Set Piece Mastery: Corners & Free Kicks

Set pieces win matches in eFootball 2025. Here's how to score from corners and free kicks consistently.

Corner Kick Strategies

Type	Kick Taker	Aim	Success Rate
Near post flick	High curl (90+)	Near post (3 bars)	35%
Far post header	High curl (90+)	Far post (2.5 bars)	25%
Short corner	Any	Pass to edge of box	40% (set up shot)
Driven near post	Low curl	Near post (4 bars driven)	30%

Free Kick Techniques

Close range (18-22 yards):

• Knuckleball: R1 + O (minimal spin, unpredictable path)
• Curled: L1 + O with curl aim (goes over wall)
• Power: O only (low trajectory, under wall if opponent jumps)

Long range (23-30 yards):

• MUST use L1 + O (dipped curler)
• Aim 2-3 player lengths outside the post
• Power: 70-80% of the bar

Corner Kick Routine
1. Check opponent's GK positioning
2. If GK is at near post: aim far post, 2.5 bars, driven
3. If GK is at far post: aim near post, 3 bars, normal
4. If GK is central: short corner to edge of box
5. Always have 1 player on the edge for the rebound

Training tip: Go to Practice Mode > Set Pieces. Take 20 corners and 20 free kicks daily. Record your success rate. After 1 week of this practice, you will score 1 in 3 corners and 1 in 4 free kicks -- compared to 1 in 10 for untrained players. In tight Division 1 games, set pieces are often the ONLY way to break down a parked bus defense.
