torehj Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just a simple question: How do I cover Chamberlain in these free kick situations? This happens a lot on this game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbo88 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I recently made a topic about this exact thing. Happens all the time and I can’t find anyway of marking that player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksi92 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Its a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herne79 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You can try leaving a man on the edge of the area, but not an awful lot you can do. However, if it happens in favour of the AI then it can also happen in your favour as well. Small consolation perhaps when you see the AI score against you but it should even out. So even if it is a bug the bug will work in both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if it is a bug the bug will work in both ways. Leaving a man at det edge of the area would be a good idea, but it is not possible on defensive free kicks. They can stay in the box, in the wall or in attack. In attack: Would this be the option of "staying with taker" or "stay back if needed"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t scored this way ever, but have conceded probably 6 or 7 times Very frustrating - as soon as you see a replay come up with a free kick wide out and that man free on the edge of the area you know exactly what’s going to happen but can’t stop it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbo88 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It’s actually doubly frustrating for me as in FM17 I was desperate to have different free kick options (had a CB with a great free kick rating but obviously didn’t want him taking free kicks wide on the touch line). Now they have introduced it and I can’t stop conceding from them!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandersson Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Have you tried leaving more players forward to force opponents to keep more players back? I agree the situation seen in your screenshot is an issue and something I also encounter occasionally, but usually my players manage to close down that lurker and if they do then it's most likely a clean chance for us on the break (a consistent source of goals for me atm).
