FIFA 22's Best Corner-Kick Tactic

In football, both in real life and in the game, corners can make the difference in tight matches. This is especially true in FIFA 22. A well-executed corner can put you ahead in the opening minutes, cut the gap during the match, or even win it in the final minute. So how should we use corners? What are the best corner-taking tactics for the latest FIFA 22 patch? Let's share them with you without dragging it out too much!

How Do You Take a Corner?

When taking a corner in FIFA 22, we have two options: crossing straight into the box or starting with a short pass. To cross straight into the box, if we're playing on classic controls we can press the square button (X on Xbox, A on PC), while starting with a short pass requires pressing the X button (A on Xbox, S on PC).

At the same time, while crossing into the box, we can use the L1 button (LB on Xbox, Q on PC) to switch to the man inside the box and take control of him. Switching to players with high physicality and good heading and adjusting their position before crossing is another method.

In the advanced tactics settings, we can adjust how many of our players come up for the corner. Many esports pros keep the corner bar at just 1 to avoid getting caught out on the counterattack, but that's entirely up to you. In general, we recommend setting the advanced tactics to 3 bars or fewer so you don't get caught too short at the back.

What's the Best Corner Tactic?

The easiest corner tactic to score from in FIFA changes every year, but the best corner tactic for 2022 is quite simple and almost feels like cheating. Let's walk through its steps together with screenshots.

1. Call a man to the side with L1
2. Pass to the man we called with X
3. First-touch pass with X from that man to the player at the arc
4. Cross into the box with the player at the arc
5. Get a scoring chance with our unmarked player

• Calling a Man to the Side with L1 and Passing to Him with X

Honestly, this step is quite simple. After the corner animation starts, we press L1 to call a player from inside the box toward us. Then, just as shown in the screenshot, we pass to him as he approaches.

• First-Touch Passing to the Player at the Arc with X

Timing this well is what makes our tactic pay off. As soon as the ball reaches us, we find our player waiting at the arc with a clean pass.

• Crossing into the Box from the Arc and Getting a Scoring Chance

This is the step where our tactic pays off. Honestly, in this almost cheat-like corner tactic, once we cross into the box, several of our players will be waiting there. Turning that position into a goal with a pass or a shot is entirely up to you from there.

In this article, we tried to walk you through the most effective corner tactic in FIFA 22. You can watch the full video we took these screenshots from at this link, and you can keep following us for more articles like this one!
