Corner kick | Set pieces FIFA 16 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Classic corner kick

This is the most common way to play corner kick, which does not require too much technique of you - it is only necessary to indicate the direction and the force at which the ball is to be played. To perform a standard corner kick, press the cross button. A good way to perform this set piece is to play the ball near the penalty area. Usually, there is a free player there, who may take a direct, strong shot into the goal. Also, try not to center the ball towards the fifth meter in front of the goal - you can be sure that the ball will then be seized by the goalie.

Low corner kick

Low corner kick comes in handy if it leads to playing the ball into the short corner of the goal, where, with a dynamic kick, you can surprise the goalie. To perform low corner kick, double-press cross button.

Corner kick over the surface

You perform corner kick over the surface when you are sure that the player that you want to pass the ball to is standing in a straight line to the pass - only then, does performing this technique make sense. To perform corner kick over the surface, triple-tap the cross button.

Change the player to perform the corner kick

To change the player, simply press R2 (RT, Shift) and select the player from the list that pops up.

Switch to the receiver

A very interesting option is one to switch to the player in the penalty area. Thanks to this, you can outwit the opponent's defenders and head out to a clear situation in an easy way, which provides you with a wide variety of options of finishing the action. To switch to one of the players within the penalty area, press the right analog stick. After that, you need to command the corner kicker to play the ball to you.
