Hi there

I am currently playing a 4-3-3 with wide wingers with some success. In open play it is working alright but I seem to lose tight games due to my team being hopeless on set pieces. I hardly ever score on corners. I have a couple of tall centre backs with good jumping and heading and would expect them to bag a goal from corners on occasion. I also have a couple of midfielders that a good at long shots. But I just can’t seem to get the routine for corners right.

Does any one have a good suggestion on how to get my corners right.


Cheers

There are quite a lot around on here, but what I do is:

GK, 2 full backs set to "stay back".

My best header/jumper is set to "near post flick on".

I then have my best corner taker obviously taking them, with my best "long shots" person as "outside area".

Then I set corners (on team instructions) as "near post" on the side that allows it to be an inswinging corner (ie; if I've got a right footed corner taker, the inswinging corner is from the left) and mixed on the other side.

I score a lot from the front post corner, and a few less - but still a lot - from the mixed as he often picks out the man on the edge of the box, who hits it in, whether scoring or creating a scramble which sometimes goes in.
