Quick Tips
Use L1/LB triggering — calling players on runs before you receive the ball opens up passing lanes your opponent cannot predict.
Manual defending is key — jockey with L2/LT instead of pressing. Let the AI contain while you cut passing lanes with your CDM.
Time your skill moves — only use skills when the defender is within 2 meters. Too early and they recover, too late and you lose the ball.
Invest during content drops — buy meta players on Monday, sell Thursday before Weekend League. Market cycles are predictable and profitable.
Complete Foundation SBCs first — they give untradeable packs that can kickstart your club with zero coin investment.
