Default Near post headers....

Has anyone ever scored from a near post header??

I am into the year 2023 and when the guy at the near post heads it always goes wide, not even a chance of a flick on.

Has anyone scored from the near post angle???

Cheers.

Near post corners are a known issue. From being scored way too freaquently prepatch they are now completly useless. Too bad they didn't tweak them to be flick ons instead of lousy goalattempts.

Doesn't seem to matter what corner intructions I give, it always goes to the near post.

There are also far too many go directly into the side netting without anyone touching it

I've scored a few, with the default set piece instructions set.

Mainly talking about the corners that not headed away by the guy stood too close to the corner taker.

Between that and some other poster noticing you're better off with standard tactics, you have to wonder what the point is. Game seems to have been reduced more to 'pick the default tactic and let the game play itself', i.e. why bother having human interaction at all?

John Terry, when set to attack near post, scores plenty. He does have good attributes. I think you need a really good set piece taker taking the corner and a really good header/jumper in that position.

Don't use anyone on 'near post flick ons' . Instead aim your corners into the 6 yard box and have 3-4 players attack the ball and one standing on the far post.
