Delivery from the corner flag: the technique to strike a consistent ball and the vision to pick the run rather than the crowd.

Scored on corners as the primary attribute, supported by crossing, technique and vision. Every attribute is converted to a percentile of the players who have it recorded in this version, the primary carries 65% of the weighted mean, and the result is then multiplied by a bottleneck factor between 0.55 and 1.00 taken from the weakest supporting attribute, so one glaring weakness cannot be averaged away.

166,539 players have no recorded corners value; at least two thirds of the 4 attributes must be present for a player to be scored at all. The list is capped at 50 and does not paginate.
