possession

[duderanch]

what are some best ways to have ball possession? I'm playing barcelona Xavi and Iniesta are awesome but sometimes my ball possession is low. What I do is Stay on feet, Pass to feet, Retain possession and play short passing and slow tempo. However, after doing this I only have 38 or 45% possession. Does anyone know how else to improve possession?

Attacking play, slow, short passing and narrow play and that usually does the trick.

Using the Control and Retain Possession instructions always works for me.
