jsl Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would like it if it was possible to tell my players NEVER to try to shoot from a free kick. I'm in the Championship and I've now gone for about 1.5 seasons without scoring a SINGLE goal from a DFK, so it feels silly how the players waste those great chances by just shooting the ball high and wide every time. So just an idea, you should be able to tell your players to always pass or cross from a free kick, never shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty bison Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Agreed You should be able to select what players should do for a free kick in each of, say, six segments of the opposition half (e.g., Segment 1, cross 75% pass 25%, Segment 2, shoot 50% pass 50%, Segment 3 shoot 75% cross 25%).

Definately needs to be put in, pretty fed up of my players trying their luck from 40 odd yards and missing every time when they'd have been better of crossing.

geogman Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have the opposite prbolem. In the first half of the season Veloso got 10 goals from free kicks but then without any change to the tactics he started to pass them to another player who would shoot and miss.

BuryBlade Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I agree with OP. My players waste so many opportunites around the area when I think- just pass the damn ball this time but no. Idea for future releases is a training ground style option where you can work on set piece routines with your team so you can instruct them on new free kick methods Like Sheff Utd tried a few years ago (Middlesbrough in FA cup), you could come up with crazy free kicks and see if they work or not.

That's an excellent idea sir. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonement Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 totally in favour of this because i send my big centre backs up into the box for free kicks, a lot of the time rather than shooting my free kick taker will square it to a centre back who'll either send it over the bar or play it back to my own keeper id also like to distinguish a keepers distribution between goal kicks and when he has the ball in his hand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
