Instead of being manchester united or liverpool try making your own team with all your own players on and if you make all your players on a 99 ability for everything you will have the best team ever
When you save your team it will come up in the rest of the world category and if you shoot from any where in there half it is more than likely to go in

The best way to do the challenges is to do the cups first then the challenges

First, pick AC Milan, then pass to Pirlo go the half of the field, standing still, and just hold square with the bar filled all the way up. It works 70% of the time.

To have a great team create some players with an overall score of 99, create a club and put your created players in it and put players with an overall score of 80 or above, when done you will win most of your matches.

In manager mode when you go to team management it can trick you. Like once I put A.Robben in LCB & it said 100/87. But when I played him in a real game he was 53/87. So keep players in there real positions or else you're screwed.

With the trick stick go left then right to preform the elastic band(elastic band can only be used with ronaldinho)

This hint for the most part requires Ronaldo because he is just so fast. Anyway take Ronaldo all the way down to the goal without passing at all. When you get in the Goalies Box you pretty much be 1 on 2, you v.s. The goalie and 1 defender. The defender will go behind the goalie and wait for you. Now for the part where you own both of them. First of all you rainbow it over the goalie, this may seem hard and it takes a while to learn but when you get it, it is a great weapon. Next let the ball bounce to the ground now you will use a move that beats most players when used 1 on 1 it is called the 360 Spin. After that you should just be able to walk it in.


Controls of moves:

Rainbow: press up and swivel in a semi-circle to the left and end at the bottom.

360 Spin: press back and then in a semi-circle swivel the stick forwards along the bottom. Note: some players aren't good enough to rainbow it.

The best youth players are
Walcott-Arsnel
Nasri-Marseille
Ramon-Coreinthinelis
Agger-Liverpool
Fabregas-Arsnel
Rodgers-Youth Player
Aislati-PSV Eindihoven
Vuchinic-AS Roma
Bale-Southampton
Ronaldo-Manchester United

To get a very easy goal just give the ball to your keppers feet (if in his hands just drop to your feet) then just drible to about the second line of grass) about 10 yards ) and hold lob all the way down. Then switch to your forward and just start running to the other goal. If you do it right you should have a clean breakaway. (HINT: make sure you give time for your fowards and there Defense to get back to half way line or there Defense will just get the ball).

Half way goals
Sometimes have a shot from half because the keeper is usually out and the ball will go over his head and ALWAYS have shots at goal from ALL free kicks I once did it from behind the half way line with Nemaja Vidic (I was using Manchester United)it bounced over the keepers head.

Easy goals
When one on one with the goalkeeper, press L2 + Circle to do a finesse shot. This will trick the keeper from going from one side to the other. For example, fake right and shoot left or vice versa. It will go in about 90% of the time.

If you have the ball and are outside the area but not on your half, you can check on the map how far the keeper is off his line. Normally he is about two meters. You can lob him easily if you get the power correct.

Easy wins
When you are losing a match, press Start and go to "Select Sides". Switch to the other team, then shoot at your own net and score goals for your team original. Once your team is winning by a comfortable lead, switch back to your original team.

Finding Giovanni Dos Santos
You can find Giovanni Dos Santos in Barcelona's reserve list. Even though he is only 69 overall you can edit his stats and make him as good as Ronaldinho. You will then have two of the best midfielder's in the game.

Double stepover
Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho are two of the best dribblers. Use the Trick Stick with Ronaldo or Robinho to perform a double stepover. Press Forward, then rotate left and then right.

When you take direct free kicks you should be able to make almost every single one of them pretty easily......all you have to do (in front of the box) is hold up and put about 1/3 power of a kick (no layoff) and to the area where the goalkeeper isnt....only if really nesecarry curve around but that gives too much time for the goalkeeper to react and block......

When on the sides of the box use a lot of curve (must bring the screen far away from the net sometimes so you can not see the net) and just tap the circle button....this will put major curve on it if you have a great free kick team i.e. I have ronaldinho I use for the left curves....and Lionel Messi for the right curves.....find out what works for you though and that will produce the most goals....

I score probably 50% of my goals from free kicks and penalties because of my aggresive play so I must be good and this is a sort of must in the game.....

When your keeper is ready to save move to any side left or right to the very end then when the other player kicks it moves the opposite way fast and 99% of the time you will save it.
I have saved over 50 penalties on my career, doing it that way.
From tooney

This is absolutely the best team ever because you don't need to pay for upgrades and they have a good base....im in my 2nd season and I have for my starters in a 3-5-2:
GK: P. Cech
RCB: G. Zambrotta
CB: Puyol
LCB: R. Marquez
RCDM: D. De Rossi
LCDM: Xavi
RWM: L. Messi Right Corner Kicker (so relief is C. Ronaldo)
LWM: C. Ronaldo Left Corner Kicker (so relief is L. Messi)
CAM: Ronaldinho
RS: Kaka
LS: Eto'o

No joke it's the best ever but it puts you under $20,000,000 after the first year but in the second year I get to make about a $1,000,000 a game... Heres
The SUBS(they are still really good):
(positions are where I play them when I sub them in)
GK: Jorquerro
CB: Oleguer
CB: Rehberg
CDM: Sylvinho
CDM: Huddlestone
WM: Motta
WM: L. Giuly
WM: Deco
CAM: A. Iniesta
S: Saviola
S: M. Ellison (Youth Academy)

Yes, if you don't admit that this is the best team ever you should be shunned....and I did just get an offer during the second transfer window to sell Eto'o to Liverpool for about $83,000,000 but I declined because I would rather have him than Wayne Rooney who I would have bought.

This is great team please consider...

Here are some really good players to buy on fifa:

GK: itandje, edije, gordon
RB: richards, barragan, iffil
CB: ramos, kompany, alex, vlaar, mertesacker, gary cahill
LB: bale, baines, lee young pyo
RWM & RM: ronaldo, lennon, quaresma, vierinha
CDM, CM & CAM: diarra, de jong, carrick, mascherano, petrov, spartakov, van der vaart, cattermole
LWM & LM: barnetta, robben, erkin
ATT: david villa, torres, sturridge, derbyshire, walcott, martins, viduka, benzema, maloney.

I am man utd and I ahve alot of these players in my squad. I am in legendary difficulty, and hav won every game in every single season including cups

From dan matthews

To perform an elastic with Ronaldinho move the trick stick forward (twice) then rotate right/left,if you fail just keep on trying

Not really a question but if you have ever wanted to get proper boots for your player like (vapors, predators, tunit+ etc.) you have to complete all challenges in Challenge mode and then go to edit or create a player go boots and there you will have all the boots and all the colours. Cheers Grant

When making a cross press L2 and square and when the striker gets it keep holding L2 and press O.

To get loads of money in manager mode all you have to do is make up a few players and make theyre overall 99 and then put them at the club you want to be and start a new manager mode and sell the created players and you should get about £40,000000 for each of them

hope I've helped

First go to create a player make about 9 with their stats all up to 99 or 98 then put them in your fav team(e.g chelsea) then go to manager mode enter all your detials.

Go pick your fav team be them in manager mode. Go to transfers then club transfer list, choose all your created players for sale play your first match then (e.g Arsenal they might bid 39 million or over 60 million depending on your players ages).

Accept all the bids then go look at your cash and you have loads to spend in the transfer market for brill players.

If you are Chelsea don't buy players of Arsenal they will never accept bids from rival clubs.

Barcelona will consider all clubs bids.
Podolski will never come on loan to your club his agent will only sell him.

When you are scoring a penalti, move the direction/left analog stick in any directions, and watch your player's head. It will be allways moving.
So, when you are defending a penalti, watch your oponent's head to see where is he going to shoot.

You know if you go on challenges and you do a football league .like championship
Football league you can add clubs so add the strongest club on the game like barcelona and do same for all the league challenges on there.

When you need a lot of possession to complete the challenge, score a quick goal, and then just hold the ball in the corners.
To shield theball in the corner, go over to the corner slowly, then tap R1 to shield.

To unlock Legendary mode, you must complete 2 challenge regions, the reward is 2,500, and the challenge is called, 'Total Footballer Challenge'

When you can not be bothered to do all of the leagues and cups, from all the countries, replace one of the better teams (square button on the team you want to replace) and place a decent team, like Chelsea, or Barca, and quick sim all the matches.

Apparently, if you acomplish 2 whole sections in manager mode then a new difficulty level unlocks which is harder than world class....

Some players can do tricks that not everybody can do
For example: Rafael van der Vaart(HSV) can do a magical- i- dont- know- the- name trick. Also check Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Pablo Aimar

Win every game in career mode by updating all of your players to 99% simulate and win but rotate your players and watch out for the occasional draw against chelsea and arsenal

When a transfer window opens (whether it is January or End/Start of season) IN THE FIRST WEEK, search for any players from any leagues that are on "free agent" then sign them if they are about rating 80. Then put their status at "for sale" this means clubs will start to bid for them at about £3,000,000 a time. In my first season, I bought a guy at 78 for £0 and sold him a week later for £7,850,000!!! By doing this I have all the upgrades you can get, and I have more than £100,000,000 !

To get an easy goal for a center ball just jog straight towards your opponents but don't sprint and one player will jog in front of you but every one else will stay where they are just keep running down the middle of the pitch until you get past the oppenents defence and then just move to the side of the man in front of you and SHOOT!!!

Shevchenko and D.Drogba are a great partnership. They have scored so many goals for me in my career

When you have just been given a freekick out side the box move your player where you want him to kick it and hold in L1 and press circle it is a very fast shot and not much time for the goalkeeper to try and save it.
