::Ahem:: On topic now... I have one basic theory. Freeze the defender, use your speed, change direction if the defender is on to you.
You've got absolutely the right idea, Xen. Use your speed. You can always go faster forward than the guy can go backwards, even if you have the ball. I use the stepover, headfake and tap ahead, then burn past on the outside. If it looks like he's got that covered, cutting back to the inside or tapping the ball through the defender's legs is an option. Not 100% effective, though.
However, I prefer the efficient give-and-go over the one-on-one. If you can keep the defender from getting within reach of the ball, your chances of success are better.
