Good tips. I've always loved soccer games, despite never really playing organized soccer past my early youth, and at times it's quite obvious that I am not managing my cyber teams to their full potential when playing FIFA or PES (I broke down and bought both this year). I couldn't agree more about using the radar. It really does open up the entire field, as opposed to the 30% or so you can see on-screen. I find that I play my best when the game is tied or I'm ahead, because I really do enjoy playing possession and gradually building up towards a goal. The problem is, when I fall behind and the clock starts ticking away, I get frustrated on defense and far too risky with my offense, opting for through balls and hail mary passes that rarely succeed against a good opponent.

I've found myself watching more Premiere League on Saturdays to strengthen my grasp on the strategic concepts, and it's actually helped more than I would expect.
