Tips and Tricks for Rivals/Online?

In div 5 & 6 you can get good at la croqueta (literally as easy as a ball roll) and take it past their whole team. If the opponent isn't used to defending Vs them they'll be useless at stopping them.

To counter high pressure make sure you switch the play regularly to keep them wasting energy. Look for defense splitting passes when you are in their half as their players will run out of position trying to press you.

Get good at dragbacks and faking out your opponent when you're in their box. Lots of players tend to freak out when they're defending in the box and you can open up easy goal opportunities against them by simply changing direction with a dragback.

And to counter the drop back/park the bus style of play I'd recommend holding possession outside their box and frustrating them then using different attacking maneuvers like cutting-in, faking them out with dragbacks, running down the wing and crossing etc. When your opponent has no read to accurately predict your next move they will make a mistake sooner or later and you'll create a goal scoring opportunity.
