timmy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Anybody had scoring from headers off free kicks? I don't recall seeing many in my game. lots of other types of goals though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrari312 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 They do happen...but yeah much, much rarer than FM08, but 99% of those in FM08 were always disallowed anyway! :@ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmy Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 free kicks, long shots, players rounding the keeper etc Yes. But headers off free kicks? Quite rare.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah it can be frustrating that for any free-kick a shot will be taken, even when its out wide on the right and theres no way of scoring... instead of crossing it in they try shoot and its very annoying. Think its being looked at though! Hopefully fixed in the patch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah i score loads. Score more headers off free kicks than from corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Canaries Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I score from corners on about a 2% ratio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 For some reason I hardly ever saw a free kick down either side of the 18 yard box, and every other free kick, regardless of angle or distance, for both me and ai teams, ended up with a shot being taken rather than a cross.

CPS Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My CB's weigh in with quite a few headers from free kicks. However, that is in the bottom tier of the N. Irish Leagues and the defending is abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appalling defending and my LW gets a toe to it from a scramble and the ball trickles in off the post. Sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avelives Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Havent seen one in over half a season here, ive also noticed a distinct lack of goals from whipped in crosses and direct headers on goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDEHLSON Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My team scored some headers. Free-kicks and corners ^^ All my defs have high heading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliff7197 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Just had a header off a free kick now actually. Beautiful inswinging ball delivered from the left hand side, my forward got beyond the last man to leap and power a header into the back of the net. Not sure how often I score them though, not really noticed. I'll keep an eye out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boywonder9 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Pretty rare for me. Even worse are direct kick shots. I don't have a great free kick specialist, 14 is my best I think. But he never even comes close when he goes directly for goal. I just finished a season where I scored around 90 goals, and none were from direct free kicks.
