Near-post corner joy for 10.3

[cragswfc]

Remembering I got a lot of goals from corners in FM years back, I've tried recreating the routine for FM10 using the 10.3 patch and it appears to be working ( a goal every other game).

IN-SWINGER TO NEAR-POST DELIVERY (Left footer takes right side corner and vice versa)

2 Players - Stay back (Full Bks usually)

1 Player - Back if needed (DMC or ball-winning CM)

1 Player - Lurk (Best shot)

3 Players - Stand far post

1 Player - Challenge keeper (DC)

1 Player - Near post flick-on (DC-best header)

The far post guys are merely decoys. The lurker is in case of a bad clearance from the occasional out-swinging corner. If you've got a big target man you can use him instead of a

centreback to improve his goal tally.

This ploy usually results in a direct headed goal from the near-post flicker or the keeper-challenger picks up the bits and pieces from a keeper/ defender spill and scrambles it in !

Not sure if it's another bug but at least the goal incidents look more realistic. Give it a go !

Ive had lots of success with out swinging corners to the back post with Shawcross attacking the back post but I'll certainly give this a go and report back. I'd be interested in a defensive set up as I seem to concede quite a few from set pieces.

what fm was that?

[aderow]

have you thought about setting one of the 3 back post players to attacking the near post?
