ZaZ said: Thank you! It should work on weak teams. In fact, I tried it with Burnley, and results of this version are presented below, for five different runs.
Goals Scored
Corner: 11, 4, 8, 7, 14
Direct Free Kick: 0, 2, 1, 0, 1
Indirect Free Kick: 5, 5, 7, 5, 3

Goals Conceded
Corner: 4, 5, 5, 5, 3
Direct Free Kick: 1, 0, 0, 2, 0
Indirect Free Kick: 2, 2, 4, 2, 3

As you can see, from around 80 goals per season, ~15 were from set pieces, which is almost 20% of goals. I expect numbers to be even better with teams of higher standing.


Hey ZaZ.

I've tested your set piece 2.0 tactics on some League 1-2 English teams with success, as well as some world class teams with varying success.

It seems strong offensively especially with corners but I think defending corners could be improved. I've tried my best testing this with no luck at the moment. Will playing for set pieces ever be a strong instruction as a part of Autumn or any other top tactic? If set pieces can be improved much from here that is. Cheers.
