How do you decide which players will come up for corners?

I know how to select which defenders will join the attack for set pieces, but what about the other players? For example, I have one very short midfielder... How do I tell him to never join the attack? Furthermore, it seems like my two strikers, who are good headers of the ball are not in on the attacks, so how do I tell them to stay up there?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

There seems to be no "real" way of doing it, but there is a workaround you can do:
When you see where your players are standing go to the strategies and create a strategy where the players have different positions on the field. When you active it at a corner kick you will see players moving to other positions.

Defensive midfielders and at least one of the full backs never go up for corners. If you want to limit the chance of being hit on the counter attack change a player to a defensive midfielder during the set piece. Also, players with defensive bias don't go up for set pieces. Balanced and (obviously) Offensive do.

Thanks. I had thought of making a "plan b formation" and assigning it to a strategy but I thought it didn't work. I'll try it again, maybe it just seemed like it wasn't working for some reason.
