Run Into The Pass - It’s very easy to rush attacks, I know because I still do it myself from time to time even though I’m always telling others not to, but this move serves as a good reminder of how going backwards can sometimes be more effective than trying to relentlessly move forwards.

To do this one, as you receive the ball you just use the left stick to run for a second or two in the direction the pass came from. This should hopefully bring the defender out with you, creating a gap that you can take advantage of by using a turn, a skill move or by playing a one-two with a team-mate. Although you’re seemingly retreating rather than advancing, what you’re actually doing is pulling the opposition’s defence out of shape, ready for when you do start going forward again.

As well as bringing a defender out of position, it also gives the opposition player something to think about. Once they realise you’re not always going to immediately turn left or right when you get the ball, they’ll probably begin to stand off a bit more, giving you time and space to plot your next move.

If you want to be really flash you can combine this with one of my favourite dribbling moves, the Face-Up Dribble Turn. All you do is run into the pass as above then hold both triggers or L2 and R2 as you’re running away from the defender. Your player should spin to face his marker, then you can burst away to the left or right by holding sprint and hitting the left or right stick in your chosen direction. Pull that move off and your opponent will be a lot less keen to press you instantly when you receive the ball next time.
