    Do you have players to cover the posts when defending corners ?

    Unless you have tweaked your tactic for defending corners, players should - by default - go on the goulmouth with the remaining 6 - 8 marking the opposing side.

    Also, unless you concede in every single match buckets and buckets of goals from corners, I don't think you can totally eradicate goals from corners - after all, I'm sure you score your fair share too :confused:

    Basically all I can suggest to you is to look at your defenders stats, height, jumping, off the ball, positioning etc and see if they are actually good, I reckon anything 10+ in the Irish division would be reasonable, anything less and you should be on the lookout for some cheap knock offs from the Conference in England...
