Better accuracy

I consider myself quite a set-piece specialist, I use the analogue stick for free-kicks, and I don't resort to all of this circle business. Just experiment with varied direction/power combinations, and you'll get there.
I got a real sense of pride when I scored two free-kicks with Miranda in one game.
The quote hit the nail on the head!
For close free kicks (say anything up to 23m) do the following:
Aim the direction so that it is directly into the corner opposite to that of where the keeper is. (Very near the post)
Push right analogue )R3) forward and hold.
Then hold Square to approx. half way but not over.
Celebrate goal or take corner provided.
For long free kicks (up to approx 31m) do the following:

Aim the direction so that it is directly into the corner opposite to that of where the keeper is. (Very near the post)

Push left analogue (L3) forward and hold.

Then hold Square to approx. half way but not over.

Celebrate goal or take corner provided.
For even further out use the same as above but make sure power bar is increased over the half way mark. It rarely goes in but the keeper becomes terrified at the pace of the shot and will tip it wide or over. Almost a guaranteed free corner.
I do the last one because it is hard to score by chipping a ball into the box expecting someone to head it in.
