I play on PS4, not CPU, no mods, etc. Wouldn't know how to even do any of that anyway. No clue whatsoever how to share videos.
Here's tips that I posted several months ago:
The fake shot - Works well in dangerous areas resulting in free kick attempts.
L2 Shielding- Very useful with your target man.. Pass him the ball outside the box and use L2 so he has his back to goal. Back into the man, trick move, sprint, a variety of these will give you a better chance of drawing a mistake from the defense.
L2 is also handy down the flanks near the corner flags. With your back to the defender this is where they make last ditch tackles resulting in free kicks in good areas.
And one thing I can't stress enough is lay off the sprint button. I always play at a slow pace allowing the defender to get touch tight. I want to try to draw contact, you won't do that very often if you are running full pace constantly. The only time I regularly use the sprint button is if I am trying to beat an offside trap and try to beat the last man. If you can get a jump on the last defender, try quick changes in direction. The quick turn of pace will bump up your chances of drawing a foul and likely a red card if he's the last man.
Play at a slow speed and when you are getting closed down, then try a quick burst, or trick move, or change of direction.
Another tip that works really well is as soon as you see the signal for a delayed foul with a waved on advantage, literally let go of all buttons. The player will slow down and the ref will blow for the foul. Free Kick ensues.

Straight on point. All things I do to get free kicks. To me, the best skill ever is the body feint, I do it often with the agile players, defenders are afraid of that.
I'm getting slowly happier with my fouls quote as well. Another tip that works very well, especially when CPU is cheating on you (like OFTEN with over 60 defenders with pace 60 catching up within 3 secs against your winger with pace like Sterling): when you're running (with the ball or catch a loose one) I tend to give those 2 touches to direction I'm running. Ok, probably everyone knows that. The thing is I do this BEFORE I catch the ball then my player will start his acceleration way before he normally does. try that. You definitely can see it in my gameplay. Results are a) defenders wave bye b) they'll be forced to make fouls.
Still, most annoying thing since Fifa 17 is having watch my players being shoved away whenever those AI ****ers do that fake shot (it works even with AI players with ovr 60!). Sometimes even when I just stand there with my L2 to wait the bastard gets finished with that useless "skill" (it also looks horrible and without context), STILL sometimes my player is not allowed to go and get the ball. What was FIFA thinking?? Doesn't that annoy you guys too? Was there that before FIFA 17? I can't remember that on FIFA 16.
Now, I DO KNOW exactly when they're doing it, but no escape, it will catch you. THAT drives me insane.
