ZaZ said: Gratz! I was considering only the League. If we put together all competitions, then goals from set pieces get even higher. I would estimate them to be around ~20% of total goals of the season. Expand
ZaZ said: Thank you! Results depend a lot on the team, because of the characteristic of the players. Keep in mind I tested with teams predicted for middle of the table and last place (Like Nottingham Forest and Burnley). For corners, results range from 10-15, and indirect free kicks were 5-6 per season. Some cases got like 20 corner goals and 10 indirect free kicks, but those are outliers (however, pretty achievable for teams with better players). Expand
Using Zaz's set pieces my defender scored a very important goal from a indirect free kick in quarter final of the Champions League
Start a new save with Arsenal and first season once again make a clean sweep, win the Carabao Cup, the EPL, The FA Cup and the Champions League also break the unbeaten club record of 40 games in all competitions

But don't expect the testing server is working at its full capacity at the begging.
We're planning to start at slow pace to be sure that everything works as intended and polish things.
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
But to be honest right now at the begging we aren't looking to do something fancy, we are focused just on on bringing the basic functionally up and running, then at some point later we can consider bringing something more robust and fancy. Expand
@ZaZ Last question, do you recommend Winter or Autumn playing with Arsenal against say a side like Liverpool also changing a tactic all of a sudden would it hamper the familiarity?
ZaZ said: There are two types of set pieces, the scoring opportunities, and the transitional stops (when the match is interrupted without a clear chance to score). The first type of set piece improve tactics by increasing chance to score or reducing chance to concede. The transitional stops, on the other hand, are a challenge to keep possession and an opportunity to move to more advantageous parts of the field, so it depends on what you are trying to achieve there.
All that said, both defending and attacking set pieces also affect counter attack chances after those events, so having more players or less players advanced when you are defending can increase your chances to score if you defend with success. Expand
This tactic along with your set pieces is going to beat everything else at the top. Trust me!!!
@ZaZ Just see what I have been able to achieve with your tactic and yes I played with your set pieces today. How do the set pieces affect or rather improve the tactic in itself any idea?
ZaZ said: I have been testing set pieces, and these got me the best results so far. However, it is pretty hard to test set pieces effectively, so I would appreciate if others could test and share results, and maybe how they compare to other set pieces. Let me know how it worked for you! Expand
@Steelwood Looks like you very right mate
Will your set pieces work with other tactics too?

Can your set pieces be tried with other tactics? Would they be effective?
This is very common happens all the time
Not sure, just plug and play the tactic mate!
Sure, it's also coming.
