Become A Set Piece God
Рет қаралды 217,468
Күн бұрынAh, it’s that time of year. I have played the game enough to get y’all some free goals on set pieces in Football Manager 2021. This set piece guide covers attacking and defending corners, throw ins, and free kicks. It will simply help you score more goals in FM than you do right now, which is basically what we’re here for if nothing else. Helping you win, what’s better than that. Well, win Football Manager matches, I dunno if I can help get you that raise at work. But, I can try.
The set piece guide has been put together through tinkering on my own twitch save and talking to leading tactics makers about what they’ve seen that works in FM21. The engine underlying the matches themselves has changed so much that there were bound to be big adjustments to FM set pieces, even if the way they’re set up in football manager just hasn’t changed much. It needed a little time for us to figure out these differences to the football manager match engine, but I’m confident we have the answers we were looking for.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

I remember few FMs ago there was a brilliant corner trick, where you put all players on near post except one - with best long shots - who waited in front of penalty area. For some reason game AI completely ignored that lurking guy and if he had long shots at least ~13-14 you got yourself a top scorer :)

I set up defending corners and throw ins leaving three players up top for the counter (both wingers wide open and my fastest striker down the middle, playing a 442 diamond wide). I have better than average headers, including one of my strikers, and my attacking midfielder will be on the edge of the box to collect rebounds and get the ball forward. I have received very few goals from corners (none from throw ins, I don't thing the AI do long throws very often) and I've scored a ton on the break, as the opposite teams usually leave two at the back.

I'm using these set piece tactics in FM21, in 1st season during pre-season i trained my team fully to my tactic, i also trained Corners everyday. I played 4 league matches,i'm using ''only critical chances'' setting for match engine, i used approximately 7-8 critical corners in these 4 matches, ZERO goal. I did exactly what you did in attacking corners (best header standing near post, second best header attacking near post etc.). Let's see what will happen in future matches...

@rodrigomonteiro3611 3 жыл бұрын
I can't stress this enough, but you don't need 2 people at the back. Just try this out: if your corner is on the right side, leave the left full back with no instructions. He will lurk outside the corner of the box and catch any clearance because the ball normally drops on the opposite side of were the corner is taken. And he will have enough space to either cross again, shoot, or build up the play patiently. You really need to try this out!!!
@adking18 2 жыл бұрын
I have a question on this. Do your set piece takers have freedom to just ignore your instructions and aim elsewhere? Or if it's going into the middle rather than near post is that because your corner taker is just rubbish at corners? Reason I ask (rather predictably) is I've tried something similar to this in the National League North and regularly seeing corners going into the middle of the box rather than the near post.
@Cwattyeso 3 жыл бұрын
Should save the Setpiece Routines and upload them for us poor plebs to download and use. I also still think for things like setpiece routines a big improvement SI could make to the game would be instead of using pitch positions is to allow us to specify players. Sure in Zealand's Corner tactic he has is DCL attacking the near post, because he says this is the Best Aerial Player. However what happens when that player is not being played in that position because squad rotation or lineup changes? You have to manually remember to go in and set the player's new position to fill that spot, so if for example he's playing in a match today as a DM, you need to change your tactic and put the DM on the attacking near post position. I think you should be able to fill positions at set pieces with a list like you do with throw ins, free kicks and corner takers, where you just drag players onto a position, and if they are on the pitch that is the position they will take up at the set pieces. This would let you correctly assign the correct players to the right places in the routines completely regardless of what position they are playing on that day.

I'd been setting my corners and throws the same way, except I wasn't having my guys lurk near post, this was the exact plan I had but the attacking instructions the game provides are very misleading. On am unrelated note, if I go on holiday I win way more than when I actually manage the team, I always make my assistant use the same tactic and lineup, but when I actually play I always lose. Should I be tinkering more in-game? Could my shout usage be losing game? Any advice?

My Fiorentina save is kinda nightmarish right now. One of the club’s cultural expectations is “making the most of set pieces” and I haven’t scored a single set piece goal all season, despite having crazy aerial ability in the squad. Turns out I haven’t set anybody to lurk at near post. I thought they just kind of stood there. So my donnie attacking the near post was all alone out there. I feel so bad for him. I let the lads down. I’m sorry. I don’t deserve to manage at this level.

This is an absolute game changer. I'm managing Chelsea and I decided I needed a star CB so of course I went for De Ligt. But even with great set piece takers on my team, it's March and he hasn't scored. First game after watching this video, Fati scores the winner directly off a long throw in the get forward role. Next game, De Ligt scores from a long throw and two corners. Hakimi's long throw deflects back to him allowing a pin point cross for the assist. Another long throw draws a penalty as Abraham gets pushed in the box. I win 6-0, with 5 goals coming at least partially from set pieces. I'm legitimately in awe of how effective this tactic was immediately. You're the man Zealand
