Free kick ?

[dragonax]

Hi, I got a player with 20 freekick, 18 technique, 18 decision, but:
-Whenever he takes a close range free kick, it's 99 % he will hit the wall. I wonder if this is a game bug or something
-For long range, he occasionally off target.
-Basically, for every 10 freekicks, he got 1 goal or assist. Is this alright for someone with 20 freekick ? This is ******* me off. I always thought 20 freekick mean you hit the target 70-80% of the time regardless of distance, and it's funny short range freekicks are much harder to take than long ones.

yeah, if they're free-kicks just outside the box, most of my best free-kick takers miss it too. What I would suggest is have a left-footed player taking free-kicks on the left side and a right-footed player on the right. Because they will tend to curl the free-kick around the wall rather than try and hit it over the wall. I've scored tons of goals this way.

I seriously recommend Gylfi Sigurdsson if you want a free kick specialist. I have him in my Arsenal team original patch and he scores 1 of about every 3-4 free kicks. Awesome long shots as well.

In FM11, Van Der Vaart was the best for me
