Common misconception
In a GCSE assessment the assessor will expect to see you be on the ball as an attacker and trying to beat defenders with tricks and feints.
An assessor is looking for the selection of the most appropriate skill for the situation to outwit an opponent which could be a passing option or creating space. It is more about the contribution to the team performance and strategic application.
