What's the most goals anyone has scored from corners in fm26. Are corners Nerfed?
The most my teams have scored is 15 with Porto in the league, 15 with Arsenal in the league and 12, most times 10. (Not my routines)
Most players dont get free headers in fm26
In my set piece routine I had Gabriel score 8 goals, Saliba 5-6 , 14 in the league and 9 in the Ucl.

In the first 9 games my side had 0 goals, in gameweek 21 they scored 8 and at the end of the season 14 goals.

B0 attack near post, B1 attack near post, B2 lurk at near post.
Box crasher 1 mark keeper, box crasher 2 attack far post

Creator 1: lurk at near side, C2- come short, C3 lurk at centre.
1 recovery defender on stay back.
Test till in progress as scoring with Arsenal is easy, but quite hard in Fm26.
In tougher leagues like the prem Corners are quite hard.
The wait for the new update is finally over.
One key match engine change im looking, which will affect the frequency of corner goals.
Is the fix to defenders header reaction when under no pressure.
Finally I can play haram ball and replicate Thomas frank.

16 goals from corners with Real Madrid in the league. 10 with Bayern in the league(34matches)
11 in the premier league with Liverpool despite konate missing 14 games and Van Dijk missing 8games.

Set piece routine: no recovery defender.
A1 : attack Near post
A2: attack Near post
A3 : attack far post
A4: attack edge of area

B1 : Mark keeper

C1 : come near side
C2: come short
C3: lurk outside far side
C4: lurk outside centre.

The routines work better when familiarity is up.
With Bayern I had Kane as A2, if I had Kim min jae or upamencano as A2 could have scored more.
14 in the league with Psg, 5 in the Ucl, and 4 in the french Cup.
Second Bayern test with upamencano as A3 and kmj as A2, 12 league goals.
Another bayern test (not the third) 13 goals in the league.
Players selected based on jumping and strength. Jonathan tah as A1 and Upamencano as A2 despite heading attribute of only 14
This routine like the other corner routines would get you 9- 13 goals in the league and at least 4 in the ucl. I recently got 15 in the league and 5 in the ucl. With the best header as A2.

With the corner routine I consistently get 10-15 league goals.

Wide free kick routine : mixed
A1 , A2, attack near post
A3, A4, go forward
A5 attack far post
C1 lurk outside near side
C2 lurk outside area centre
D1 stay back
D2 stay back if needed : lurk outside far side
In my recent saves my teams have scored 8 to 9 free kick goals in the league.

Mancity test 13th corner goals in the league, Cherki and Bernardo Silva as corner takers, 4 free kicks goals, 5 corner goals in the Ucl.

In My Marseille save these routine didn't work out well just 5 corner goals and 5 free kicks in the league, although the heading ability in the squad is not so high, better set piece takers should get better results.
Set piece routine: no recovery defender.
A1 : attack Near post
A2: attack Near post
A3 : attack far post
A4: attack edge of area

B1 : Mark keeper

C1 : come short
C2: lurk outside near side
C3: lurk outside centre
C4: lurk outside far side

With this set up i got 17 corner goals in 34 league games with psg. I adjusted both the set piece taker list and personnel list.
11 with Spurs although on the datahub it says 15 goals from corner, assisted location.
Not many goals from free kicks. Especially in the premier league.
11 corner goals in the league with Arsenal, 8 in the champions league.

On the Data hub it says 15 goals from corners in the league. Originally I thought it was league goals and Ucl combined. But I now know the extra 4 is from the second phase of corners.
