Default Free kicks - anyone got how to set em up?

Hi there everyone!

It seems like free-kicks is having less impact than before, as I haven't scored a single free kick cross ( header ) ever since the new patch is out.
anyone got the right setup to score?

p.s
what are IFKs and DFKs? what does it stand for?

IFK = indirect free kick

DFK = defensive free kick

Free kicks suck in FM08. I actually wonder how come nobody complains about them, I feel it's the No2 problem in this game. Maybe everyone else has done sth with them?

Anyway, the only way I 've found to achieve not-so-horrible (but still horrible) crosses form free kicks, is to set players on "Forward", then go to "Corners" instructions (you heard me right) and set players on "attack ball from deep". For some reason this affects free kicks too, and some crosses actually end up on my strikers' heads.

Buy Pirlo, he scored loads for me.

I always thought DFK stood for Direct Free Kick - meaning you can shoot without a touch.

IFK means what Glory said indirect meaning a player needs to touch it before shooting.

thx for the DFK IFK explanation.

I'd love to get some input from anyone who's having success with free-kicks setup.

See were your tall players are standing in conjuction to were your telling the corner taker to kick the ball. You can select were you want the ball played to i.e. far post centre near post and you can make your taller players stand in specific places also. All done in tactics screen team/player instructions.

I'm talking about crossing from free kicks, e.g IFKs not shooting free kicks ( DFK ).

how can you tell your tall players where to stand? this can be done only by Forward\disrupt wall,Challange GK and stay back if needed...
