I tend to do the same as Arnica_ mentioned above, stay in my position (try to be on the shoulder of last man). Create good passing angles to recieve the ball for short passes with my back to goal or run into open space, tapping R2 like crazy........ but only when there is a clear route for the pass otherwise you knacker your self out.
No matter what team your playing with no computer controlled player is going to find you with an inch perfect through ball that disects 6 players to leave you with a clear scoring chance.....
