😂 @hepek do you mean for the previous one's
Check the set piece section.
The most recent variant is just a small change.

Another variation tweak A2 to lurk at near post
With this variation Psg scored 7 direct corner goals in the Ucl, 10 direct corner goals in the league and 16 assisted from corners in the data hub. With A2 lurking at the near post my cbs scored 4 headed goals in total

The previous variation of A3 at the far post is not effective.
Its difficult to analyse the set pieces as the test was simulated.

Bonus tip: Set some defenders additional training focus to Aerial. I noticed an increase in the heading attributes, especially in under 25 players


Psg with 10 goals directly from corners 22 in total
Bayern 11 and 17 in total
Psg 9 corner goals in the Ucl
Bayern 5 corner goals in the Ucl



V2 corner routine with a short corner routine.
V2 as the first routine, set piece frequency.
V2 very frequent, short corner routine frequency normal.



Current save stats in the Ucl and Ligue Un.
Corner location variety near post and centre zone.
Olympique lyon feminine



Lyon 6 direct corner goals, 17 from corners.
Set piece takers boost the set piece numbers especially for small teams that need quality takers.
Renard scored 12 goals from set play.
The new match engine change:
Added ability for players to control the ball with their head in certain situations to bring the ball down.
This change also affects corner, i dont know if it improves the frequency of goals scored.
In my recent mancity save i noticed a nice flick on from Haaland at the near post to Guehi free at the far post.

My routines still work after the update. 5 corner goals in 7 premier league matches and 2 corner goals in 2 ucl (r16) matches.
(Mancity challenge, real fixtures and result)


All matches played
End of season 16 corner goals with Mancity, matching the premier record.
35 set piece goals in all competitions
7 corner goals in the Ucl.
Few from direct free kicks.
Is it possible to have the link, please ?

The near post and short corner attacking routine is effective especially for better results across all competitions.
