Best set-pieces and penalty takers for World Cup Fantasy semi-finals

866 Comments

We are down to just four teams left at the World Cup, with set-pieces and penalties still expected to have a big impact on the outcome of the remaining matches.

Once again, we’ve pulled together all the relevant data so Fantasy Football Scout members can work out which nations are the best to invest in for the semi-finals and final.

It still looks like England are the most likely to score from set-piece situations in the last-four, while France could get some joy against Belgium.

READ NEXT: Our transfer tips and stats for the World Cup Fantasy semi-finals

Our research includes the penalty and corner-takers for each country, based on who has taken them either in Russia or, in some cases, in qualification. If there is no number next to a player’s name it’s because they took at least one in qualifying and/or warm-up games but are yet to take one at the World Cup itself.

We’ve also calculated which teams concede the most fouls and attempts from set-plays too to help you work out which nations are the most likely to get set-pieces in the first place.

To clarify, the ‘Attempts from set plays’ section combines those who have shot from direct free-kicks or those who have latched onto the end of a corner.

The deadline for Gameround 6 is at 19:00 BST on Tuesday July 10, so make sure you sort your team in time.

      Suspect they’ll sign Mitrovic before the season starts, Kamara may get starts on the right of a three but they should be looking to strengthen there too.

    Thoughts on Ndidi + Marcelo + Coutinho + Golovin --> De Bruyne + Hazard + Sterling + Trippier

    That would give me:

    Lukaku - Griezmann - Kane
    De Bruyne - Hazard - Sterling - Perisic
    Hernandez - Trippier - Vida
    Pickford

    Meunier, X, X, X

    Vertonghen, Trippier, Kompany, Lovren, Meunier
    Pogba, Modric, KDB, Lingard, -
    Rebic, Mbappe, Lukaku

      Probably yes, if you're wanting to give the armband to a defender then choose from Varane or Maguire, these two are the tallest defenders and have the highest probability of scoring a goal from set pieces or corners.

      I intend to have a defender. Bailly pencilled in but can change to Lindelhof or Jones. One of them's got to play!

      Mané is not worth 9.5 and should have dropped 0.5 from last season tbh. A bench of two sub 5.5 forwards is really not ideal. If you're playing 4 at the back you need at least one mid on the bench too for some chance of points, especially with 3 City players. Also, Everton are looking to replace Baines.

          Bilva was a lot more involved last year than people realise, check his game count in CL and PL. Pep was clearly easing him into the team, much like he did with Sané in 16/17, and I expect we'll see a lot more of him this season what wuth Peps comments about David Silva getting older.

      Yet another member of the all important 6.5 - 7.5 midfielder brigade:

      Bilva, Siggy, Martial, Ramsey, Mkhi, Lingard, Theo, Mili - you could make a very viable 5 man midfield from those. Best to keep at least one 7.5 mid slot warm this year!

      Pep said that his minutes would have to managed more carefully as he'll be turning 33 this season so I expect he'll be more prone to rotation (along with just about every other City player). Having said that he's in my team.
