Sending the keeper up for corners

[Ellis_D]

Is this no longer possible? Got to say, I will be very, VERY disappointed if this new set piece style has taken away the possibility of not only sending my keeper up for corners (I like to do saves where my keeper gets loads of goals), but also getting to choose where my players go for each corner.

Only had a quick look so far, but can't work it out. Hope I'm wrong?!

Don't think it's possible on this year's edition mate. There seems to be no option in the tactics or set piece section for it.

To be honest I didn't know you could do it in previous editions.

I was trying to do this yesterday and couldn't figure it out either. I'm 100% convinced that my keeper would have scored had I been able to send him up in the 96th minute of the FA Cup final, that I went on to lose   

 

Edit: if this isn't possible any longer then it's laughable. Teams send keepers up every weekend.

Weirdly I never saw this on old FM's but now see it with opposition all the time...which is fine. I just never knew this was an option for players to do it.

I've put this as a feature request/suggestion not that long ago. Hopefully they approve it for a future FM 

[Ellis_D]

I don't want it approved for a future FM - I want them to bring back the option now! I like to have a goalkeeper taking all my freekicks and penalties, and going up for all corners, to try and get them as many goals as possible.

To not be able to do this now, especially when teams always send keepers up when losing late on, is ridiculous.

Why remove it?! SI???

Mine went up late on when I was losing and I’ve seen the AI do it. I was on very attacking mentality I think. I didn’t send him up he just did it. 
 

It does seem ridiculous you can’t “choose” to do it.

I had an AI GK score against me in stoppage time to tie the score. Wish we could do that. 

[SanTullo]

I think if you are down, and in the closing seconds. Your GK may run up for the set piece. It has only happened for me a handful times, it might have something to do with the mentality.

[Ellis_D]

But again, them doing it automatically isn't good enough. We had the option to send them up for years, and now haven't.

SI always do things like this, remove something good that works fine, then reintroduce it years later as a "new feature".

[steff91]

same thing happened to me tbh,the AI sent the keeper up very late in a game,we countered and scored  

[nunch98]

I am 2-1 down in stoppage time and was looking on how to do it, apparently very attacking and it decideds for you if he's coming up for the set piece

[Jack Joyce]

If you are on Very Attacking mentality in added time then your goalkeeper will join attacking corners automatically.

We may in future add an option to disable this functionality, in case some managers don't want their keepers ever going up for them, but allowing a goalkeeper to attack every corner regardless of match context is not supported in the new system and there's not really a realistic use-case for it.

There should also be nothing prevent you from choosing where players go for each corner (other than the goalkeeper thing above).

But it would be fun though and that's why I'm playing the game.

I'll be honest I'd never even noticed this in any version before this one - it seems to be more prevalent with the AI this year, it's a nice touch - we've had a few funny end of game goals as a result of the opposition sending their keeper up. Very lifelike, I like it!
