More goals from corner? - FM-Base - Football Manager 2010 (FM10) Forum

messi__10 · 21/11/2009 #1 messi__10 Backup

I have a 4 tall player (Chygrynskiy, Pique, Yaya Toure and Ibrahimovic) and I want to get the best of them, so I need yours help, I need yours instructions for this player in attack when i have a corner.... ty

Set them to challenge keeper and put corners put sent into 6 yard box

Also for a left corner make a right footed player take it and vice versa

Challanging keeper with 2 CB was good in 2009
in 2010 I find it more effective to order the best header to challenge keeper, one tall to go to near post and one on far post. All crosses to 6 yard box

i have a Xavi, Iniesta and both of them are a good taker

For me , i have the corners taken to the far post. Put pique at the far post. Chygrynskiy to challenge keeper. Pique got 16 goals in 33 app.

angs123 · 08/12/2009 #7 angs123 Rotation

best 2 header+jumping mark keeper
3rd best near post
4th best attack from deep
5th best far post

put corners to 6 yard box. left foot or right foot does not matter for me

Well guys the challenge keeper trick dont work too well in FM10 as already stated. I changed corners to far post and found Anton Ferdinand scored 3 goals in 2 games, i will post again if this trend continues.

JP Woody · 08/12/2009 #10 JP Woody Super Moderator

I find the best system for me is to put corners into the 6yrd box. 1CB attacking near post, 1 CB Challenging the keeper and your CF attacking far post. Dont expect any killer corner tactics this year though because SI have knocked it on the head.

my fav is having your best 2 headers attack near post, and set corner taker to aim for near post.........work ok with ian goodison at tranmere in league 1

This is what i have tryed found it on the sports interactive website,good luck

Aim: Far Post
Inswinging: left footers on right corners and right footers on left corners.

GK: Default
DL: Stay Back
DR: Stay Back
DC: Attack Far (this is the primary goalscorer from corners so choose wisely)
DC Attack Near
MC: Lurk outside area
MC: Challenge 'Keeper
ML: Attack ball from deep
MR: Attack ball from deep
ST: Near post flick on
ST: Near post flick on

The primary goalscoring DC needs to have good heading, jumping, bravery, strength and anticipation which is why Phillippe Mexes has been so prolific this season for me, including a hatrick! From what i've read, height and weight don't matter in FM currently, so don't be tempted just to stick a tall guy on the Attack Far Post. If he's not brave and strong, he'll get outmuscled by the guy marking him.

Obviously it doesn't matter what formation you play, as long as the instructions match. Give it a few months and see if theres any difference, don't give up after 1 game

Luta_ever · 28/12/2009 #18 Luta_ever Trainee

not only mexes, but also Merte_sacker (spellin'

) from W.B is GREAT using this tactic. recommend u to buy him ( around 14m for 48 months ).
cheers

biutipul · 28/12/2009 #19 biutipul Amateur

Emm. I will try that. Thanks

badboy5891 · 30/12/2009 #20 badboy5891 Amateur

This tactic is very good , but I think the player who take corners prefer aim to best header , so if I have a very strong target man , the player who take corners will not aim to far post .

Luta_ever · 30/12/2009 #21 Luta_ever Trainee

they DO, but the target man will try to involve if he ATTACKS FROM DEEF. If so, try to put him in other position ( near post flick on...)

brilliant every match now richards has got the ball from the corner and has scored 80% from every corner so far and has managed to get to 100% of the corners.

This has won me every game so far, by about more than 3 goals and richards scores atleast 2 goals every match now.

Spastt · 04/01/2010 #24 Spastt Amateur

I'm going to try it out. Is there also some sort of defensive setup?

Lewis · 12/01/2010 #27 Lewis just lost the game

What I do is I look at the top corner scorer in the league, scout one of their matches when I'm not playing, see what they do and copy it
