Understanding set pieces is one of the main priority's to score many goals in FIFA 10. Below we want to explain set pieces. The first one in this serie is Corner kicks.

Corner kicks

There are two terms that you need to understand: Inswinging kick, the ball bends or curves towards the goal. Outswinging kick, the ball bends or curves away from the goal.

Lob Cross

PS3: Square button / Xbox 360:  x-button

50% of the powermeter
front post area,

70% of the powermeter
back post area

Tips: Aim as close to the goal line as possible, then it an outswinging corner with tonnes of spin on it. The keeper will freeze at his line as the ball drops into the danger area.

Low cross

PS3: Double tap Square button / Xbox 360:  Double tap x-button

For a change of pace,try firing off a low cross. This type off cross wil be driven low with pace and can be whipped in across the face of the goal. If you don't have a good angle for a shot, use the pass button to click the ball to another teammate.

Tips: Very usefull when played to the front post area as they will not clear too many players due to their lower trajectory.

Ground cross

PS3: Triple tap Square button / Xbox 360:  Triple tap x-button

The ground cross does pretty much the same as a ground pass. You just have to be the first at the ball afterwards you can shoot or pass.

Short corner / call player

PS3: L2 button to call, x button to pass / Xbox 360:  LT button to call,  A button to pass

This is an effective way to kill time. Work a one-two pass with your kick taker and the receiver of the initial pass. You can get your cross in from a different angle by just making a pass a few yards further away from the goalline and then crossing it right away.
