Can't get desired corner tactics...

Been playing FM2010 with 10.3 patch for some time now. I've noticed that, with default corner tactics, the attacking side always leaves a centre-back in the closer corner of the box. Most dangerous corners I've seen are taken by passing to the feet of that player. The player then has a lot of space to shot on goal. The problem with this is that centre-backs don't do well when controlling the ball in opposing team's box, so they often shoot badly or get charged down by an opposing player before they can make a shot, but in large number of cases this situation results in a goal. In fact, I've seen overwhelmingly more corner goals from situations like this than from headers.

Now, I've tried to use the corner tactics settings to put another kind of player in this position which is taken by a centre-back by default, a player who would do much better in such situation, but I can't seem to find the correct setting. "Attack Ball from the Deep" will put the player on roughly the same distance from the goal as required, but he will stand in the middle of the box. "Lurk Outside Area" will put the player too far outside the area to be dangerous. Anyone know what setting I should use to achieve what I want? I can try to post screenshots if my description is not clear enough.
 
I think that's actually the AIs version of the corner bug.

If you set up everything right and let the player with the best long shot attribute take those shots he will score around 30 goals per season alone from corners.

You need to set up 6 of your field players to stay very close to the goal and 2 players to lurk outside area and the last two players get the stay back option.

One of the players you set to "Lurk Outside" will be the one who is taking the corner and the other one is the player you want to take the shot.

The corner setting needs to be set to "Penalty Area".

But be warned the game gets boring very fast if you play with that corner bug.
 
I'we noticed that to, so changed the default setting for the CD from Atack near post to chalange keeper, and put Attack the near post to a striker. They are better finishers and if they dont get a chance to shoot they pass it to the corner taker or they try a cross them selves
