7 days until international management is released on fm 26.
​lnternational fixtures are always a cagey affair, you have to be prepared for every scenario, what better way than to use set pieces. Whether your managing England or Brazil you need to prepare to defend and attack set pieces.
Take advantage of your players physical and technical abilities.

Current Inter save with 12 goals from corners in 27games.


6 from indirect free kicks

Yan bisseck with 5 goals from corners.
Akanji with 3 goals and 1 assist from set pieces.

With the Expanded world cup format, expect to score more goals.
End of season. Lautaro and Thuram with over 30goals (532 tactic).
This Inter side only conceded 3 set piece goals, 2 from corners and 1 from an indirect free kick.
Only 15 goals from corners, i found scoring from set pieces hard in Seria A as 80 percent of teams play with a back 3. 352 or 343.
4 goals from corners in 15 games in the Ucl.


Internal management took some getting used to
I eventually saw the staff responsibility section.
Forgot to call up other Rbs to the preminlary squad.
Reece James got injured i only have 1 natural right back in TAA. Chalobah was called up for his set piece strengths.
After losing my 2nd friendly against Brazil, and drawing in the first half to Croatia i decided to select players based on ability and chose palmer over Rodgers.
I conceded a corner to Ghana, I have not arranged the defending corner list yet.
Currently using my previous set piece routine ( not the latest ) cause the free kicks are use aerial strength.

Finally won the world cup, In my 4th try. Once with England. 3times with France.
First 2 tries. Losing in the 2nd round once to ivory Coast (1:0) and to Brazil on penalties. ( both teams packed the Bus)
3rd try to The Netherlands. I used a counter attacking style and was stopped completely losing 2:1 with few shots.

In my 4th try I used a possession based style but with dribbling more often and shoot more often off on my wingers. To encourage passing and better decisions.

I had a set piece bug were my routine changed during matches. I fixed it in the 3rd match.


Its coming home!!
Saka's good form helped England win the world Cup.

Netherlands win the world cup.



Getting the best out of players and set pieces.
Using only near post routine.
Netherlands didn't have good left footed takers.
So Gakpo and reijnders took outswinging corners.
I goal from such situation.

Route to the final and defensive tactics. 5 clean sheets, few shots on target faced.

PEAK Sergio Ramos
