Knowing how to use your goalkeeper can get you out of a hole at the back, with timing your charge the vital component. If you're feeling brave, you can manually switch to GK (touch pad/'view' button) but judging when to dive is very difficult. As for crosses, if the ball is likely to go over the 'keeper's head, use cover far post (hold R3/click + hold R stick).

To quick-start counter-attacks with your goalkeeper, use driven throw (R1 + X/RB + A) and driven kick (R1 + ■ /RB + X), and if you use them right you can quickly play the ball into space.

Use driven kick (R1 + ■ /RB + X) to spread the play quickly, so look at the radar to hit players in space.
