In the beginning, you should take things slow and work your way to the top. This means that short passes and sensible moves are much better than risking a shot at the goal for a fast track to glory. When you're looking to pass someone the ball, don't forget to zoom out. There are nearly always more players available than what camera initially shows you. Team should always come first when playing a game. Assisting a fellow player might not be as good as scoring a goal yourself, but it is still better than overestimating your abilities and screwing up. Practice your curve balls because they are both fun to do and quite effective. As in real life, corner kicks are great goal opportunities for your team. If you want to score a goal yourself, you should master your curve balls first and then aim for the empty part of the goal. You can earn in-game money by watching a couple of ads or connecting your social network profiles with the game. While you won't get much, it will be enough to unlock some features you want. Improve your score by replaying the levels you want. There are three stars you can achieve for each one, so check if you've mastered them. The rewind feature is generally considered a waste of time and in-game money. Considering that you get some of them free, you shouldn't spend cash on it. Plan out your game before starting and stick to it, because it is consistency that counts. If it fails too many times, don't be afraid to take on a different approach and try your luck. Always aim for goal corners. The one that's farthest from the goalkeeper is the one you want to hit. You can get money by playing to a higher season (like 12th), and then restarting the game. The higher the season - more money you get.
