Master These Three Corner Techniques to Score Goals Like a Pro

Today, I'm breaking down the ultimate guide to mastering corners in EA FC 25. At the start of the game cycle, corner kicks were wildly overpowered. Then came a patch, and they lost a bit of punch… but Corners are back, and if you know how to use them, they can turn games in your favor instantly.

In this article, I'll show you three meta corner techniques that are not only effective but can work with any type of squad. Whether you're rocking TOTSSF players or grinding with a budget FUT team, these corners will help you dominate.

Corner 1: The Bicycle Kick Corner

Difficulty: Easy | Consistency: High | Surprise Factor: 10/10

This corner is flashy, fun, and surprisingly consistent. The best part? You don't need a tall target man- this works even with smaller, agile attackers like Morgan Rogers.

How to do it:

1. As soon as you earn the corner, press L1 to select your near-post player.

2. Aim for 2.5 to 3 bars of power.

3. Move your player slightly toward the near post to gain positioning.

4. Hold L2 and press Circle for a bicycle kick shot.

5. Celebrate as the ball hits the back of the net.

Tips:

·It doesn't matter whether you use a left- or right-footed corner taker.

·It can be used from both sides of the pitch.

·Even short players can execute this if timed correctly.

"This is the easiest method of the three- and it just looks insane when it works," Leafy says.

Corner 2: The Near Post Bullet Header

Difficulty: Medium | Consistency: Very High | Power Factor: 9/10

This one's a classic and very effective, especially when the bicycle kick isn't landing. It uses the power of aerial duels and your assignment settings.

How to do it:

1. Go to your team's Set Piece Assignments and assign a strong aerial threat (with Aerial+ PlayStyle) to the near-post role.

2. On the corner, press L1 twice to select your assigned near-post player.

3. Aim for 2.5 to 3 bars of power and sprint directly toward the goal.

4. Time the header green, and just aim to hit the target.

Tips:

·Timing is crucial. You want to head the ball just as your player attacks the near post.

·Works well against opponents who don't manually move their keeper.

"Sometimes it's not even a great header,  but it still goes in. That's how good this one is," Leafy notes.

Corner 3: The Short Corner Player Lock

Difficulty: Hard | Consistency: High (if mastered) | Mind Game Level: Expert

This method is perfect when your opponent starts to read your direct corners. It uses player lock mechanics and quick reactions to trick defenders and keepers.

How to do it:

1. While preparing to take the corner, press R1 to call a short player.

2. Pass short with X.

3. Immediately engage Player Lock by clicking L3 + R3.

4. Switch to the near-post player and sprint toward the box.

5. Cross with X (no need to add power).

6. Finish with a header at the goal.

Why it works:

·Most opponents expect you to reset play with a short corner.

·This rapid switch and cross can completely catch them off guard, especially if they move their keeper, anticipating a direct cross.

"The deception is what makes this deadly. They think you're playing safe, but you're setting up a surprise header."

Final Thoughts: Master the Meta Triangle

By learning these three styles- Bicycle Kick, Near Post Header, and Short Corner Lock- you create an unpredictable corner routine that will keep opponents constantly guessing.

Here's the strategy:

·Start with the Bicycle Kick to shock your opponent.

·Switch to the Near Post Header if they adjust their defense.

·Use the Short Corner Player Lock when they overcommit to defending direct crosses.
