Forbidding players from certain positions from taking corners/throw-ins

[Ron Wandle]

Are there players from certain positions that you forbid from taking corners and throw-ins, even if they have good stats for it?

My current thinking is...

Corners:

- no defensive players (no defenders, or defensive midfielders). Maybe the wingbacks when using a back three might be used.

- probably best to have the striker in the middle, but if they are great at corners and not good at heading then they might be used.

Throw-ins:

- only players on that flank. Gets a bit tricky if there are players one uses on both flanks.

- maybe a central midfielder or attacking central midfielder if they had exceptional Throw-in stats

What do you think?

I never use full backs for corners as it leaves inexperienced defenders back if you send up the DCs.  I only use full backs for throw ins.  All takers are specified.

How can you forbid certain players from taking set pieces? I never want my fullbacks taking corners but I don't know how the set this up (other than including all players in the corner taker instructions and having the fullbacks at the bottom of that list).

That sounds good.

One can't technically forbid players, only not assign them.
