How to unlock the Fling yourself at it achievement in FIFA 09 - Definitive Guide

I found the best way to get this achievement is to play as Portsmouth and to make sure your playing with Crouch up front.

Make a run down the wing and keep going until your just inside the penalty area. Then double tap X for a quick cross then hold B. If it falls for Crouch then I found there is a good chance he'll dive for it. It's difficult but just keep trying.

Other teams I found that are useful for this achievement -

Arsenal with Adebayor up front
Everton with Fellani up front

great guide. very difficult achievement though! took me so many attemps, but finally got it with Adebayor crossing to Arshavin lol, so I guess its more on the cross and player positioning than the actual player

I don't get what your doing but I must of spent the last 4 hours just doing crosses, got an attempted bike kick.. tried Chelsea with Drogba up front center, I get far more headers, but only Ballack has done a diving header in 3 games, though Drogba got me the bike kick... how exactly do you get team members to get into the box & actually try to be somewhere useful?

If you have two controllers there's a real easy way to do it.

Set up a game between P1 & P2. I went Portsmouth with Crouch but that was only because of the suggested other solutions and I ended up having problems doing it.

Set P2s tactics so that they have no defenders, or only one LB. Put the rest up front or in midfield.

On kickoff, thump the ball to P2s goalkeeper. There'll be no defenders around.

Take Crouch or whomever and put them in the middle of the box just outside the penalty area. Take the P2 keeper and move them out to almost the edge of the box.

Have the P2 keeper turn around and cross it into the box. Now with no-one around you just have to time it right to do the diving header. You can also try the tap x twice method but I didn't - I just crossed it in with X, let the ball go over me and then held down B to dive header it in.

I tried this method for half an hour or so without any success so i gave up and decided to try to pop The Kwong (score a headed goal with the shortest created player) instead. The very first try using this method to go for that with my 5'3" striker he put it in with a diving header and i got a "2 for 30G" pop up for both achievements

i got it 1st time with solution i found where..

Firstly, set game difficultly to amateur.

Then, pick Portsmouth as your team (make sure Peter Crouch is up front) in kick off mode and play a team like Accrinton Stanley.

Then in the match run up really close to the keeper and tap the X button, and as a Crouch arrives hold RB and tap B two times. ( i crossed wide from the wing )

He may dive or stand and it will take a while to master, but this how I did my achievement.

Sorry i can't good english but if can anyone translate my massage than pls make it!
Now for all German people:

Der Tipp von MEGATRON2507 war gut aber für Leute wie mich, die immer nur Pech haben, hab ich mir was Geniales einfallen lassen um mein Glück auf die Sprünge zu helfen! ^^
Ich habe seine Tipps mit meiner Idee Kombiniert.

Auf Grund dass ich mehrere Matches gebraucht habe, hab ich meine Favoritenmannschaft (AC MILAN) etwas aufgepimpt.
Mit folgender Besetzung hab ich AC MILAN ins rennen geschickt:


Iker Casillas (Real Madrid)
Javier Zanetti (K.A.)
Lucio (Bayern München)
A. Nesta (AC MILAN)
Phillip Lahm (Bayern München)
Carles Puyol (K.A.)
Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
Frank Ribery (Bayern München)
Adebayor (Arsenal)
Fellani (Everton
Crouch (Portsmouth)

Formation: 5 - 4 - 1

Diese Spieler könnt ihr unter Team-Management - “Transfers” – “Vereintransfers”
Eurem Favorit Verein zuordnen. (ihr könnt mit Y auch die Spieler Detaliert suchen im Wertbereich von 85 bis 95)

Adebayor, Fellani und Crouch sind auch im richtigem leben dafür bekannt solche „komischen“ Flugkopfballtore zu machen und deswegen hab ich diese in den Sturm bzw. ins offensive Mittelfeld gesetzt.
Ich hab jede Formation ausprobiert und nur bei der 5-4-1 sind alle 3 irgendwie im Strafraum wenn ich reinflanke. Nicht wundern: meist werdet ihr mit einem der drei genannten auf dem Flügel laufen und reinflanken.
Zum Flanken: rennt immer erst aus eurer eigenen Hälfte am Spielfeldrand Richtung gegnerisches Tor aber am 16ner Raum angekommen, solltet ihr nicht mehr RT zum rennen halten sondern nur noch so weiter rennen und möglichst auf der Linie des 16ners Langlaufen und wenn ihr auf Höhe des 5m Raumes seit, flankt rein mit zwei mal X schnell und kurz drücken und dann sofort B gedrückt halten. (Drückt ihr erst später B dann köpfen deine Stürmer nur normal oder schießen nur).

Jetzt kommen wir zum lustigstem Teil meines Tipps ^^

Nun müsst ihr eine gegnerische Mannschaft auf euren jetzigen Still „zurechtbauen“ ^^

Dazu geht ins Menü – Kreative Zone und erstellt euch 11 Zwerge…..Ja, richtig gelesen ^^
Benennt jedem Spieler mit Vor und Zunamen z.B. 111 und 111 (so hab ich den TW genannt)
Dann halt 222 und 222 usw. bis Ihr 11 Leute habt. Schraubt JEDEN neuen erstellten Spieler auf eine Größe von 1,50m und bei den Erfahrungspunkten schraubt JEDEN Wert auf 10 runter. Dann speichert JEDEN Spieler bei „Verein“ in „Freie Spieler“.
Habt ihr alles richtig gemacht dann geht im Menü auf „Transfers“, sucht dort das Team „Freie Spieler“ und packt JEDEN der 11 neuen Spieler in ein Team welches nur ein halben oder 1 ganzen Stern hat. (damit ihr wisst wer Transferiert werden soll, seht ihr nun an den Namen 111 und 777 usw). ist das alles erledigt, müsst ihr nur noch im Menü – Team-Management dieses gegnerische Team so Managen das alle 11 Zwerge in der Startaufstellung sind. Gebt als Formation etwas Offensives ein, so dass ihr in deren Abwehr nicht so viel Widerstand habt. Das bewirkt das nur noch Zwerge gegen eure Riesen Spielen und diese sind dank der 10ner Werte richtig Schlecht und können kaum was mit dem Ball anfangen ^^

Nu, sollte mal ein Flugkopfball gelingen, so ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit erheblich höher das ihr 1. das Kopfballduell gewinnt
2. kaum Gegenspieler anköpft (was ärgerlich ist, weil es ja nicht immer zu einen Flugkopfball kommt)
3. der TW ist zu klein und zu dumm denn Kopfball zu halten ^^

Ich hab den Erfolg in Verbindung mit den 50std Spielzeit und dem Stadionerfolg gemacht aber nach nur 1 Std. hat es endlich mal geklappt…..durch eine Ecke ^^ Crounch hat einfach über denn Zwergentorwart drüber geköpft = war unhaltbar für ihn :D
Hab danach J4fun weiter reingeflankt und mir sind dann 3 oder 4 weitere Flugkoptballtore gelungen. (nicht im selben Match aber so hin und wieder mal als ich in jeden Stadion gespielt hatte)

Ich hoffe dieser Tipp von mir hilft euch falls ihr auch nicht gerade zu den Glückspilzen wie mich gehört. Gebt nicht auf, macht Stur nur Flanken….irgendwann klappt das schon!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ayron

Firstly I changed the controls on everything to semi-auto (I'm used to the PES controls so I adjusted my controller to the alternative PES-button mapping)

My method is to select a team that has pace on the wings - unlike in real life, Walcott at Arsenal seems to be remarkably good! Select Arsenal and re-jig the formation to that Adebayor is up front by himself and everyone else is behind him (default - Van Persie is set as a second/withdrawn striker, so manually move him back to just above the central midfield spot). Change Rosicky to Walcott and then play an exhibition match against Accrington or any other half-star team - set the game to 20 min halves. Get the ball out to Walcott and tear down the right flank; I got to the by-line and then positioned walcott facing forward across the face of the goal. Press the normal cross button once and then press/hold the shoot button for Adebayor to dive at a weird angle to divert the ball into the net, it looks strange, but once the ball goes in the achievement should pop.

One of the hardest and most frustrating achievements I've had yet. However it is doable!

What I did was stick Peter Crouch from Portsmouth in to the Manchester United team as the main forward. He will be the guy you feed all the balls too. (He was the only guy who dived for headers for me)

Now edit the Accrington (England Coca Cola League 2) team so that there formation is all in attack, you'll have to individually move each unit's base position but it won't take too long.

Now your set. Go in to the game and play the ball to your goalie, wait for Accrington to get in to their attacking positions and then just pass and sprint your way down the wings.

When you reach the halfway line, have Crouch begin his run to the goal by pressing LB. Move closer the side of the box and whip a cross in when he's around the penalty spot. You can use both a normal cross (Tap X) or a quick cross (Double tap X). He should have a free opportunity to score, hopefully a diving one.

It took me 15 games overall to get this achievement but only 2 games on this set up. Hope this helps - any questions give me a message.

This is a hard trophy. Once again like other trophies there is no particular way to guarantee a diving header everytime. A popular way of getting a diving header is to run down the wing with one of your players, when he gets near to the end quickly hold & double tap . This should put in a hard and low cross which is the perfect height for a striker or midfielder to go for a diving header. When the ball comes near your striker double tap circle and fingers crossed he will perform a diving header.

I got this trophy by crossing a ball normally to my strikers, so there is no particular way to get this and it should come over time.

For this, pick Chelsea as your team (if you want is a.s.a.p) as Drogba is the player who does diving headers the most on the game. Try to play against a rubbish team, like Aldershot or Barnet (Both Coca-cola league 2).

I've been told that the best way to get this achievement is to give you're opponent a corner, then, once the corner has been taken, win the ball and fast break (Basically give it to one of your wingers and leg it). Once to get to around the edge of the penalty area, double tap to cross the ball, and double tap to do a diving header. If you successfully perform a diving header, the player will land on his chest. Once it goes in, achievement unlocked.
