Default Set Pieces

I'm not scoring much from any corners or free kicks. I'm playing Liverpool with a very decent team but for some reason I haven't scored yet. I have a good coach , Moniz, training set pieces. Any advice, do you set specific instructions to players?

Try leaving fullbacks to defend (1 stayback 1 if neeeded) 1 player (good headers) near post 1 player (good long shots) lurking outside area and rest stand on far post. Tweak taker and settings to find combination that picks out your "lurker" as often as possible.

Corners:

Put your best heading DC to challenge the GK, while the best heading striker stays at near post and the second one at far post.
The guy(s) with longshots stay outside area.

Free kicks:

Best left leg free kick taker is asigned to execute the right fk and the right leg one the left.
Second best free kick taker asigend to stand by the taker. They may decide to play a little scheme and confuse the opposing defence.
Tallest striker challenges the GK, while the best headers in the team are all forward.
Shortest midfielder disrupts the wall and the longshot guy back if needed.

Works very well with corners and pretty well with free kicks. Good luck.

Set your best player in the air to attack the near post during corners and you'll find your corner goals will increase, the last few season's of me doing this has led me to top the most goals from corners in the league, with most of them coimg from my CB's (on average between 10-15 goals scored from corners).
