Welcome to a new tutorial for EA FC 24 players, and this time is about the corner kicks! I will provide with you 5 ways to score your corners. You can learn how to approach them in different ways and how we need to do it like a pro. I’ve got you covered with 5 ways to score from a corner kick. So let’s get right into it.

Players & Playstyles

Firstly, you need to pick a player who has the Aerial Playstyle Plus to head the ball. For example, players like Holland, Lukon, Zurlo that are all suitable for corner kicks. And if possible, if you’ve got 2 in a team, you want to take with players with Dead Ball Playstyle Plus. But the Dead Ball Playstyle can also help in the accuracy of the corner. Boosting the abilities of your corner players in EA FC 24 is crucial, and you can achieve this by investing in EA FC 24 Coins.

Direct Corner

The first situation involves using a player, ideally right-footed on the right side or left-footed on the left side. The principle remains consistent. We direct the kick all the way to the right with about 3 and a half bars of power, almost reaching maximum power, but not quite. If your opponent's Goalkeeper remains stationary, you're practically guaranteed a goal. Aiming manually isn't too challenging from a 5-yard starting position.

In another case, we utilize a right-footed player on the left or a left-footed player on the right. Similar to the previous method, our opponent does not move their Goalkeeper. Therefore, we aim the corner kick around the penalty spot, employing nearly the same power as before. This prevents the ball from reaching the back post entirely. With the advantage of an Aerial Plus, the designated player secures a win header.

Now, in the final situation. We aim to target the second post, utilizing a right-footed player on the left and a left-footed player on the right. This time, by positioning the right stick all the way down to the right, we generate an inside curve for the ball.

Next, we direct the ball slightly further, aiming between the penalty spot and the 20-yard box. It's crucial to apply considerable power once again, nearly reaching full power. Initiating the run towards the first post, and then swiftly transition towards the far post, the second post, positioning ourselves for a potential header.

Short Variant

Now, let’s discuss the short variant of corner kicks. It’s essential to designate a player for short. You can do this even before the corner kick animation by repeatedly pressing R1. Alternatively, you can call the player with R1 after initiating the corner kick.

Now comes the tricky part: utilizing Player Lock. This mechanic requires precision and practice, making it a more advanced corner strategy. To engage Player Lock, simultaneously press L3 and R3, then use the right stick to select the desired player.

In this case, we aim for the player positioned at the back post. We then attempt to make a run towards the back post and press square to deliver a cross to him. Ideally, this maneuver results in a free header at the back post. While having a player proficient in the aerial duels is advantageous, this tactic can be executed with any player on the team.

Strategic Deception

In more intricate scenarios, opponents tend to adjust their Goalkeeper positioning, nullifying the effectiveness of the initial 2 methods. We will deliver the corner kick, presumably endowed with strong Dead Ball skills, although this is unverified. The setup involves a right-footed player on the left side and a left-footed player on the right side.

Noticing the Goalkeeper movement, we face a decision: target the second post or the first post. Opting for the latter, we employ a Strategic Deception. Initially, feigning a run towards the second post confuses the opponent, complicating their marking. Then, swiftly altering course, we advance towards the first post.

The corner kick is directed around the penalty spot, akin to the initial variant, subject to the player's technique. Experimentation is key to determining the optimal power level for your corner kick taker. Executing a decisive run towards the first post capitalizes on the Goalkeeper's displaced position, often resulting in a goal, particularly in the absence of a Goalkeeper guarding the net.
