When you start a new season and cannot find the team, go back then enter that category again. The teams will change.

To score an easy goal from a penalty, just tap B with no direction pressed. You will nearly always score.

You can score easy goals by crossing from the side and pressing B for a bicycle kick/header (90% success rate).

Swap sides and sabotage your opponent's line up. Take off the king-pins, put center backs up front, etc. Then, resume control of your original team again and continue playing.

To easily fake the goalie out on the opposite team, press Black. The goalie will dive to a ball that is not there. Then, make a left or a right and press Y. Do not press B or the ball will go in an unwanted place.

Move the Right Analog-stick slightly towards you then immediately press B. You will be able to score a beautiful goal from about 30 meters with some nice action.

In other to get a good free kick, you must stop the meter at the green spot and the ball must curved to fool the keeper. There is no need to bend the ball, because it bends itself. If you bend it, you will miss the goal. The meter must stop near the green spot. Just aim the ball by the side of keeper slightly to the right of your screen. There is no need to bend the ball and take the free kick. Try this in practice mode.

To score a free kick, put the target in the top corner of the side of the goal that the wall is standing in front of. Make sure that you do not press Spin and that the spin target is in the dead center of the ball. Put a fair amount of power in, but do not go near there. Also, make sure the accuracy is in the middle of the green. The ball will shoot over the wall and into the top corner.

Kieron Dyer might only be four and half stars, but is a lot better. He can run past anyone and is well worth buying.

If you cannot find your team in a region in career mode, choose that team as your "Own Team" in your profile in My FIFA 2005. You will then find that team listed first in its current region.
