Monk Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 hey guys! I have quite a problem with this new team is started to manage. 6 out of 10 goals that I loose are from set pieces( usually cross+header=goal). It never happened to me before and I don't know what to do. I tried different things with the defence set-up but nothing seems to work. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley21 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just buy tall players, since SI removed the man mark feature its impossible to defend them properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliccook Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 just don't concede corners! seriously this is a massive problem. For and against. centre backs scoring hatricks is not uncommon! I really despair whenever i give a corner away, just get that sinking feeling.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 My CB's are 190cm(6'3) and 184(6'1) and my WB's 184(6'1) and 187(6'2) so I didn't think that this would be an issue and seriously I feel helpless. How can I concede less corners ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliccook Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 i was half joking about conceding less corners. even if you only concede two or three they will probably score one. seriously. there is nothing you can do. it is a known bug and SI can't seem to get the fundamentals right so they ignore it!!!

Coentrao Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Don't have your full backs on the posts, get them to mark players since they will normally have better attributes for marking also having tall players will help of course but you will still concede sometimes since it's kind of a weakness on the ME.

CityAndColour Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It's ridiculous. I'm sure if you ran a soak test the amount scored from set pieces would be about right, but if you actually watch the games, the amount of chances created from set pieces is absurd. Defenders don't mark on the 3D and keepers have no presence in their six yard box, so you see countless goals scored from a yard out. I guess the only consolation is you score a bunch too, but it remains one of the biggest 'game-breakers' for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCEaves31 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I just set my match preparation to Defensive Set Pieces if i find myself conseeding alot of set plays... it seems to work for me after a couple of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhughthom Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The fact that player seem to like heading the ball out for a corner, when it would actually he just as easy to head it back upfield doesn't help. I guess the only consolation is you score a bunch too If only that were true for me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 D R : Mark Small Player D CR: Mark Tall Player D CL: Mark Tall Player D L: Mark Small Player DM CR: Man Mark DM CL: Man Mark AM R: Mark Far Post AM L: Mark Near Post S CR: Go Back S CL: Edge of Area That is my setup and I concede very few corners. If the full backs are tall and strong, they could be set to marking tall players instead. The left striker is the fastest one and the right the tallest one - every point in Jumping/Pace counts. The one player set to Go Back is often loitering quite centrally in front of goal and I often see that it is him that clears away corners that don't go to the near or far post. Two or more on Go Back and it doesn't work like that. Midfielders that are good in the air (Fellaini comes to mind) should also be set to Mark Tall Players... basically as many as possible marking tall players, except one at each post, one Go Back and one at the Edge of Area.
