Harryseaess Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am managing AC Milan and am coming up to January of the 3rd season and I currently don't have a decent set piece taker due to me selling Pirlo becuase he was unhappy. So I was wondering if anybody could suggest a player that is good at set pieces but is also good enough to play in my AC Milan team? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Dario SrnaRobin van Persie Srna is at City and Van Persie is at Madrid, I would probably have to pay alot of money to get them to accept the bids. Anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevrin Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Srna is at City and Van Persie is at Madrid, I would probably have to pay alot of money to get them to accept the bids.Anyone else? How about Veloso? He has been my set piece taker since I bought him. But sometimes he do make mistakes when he is taking set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherica- Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Juan Manuel Vargas Simon Vukcevic Daniel Parejo (very good prospect) Balotelli is a good choice too if you can get him off your rival.

uppercut Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 if you want young FK taker, i'd suggest veloso (plus he can play in pirlo's DMC playmaker spot) or balotelli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Some great suggestions here, thanks guys. I have made bids for Miguel Veloso, Daniel Parejo, Simon Vukcevic and Mario Balotelli. Juan Manuel Vargas looks class but he is at Barcelona and only signed at the start of the season so he is out of the question. FallenAngel MTW - I sold Ronaldinho due to Chelsea coming in with a bid for £40m. Thanks for the help guys . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theincrediblehulk Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Matias Fernandez is an old favourite of people and he's an excelent free-kick taker. Decent corner taker as well. Simon Vukcevic is also quality at all set-pieces. Awesome long shots as well. Jefferson Farfan, VDV, Luca Cigarini, Matias Abelairas are all worth a shout as well.

theincrediblehulk Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i am in season 14/15any good recommendations Thats a long way in. You might be best off looking for regens. Balotelli would defenitely be one. I think Daniel Aquino, if he's developed well, should become very good at set pieces as well. Miralem Pjanic, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale, Marko Marin could all turn out into great set-piece takers I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I managed to sign Vukcevic for £12.25m and Parejo for £4.5m . Thanks for the help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iselilja Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Smartest thing would just be to create a filter with the stats you are looking for (the mental stats) and then find good FK and corner takers. Not sure which mental stats is the most important one though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebeard Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Vukcevic was going to be my recommendation, so well done there. Balotelli is good at corners for my team but not so good at FKs for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 In my opinion if u still have Ronaldinho u should let him take them, left or right side of the pitch. Ronaldinho can score from the weirdest angles. But sometimes just plays a great ball into the box, or a sneaky pass. In my A.C Milan game he has saved me a few times. I would also recommend Dario Srna, he has scored a good few goals for me at various clubs. Veloso for me hasn't scored that many. He gets an occasional goal, but with Ronaldinho i get an excited feeling every time he steps up. Might just be me, and no, i dont mean "that exciting feeling" hehe To help u some more, there are certain attributes that give more advantages to free-kick takers. - Free Kick Taking Obviously this is the most important thing, mainly is linked to the players ability to get a ball on target. - Technique This might sound funny but also is important for a good free-kick. I have noticed that it especially helps with striking the ball cleanly. As an Example, i had Lassana Diarra take free-kicks at a club, he had 16 free-kick taking, but a lot of the times it said: "Diarra Doesnt strike the ball cleanly". -Creativity This is not so much for scoring the goals from direct taken free-kicks. It has more influence in which a player can swing a ball to the far post for a defender to head home. Or a quick sneaky pass behind the wall so a player can finish it. (Rember Javier Zanetti's goal when Holland vs Argentina) -Decisions This can benefit the thinking of the player and help him to make a better choice, either to take a shot on goal or try to set up a teamplayer. "Hidden Attributes" Different players have different shooting techniques. I have had a quick peak into the data editor to find some more info, and without spoiling it for anyone i can say that there are a few mental and technique attributes that are linked to a player. Think about the ability to curl a ball, or just strike it with power. And also how "selfish" a player is. I hope i shed some light on the issue, and this info helped u. It's still my personal opinion and this is usually the way i select my free kick takers. If u search for players and filter with these attributes then u can get a good freekick taker.

lancer1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Owen Hargreaves might be worth a look. Excellent at penalties and free kicks. Corners not so much... He's probably good enough for your team and you could probably get him from United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXERTYRE Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Juan Albin is a better short range Fker than Vukcevic. Vukcevic blasts his freekicks while Albin goes for placement. Albin scored 10+ freekicks per season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeNah Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Tell you guys what though, Beckham was amazing for me in one of me saves earlier. I know he is probably too old for your squad now but first maybe 3 seasons he is exceptional and hits them from anywhere. Fine playmaker for any team in the world if you ask me. He comes to crap clubs as well as the good ones. Great smart and cost efficent buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
