Are there any links for good corner tactics...?

I don't tend to score many goals from corners, and I am looking for a goal scoring corner tactic. Anyone know anything?
 
Put your best header as attacking the far post and tell your corner taker to aim there, put a tall player marking the goalkeeper and put a player on either post. One of the others should be lurking outside the box, the other three attacking ball from deep. Should have two players back as well.

This is what I do, score 65% of corners.
 
Just set something up that scores a realistic amount. I've seen people end up with Pique their top scorer with Barcelona from corners.... I'd be embarrassed if my DC was my top scorer with any team, never mind Barca!
 
nice one livipunk I'm might try that one out :D

honestly I'm really not bothered who scores the goals if its a def then so be it! ;)
 
or best header to near post and aim there, right taker left leg and vice versa
 
alrighty heres an update on how well you tactic is going. I set it up about 5 games ago & have been thinking just maybe its **** BUT last game I had a awesome break threw (I hadn't scored one goal from 25+ games from set pieces) & suddenly 2 goals from corners with that "best header as attacking the far post". Livipunk your a champ!!. I highly recommend anyone who has read this blog to apply the tactic It will pay off!

basically Livipunk/paetoja are both right on the money where ever your corner taker aims put your best header ;)

the player who scored the 2 headers was... ferdinand A defender :D.

if your best header is a defender then so be it I'm sure the score line wont be worried who scored those goals :P

You must also take into consideration other Attributes when choosing who your best header will be.

Height: Even if your player has 20 heading but is only 179 cm tall hes almost always gunna lose out in the air vs someone taller.

Finishing, jumping and strength and to a lesser extent composure/determination all need to be looked at.
 
there's one i took up from ZeroSea's tactic..which is pretty good for 11.3.. two players back...your best header attacking near post..and everyone else lurking outside area..and obviously supply the ball to near post.its worked pretty well so far...keep in mind the players take a couple of matches to get used to the tactic

and remember that from left corner it should be player with right foot, from right corner obviously player with left foot :)
 
I use "mixed" corner aim with one player coming short (who is good at crossing) 1 on near post, 1 standing on far post, 1 challenging keeper, 2 players back, 2 CB or SBs lurking, and one player (striker with good finishing) going forward.

If the corner is hit to any of the guys on the posts or the keeper, they will have a good chance of hitting a header on target because the striker who is "forward" attracts double or even triple marking leaving some room for the guys along the goalline to score. If the ball doesn't find it's target, sometimes the 'Forward" striker will latch onto the ball and fire it into the net (which is why it's a striker in that role so he doesn't miss the shot)

The 2 defensive players lurking typically keeps them about 25 yards out, giving them room to run back into defensive position to prevent counters, or it lets them use their good heading and strength to knock the ball back into the box. The player who comes short will sometimes receive the corner, drawing 1 or 2 players out of the box and then crossing it in, and sometimes he will dart into the box for a shot. Sometimes when the corner is hit into the penalty area, the player who comes short will be running into the box and can latch onto throughballs for good shooting chances.

I think it's a realistic tactic, it scores occasionally and doesn't exploit. It also takes advantage of not being predictable and is even fun to watch sometimes. If my description wasn't adequate enough I can go over it again.
 
mont you are awesome man really its the highest chance of a corner and common sence witch offers more then just 1 opportunity
