Defending corners help needed!

[jefflackey]

I decided to try my hand at developing my own tactics, and started with the 4224 formation that Knap was using, but used the Wizard to then create my own tactics. Still tweaking but it is suddenly developing into some very pretty football with a nice flow and a heavy attacking flavor.

However, one thing that is killing me is defending corners. I am just using the default set, and I have some decent defenders, but it seems the opposition gets 1 - 2 goals per game on me with corners.

Does anyone have a decent corner defense set up?

Thanks

I've found this on a topic. Try:

GK-Default

DR-Go Back

DL-Go Back

DC-Mark Tall Player

DC-Mark Tall Player

MC-Man Mark

MC-Go Back

AMR-Mark Near Post

AML-Mark Far Post

ST-Go Back

ST-Stay Forward

One thing that seems to work ok iis crowding your box since your opponent almost always leaves two or three men at the back. So instructing only one player to stay forward and the other to defend at least gives you a numerical advantage in the box

Personally I like to have all of my players back.

I don't have my fullbacks on the posts, they should be decent markers and pieces of wood don't move much. So I put midfielders/forwards there with the better header on the near post and the fullbacks are set to Man Mark.

I have a forward closing down, if he's a decent header then that helps. Lastly I have my last forward on the edge of the area to try to win the second ball or at the very least stop an opposing player from taking a pot shot.
