FIFA Mobile 2025 Set Piece Guide: Penalties, Free Kicks & Corners Mastered

Before diving into the details, you should know that every set piece can become a goal if you practise the composure ring on penalties, pick Deadball+ specialists, and use inside-foot curl variations on free kicks. Also, assign proper takers and target headers for corners, then drill these routines in Training or Skill Games till they feel natural.

Mastering Penalties

Penalties is the highest-percentage set piece, pitting you one-on-one with the keeper. Focus first on the composure ring—which contracts and expands around the ball—and shoot when it’s smallest for best precision. You aim with the left stick toward a corner (top-left and top-right work best), then hold shoot for about two bars of power. Sometimes a green timed finish helps if you tap shoot again just before contact; it boosts power and accuracy and makes the keeper’s life harder.

Mastering Free Kicks

Choosing right taker is vital—use a player with the Deadball+ playstyle and high curve and power stats. There is a predicted trajectory marker off the ball to set up an inside-foot curl; on left-side kicks with a left-footer, you should aim toward the far post with about three bars of power. If your player is right-footed in same spot, flip the marker toward opposite post and mirror the power. Practice swipe control, aiming, curve, and power until you can bend shots around or over the wall—the timing of fast versus slow swipes is the key. And don’t forget, a green timed finish here makes the shot dip and swerve crazy, almost unblockable.

Mastering Corners

Assign a left-footer to right-side corners and right-footer to left-side corners, then set your best header as the target. Using an inside-foot curl, aim at the penalty-spot area with three bars of power to put the ball right in your target’s path. Manually aim the header toward center of the goal and time jump right for best accuracy.

 

Practice and Strategy

Lock these techniques in by running drills in Training mode—focus on Short Free-Kick and Penalty exercises until you reach about 75% success. Then simulate match pressure with Skill Games or Kick-Off sessions so you can execute under H2H and VSA conditions. By breaking down each set piece into clear routines and practising relentlessly, you will become a dead-ball specialist and gain a decisive edge in every FIFA Mobile match.
