Lack of goals directly from free-kicks?


Recommended Posts

Hello, firstly just want to say loving the game.

Secondly, is it just me or can players no longer score directly from free-kicks? I'm in January of my third season (one season in the Championship then two in the Premier League) and have yet to see a single goal scored shot from a free-kick for or against me. They all either go over, wide or the goalkeeper comfortably saves it. Thoughts? I am playing Classic btw...not that it should make any difference since it uses the same match engine.

I actually see it a lot. And they're usually ridiculous goals. Every one the same, the player hits a shot that aims straight down the middle, it gets over the wall by a mile, then has amazing drop on it and the keeper basically just stands their and it goes in inches above their head under the bar. (playing in the BSP)

FM12 was the same, never any freekick goals, i doubt anything gonna change in this version

Well this is complete nonsense. :D

Anyway first things first, there aren't that many goals scored from direct freekicks in real life.

Secondly, on FM13 my leftback has scored three direct freekicks by January of the first season, and his freekick attribute isn't very good, (10 i think). So yes, they do happen.

Zactly.

Pretty sure in another thread a user posted IRL free-kick stats, showing that even those regarded as 'top' free kick takers score 5-7 a season.

Liam Craig has scored 3 for me this season, they do exist.

Liam Craig also scores them against me all the time! Him and bloody Callum Murray are brilliant from outside the box against my team!!

I have Johnny Hayes bagging 4/5 free kicks a season, and Ian Virgurs pops up with a few as well, id say i score about 5/6 a season.

I picked the one with highest free kick taking and long shots first and rarely scored any dfk goals, were always in the bottom in the premier league stats. Hes stats were free kick taking 17 long shots 15 composure 15 and technique 14.

This season picked my free kick takers a bit different and putted more weight in the technique and have scored second most goals from dfk in premier league.

My main one have now 15 free kick taking, 14 long shots, 15 composure and 20 technique.

So try putting more weight on technique and see if it gets better.
