Seriously in 3 games i have conceded about 7 goals from Corners, it's ridiculous how unmarked the opponent players are, they can head the ball freely.

Edit: Unsurprisingly the next game after those 3 i concede ANOTHER goal from set pieces (And i'm 10 minutes in)

One player on Zonal Mark 6 yard box (good in the air)

Two CB's mark tall player

FB's on either post

Playmaker edge of the area

ST stay forward

All the rest go back
 
2-3 men(best marking, jumping and heading) mark tall

1 man(worst marking, jumping and heading but quickest) forward

1 man(2nd worst marking, jumping and heading) on the edge

the rest of the players to zonally mark 6 yards box
 
have 2 people on posts - and one player closing down the corner - one player staying forward.
The rest on zonally mark 6 yard box, or if you have 2 really strong in the air players, have them mark tall players.
 
get 2 worst marking in the posts.
put 2 CBs marking tallest guys
one outside the box
1 attack
the rest zonal.

Since this i've suffered 2 goals from corners in 20 games
 
Are you conceding to low corners at the near post by any chance?

i was conceding from every kind of corner. but since i've been using that first proposed set-up i've not conceding goals from corners at all (very few goals)
