    Con - That's depends from the general quality of a player. I 'm staying season so I use a GK for penalties, f-k, c-k but I put a 2* player.
    A 5* GK can be successful or not, as any other 5* player.
    I don't think the animation is cosmetic. If so, according to your theory, even if I had two players sent off, the chances of a player heading in a corner will be the same as if no players are sent off. I find that hard to believe, esp when it becomes very obvious my team starts leaking goals when I had even just one player sent off. So it's not pure animation regarding the number of players on the board.

    Cosmetic, preset scenarios, any way you can call them.
    Why in some corners, the successful ones, my players are in the middle of the box, waiting for the pass to score ?

    Why in some others, almost all my players are out of the box and opponent defenders throw away the ball ?
    Even if I have set high pressing, hard attack and set some forth arrows ?
    because the scenario says that I will not score in that corner.

    I experimented with this myself and I saw that the rate of goals produced from this were about the same and I saw that having my specialists taking those set pieces gave a better chance of producing a goal. The logic is there, having your GK come up so all 10 of your players are available but the game rarely recognizes this advantage in recent updates. I remember when I started playing last year though, it seemed to be the best option as the game would seem to just allow GKers (since they technically dont have a finishing/crossing attribute) to have specialist quality set-pieces. Idk how many times I lost or drew a league game from an opponents' GK rocketing in a free-kick like he was Neymar lol
