Any thoughts on the default selection of players for various set piece roles? I noticed that aerial threats seem to be selected based on an average of jumping reach, heading and strength, but this does not seem optimal. Jumping reach seems much more important than the other two; some level of heading is needed to get the ball on target, but I can’t tell if strength has any benefit at all.

Corner Taking is pretty much corners and which foot they are using, depends on whether I am after an inswinger or outswinger. I usually select Aerial Threats on Jumping Reach given the attribute testing on this site. Then Creators on Technique and Recovery Defenders on Pace. I also take into account where the players need to end up after the set piece and order of priority. For instance I wouldn't have my best aerial threat taking a corner just because he had the best corner delivery.
@Gerrard requested I test his Azure V3 routine. It has now been tested and included in the results on the opening post. It did very well under my rating system finishing 3rd.
So i see that best set pieces comes from Han 106 Bests Hits (best Goals from Corner, and Best Goal against from corner) Where could i find these set pieces ?

I was wondering if you're still active and would be willing to test a few set-piece routines I found online (from FM-Gamers & FM-Base) to see how they rank on your testing table. If you're up for it, I'll attach them here in advance. Of course, full credit and shout-out to the original creators!

Competition page => click on the comp name => stats => team detailed On the left side, scroll down to the attacking section and you will see goals from corners, goals from direct free kicks and so on.
It's been 10 months and there are different set pieces now. I am going to upload another one that includes the best performers from the current set and see if it beats my 1-24 best hits.

Speaking of which. I haven't gone through every single routine in here so maybe it's included somewhere. Has Workthespace world cup corner routine been tested? Everyone seems to be using it lately

Sorry guys but I don't have the database anymore. Was preparing for FM25 so cleaned up a fair bit of stuff.

It is possible. But I am not sure it is probable given the changes to set pieces this year. Feel free to give it a go if you want.

hey @Mark where did you get the Katana set pieces from? I don't remember uploading any SP for it

That is just the base, ie no set piece loaded.

All the set pieces tested are uploaded under their own threads in the Set Piece Sharing Section
Thanks Mark

Is Blue or Azure V3 the best set piece schedule?

As per the opening post, I have Blue on top but not a lot between the top 6 routines
Can you please advise me how to check goals from set pieces? Many thanks!

Azure scores more often, but also concedes more often. Blue scores less often from corners, and concedes less overall.
I still haven't found which is the best set pieces tactic, which one do you use in general?
mthn said: I still haven't found which is the best set pieces tactic, which one do you use in general?
I use Azure V3 most of the time but, Blue is also great.

Very good friend, I'm waiting
Hey, @Mark. Any chance we get Han's last routines tested?
Thank you for all the effort!
