When you obliterate a team for 90 minutes and do everything but score - only for the opposition to go down the other end in the final moments and score a header from a corner, it just goes to show how important set pieces are. They are though, aren't they? You could be the worst player in the world and score from a corner if you used the buttons correctly. So don't ignore them yourself. We're talking everything here - free kicks, corner kicks, penalties - the lot. You will be well served to go in and practice, practice, practice until you get them right. There's a set of options at corners for choosing how to arrange your players in the box, so they are worth having a look into, whilst learning how to take free kicks and penalties is a huge plus once you've mastered it. Run through the skill challenges in order to be best practiced before it starts working against you online.
