I have never scored directly from a corner to my knowledge in two seasons, and neither have any team who play against me.

75% of the time, the forward misses a sitter and 25% the forward puts it just wide/over or the goalkeeper saves it.

Take everyone off the near post, set your best long shooters to outside the area, and your best headers to attack from deep or attack near post. I didn't score more than a couple for three seasons, then read someone's post on here and i get one every three or four games now.

I meant the FAR post. But you knew that, right?

Thanks for the tips! But it's odd that the opposition also suffer the same problem as me and I'm talking top teams I play against.

You should search the forums because there are many many threads about settings for corners.

The one that works for me is this.

Best header 2 attacks the near post (but this is really just a decoy)
Best header 1 attacks the far post (the most potent position to score from)
Next best header challenges the keeper
One forward in the box, the other attacks the ball from deep

All corners should be directed into 6 yard box. If you make sure that your best corner kick taker takes the corners, you should be scoring a few goals from corners each season.

If you are not having goals scored against you from the corners, you are lucky.

In my experience, the best position to score corners from is Attack Near Post. Kolo Toure scores for fun from there.

And if you have a player with excellent Off The Ball stats, stick him on Challenge Goalkeeper, he'll move before the goalie does and beat him to the ball. Lucas Leiva scored 3 headers like that in 3 matches, for me.

If you want to concede less goals from corners, always leave 3 of your players Stay Forward, as it means 4 opposing players will Stay Back with them. Except when there's 10 minutes to go, and they are chasing a result, which usually means they leave just one player or even none, and I score on the counter attack.

According to this set up, I get roughly 10 goals a season from corner which is decent and realistic, I'd say. In fact, if you have someone challenge GK (with good jumping and heading), he'd be the one who scores most from corner (more than CBs who attack from either post)

Flick on near post will no longer work for this current version.
