What’s your preferred strategy for countering opponents who consistently bring their goalkeeper out just enough to easily catch your corners?
Is it worth practicing curving the ball in, or do you find success in bringing on a second player to pass to?
I’m interested in hearing your strategies for dealing with this tactic.
Update: Thanks a lot for the responses! Keep them coming. It’s enlightening to discover the various techniques to counter this goalkeeper-pulling tactic.
I’ve achieved considerable success in scoring from corners, even when they pull the goalie out. This method relies on the player the game assigns, by default, to stand in the box closest to the penalty spot being a proficient target man.
If your opponent keeps the goalkeeper in place, aim at the penalty spot with 3 bars of power. If the default player mentioned earlier is good at heading (players like RTTK Lewa, TB Kane, and Haaland worked well for me, in that order), it’s genuinely a 50% chance of scoring—I’m not exaggerating. Some games, I manage to score 2-3 goals from corners if they don’t move their goalie, leading me to part two…
If your opponent moves their goalie, first a) trigger a man short using R2 (just a decoy to bring one of their defenders short), then b) use L2 to select your target man. Don’t move him yet. Initially, aim at the penalty spot again but give it only 2 bars of power. Now, move your player down the screen a bit, in line with the near post but a few meters off the line. Once in position (or as you’re moving), press circle to send the ball.
This may sound intricate, but the second method is just as effective at scoring corner goals as the first. I’m not exaggerating when I say I score at least one corner goal per game, although very skilled players can somewhat neutralize the near post method by manually blocking you with their substantial defenders.
