Influences the position of your players in corner situations. This setting affects attacking and defending corners.
Normal: this is the default value.

Set your first choice for penalties during the match. This setting does not affect penalty shootouts after a tied knockout match.
You can't set your keeper as penalty taker. If your penalty taker is not on the field, someone else will be automatically selected.
Set your first choice for taking free kicks when there is a scoring chance. You can't select your keeper for this.
Set your first choice for taking corners. The "right" corner taker is the one taking the corners on the right side from the point of view of your team, so it makes sense to select your right midfielder for the right corners and left midfielder for the left corners.
