Set plays are always evolving and Karim El-Shesheiny investigates the varied roles of defenders on the post at corners.

ICYMI yesterday, it was a busy one - we started in Australia - Alexandra Hunt explained the tactics behind Melbourne Victory's A-League title push.

Then it was Germany where Jack Chippendale looked at how Ian Maatsen is doing in Dortmund - could he still have a Chelsea future?

Portugal was next - where Marcel Seifeddine broke down Gil Vicente's set-piece variations.

Then a bit of Champions League for you - Luis Kircher analysed how Lazio piled more pressure on Tuchel (even before Bochum beat Bayern).

Back to Australia! Anantaajith Raghuraman had a team analysis of Macarthur - rejuvenated under Mile Stervojski.

Coach Scott Martin talked rest attack - a tactical guide with principles, examples and analysis.

From the archives, Fintan O'Reilly has found:

Pedro Goncalves scored in Sporting CP’s Primeira Liga clash with Moreirense last night — read all about how he became a leading figure for the Portuguese side.

After scoring Everton’s equaliser versus Crystal Palace last night, reread our 2021 scout report highlighting Amadou Onana — then a teenager at Lille.

Jean-Louis Gasset is the new Marseille boss. Back in 2020/21, he got Hatem Ben Arfa back to his best; can he work some magic with an underwhelming Marseille side?

Promising striker Jovan Mijatović has joined CFG’s New York City from Crvena Zvezda. We told you to keep an eye on him along with four other under-the-radar talents from Eastern Europe this time last year.
