I remember this was on the old FIFA RTWC 98 - it was brilliant.

Martins is much better than his poor shooting stats seem to suggest, at least for me. I find that he finishes a lot of chances. You could get Martins and when it comes to pre-season use the adjust training to focus on his shooting. If not, his pace is also useful on the wing.

I like to drive them in at the near post, hard and low, with some out-swing. Have someone strong to receive the ball and you will win it a lot. You also get lots of useful deflections, especially when you consider how close the ball is to the goal line. I've recently experimented with pointing...

With Recoba run down the left wing in training. When you get 18 yards from the line hold down so you run straight towards the right touchline and parallel to the goal line. Still holding down, shoot when you get near to or just past the middle (i.e. around the 'd' area). This move should pull...

This has happened loads of times to me, but close replays level with the goal-line show the ball doesn't go in. Even his feet will be a good distance behind the line but if you look really hard you can see a tiny little bit of the ball is still on the line. It's really annoying, I think they...

Can't say I've ever seen Roberto Carlos do it, he hits loads of right foot shots for me (surprisingly well too!). Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't do it because he has fairly decent weak foot stats. What he does do is use the outside of his right foot when he should cross with his left, but he does...

The game calls him Koltarii for Anderlecht, although you should be okay with searching for Kompany because he plays for Belgium natiional side and their names are correct.

The guide suggests that players are more likely to make positional errors when played out of position. Their movement will be poor and they will won't mark opponents as well. It's hardly noticeable with say, a CB at SB but if you played, say, a RWF at RB he would mark his man poorly and rarely...

It's a combination of what is said above. Quoted directly from PES5 guide it is: 'How reliably a player can perform his duties. The lower his Consistency, the more likely he is to make a poor pass, misdirect a header, or send a shot into row Z. There are some remarkably mercurial players in...

Club Brugge (unsure of spelling) is a real club. They're called FC Belgium in the game. Anderlecht (whom Kompany plays for) is near the bottom of the 'Others A' screen. It's at the bottom because it's fully RSC Anderlecht.

See if you can find a 17 year old Japanese guy from 'Newcomers' group called Shimuzi, he's versatile, dev curve hits 94-95 ish and at 17 he has lots of 80+ stats and an agility of 97. Good find, quite funny appearance though... he's only 160cm tall.

Best not to turn away from the way you want to shoot. Either face the way you're shooting, or face directly towards the line. Turning away from the shot and then shooting the other way (ie turning to near post then shooting far post) is normally a bad idea in one on ones as it closes the angle...

The stadiums have no effect, only the crowd bias. Choosing 'Red Cauldron' (Anfield) and playing as Liverpool won't give you an advantage against other teams unless you set the crowd bias to you. As far as I know that disgusting, disgraceful pitch with the lines is just random. Also there's no...

With corners sometimes you see the guy at the near post lose his marker and get in front of him (I'm not talking about the short pass option). Often if that player is decent press up and hit the ball with almost no power. This puts the ball in hard and low and you can usually connect with a good...

9-1 on 6*. I play 15 minute matches.

Warning: Do not sign Paul Robinson whatever you do. He is the most inconsistent and mad goalkeeper I've ever seen on this game. Once he came out to collect an overhit throughball and never stuck his arms up to catch it, letting the ball fly in over his head. Other times he is brilliant, but he...

I never, ever, regulate condition. I used to on PES4 but on 5 it makes the form arrows worse, not better. Normally you have maybe six players on red and yellow arrows, regulate condition and they'll all have green and light blue, whilst some useless third choice goalkeeper will jump onto red. I...

Bradley. Strong defensive player also turns into a good passer.

Henry and Babel. Between them you've got absolutely everything. I do like to play wing forwards though so my best front 3 tends to be Ronaldinho/Recoba --- Babel --- Henry

Van Bommel from Barcelona does an awesome long shot, better than his stats suggest. Just point the shot at the far post, use about 1/3 power, and you should do a decent shot. I wouldn't recommend controlled shot from far out because I think it's too weak. The shot will be more likely to go in...
