Fantasy Premier League managers are encouraged to factor the Gameweek 2 set-piece match-ups in their transfer plans in the next few days.

In the first of a new series of Members articles we will assess where set play situations can be exploited each week.

Where this differs from the set-pieces tab is that we have added extra detail on how many of each set-piece has been taken so far, which players have had the most attempts from set-plays in terms of goal efforts, as well as how like teams are to receive or give away free kicks or penalties.

That way, by comparing each team’s overall set-piece data to find any mismatches, individuals expected to benefit from these situations will become clearer.

We ran similar articles during the World Cup and found them to helpful to Fantasy managers, hence why we have decided to bring them to FPL.

Obviously we only have round of data so far so it may difficult to find too many over-arching trends right now, but we’ll be building on this template every week for Members to use when making their transfers or deciding on team selection.

Any differences between the takers here and on the set-pieces tab are purely because that individual is not available in Gameweek 2. For example, Junior Stanislas is an important figure in set-pieces for Bournemouth but will not feature at West Ham through injury, so we have removed him the list of potential takers for this weekend’s match.

      How does it work?

    Kane always dominates the London derbys.

    Just putting it out there.

    How comfy is it behind the sofa.

        Very true.

    4. sofa? surely that should be behind the rattan?

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10

        Is that a curtain or head wear.

      He looks crap

  3. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I think that being patient and making transfers in bulk is a very good approach.

    So instead of doing 1x transfer 3 weeks in a row, you make 3x transfers for -4 in the third week - opening up a variety of options to restructure your team, invest money into a particular position etc. Effectively mini wildcards every 3 weeks.

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’m trying to adopt this approach, not necessarily doing the -4 every time the 3xft opportunity arises but at a few times in the year. i’m really not hit averse, just sensible hits

    2. Meppelfield
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You can do that every other week though. If you do it every third week you let one transfer waste. 🙂

      I agree fully, I prefer bulk transfers and it also forces you to think twice about your moves instead of kneejerking week to week.

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just basic stuff really but knee jerking and all

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Depends. You could make the same three transfers over a period of 3 weeks by shifting out a player with a bad fixture for a player with a good fixture (that you want long term obviously). I try to do my transfers when fixtures turnaround for a player or if he is no good. But I always try to think two-three weeks ahead when I do single transfers

    5. Kalou
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      442 a good shout all season bf?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. In my opinion, it's the most proven approach. It's not the only approach of course, but certainly the most maintainable.

    6. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, if i reckon the -4 will pay off but I rarely do and getting through the season hit free makes every FT all the more measured or thought-out it you will.

    7. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      On the flip side you hold onto a deadwood player for 3 weeks scoring 1s and 2s when you could have replaced him with a form player scoring 6+ points

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        + per game

    8. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think I will be doing this week 3 to get Mane in.
      Cairney,Sanchez,Firmino > 4.5,Mane,Aubameyang-4

    9. Oooof
      • 11 Years

      Thanks for the advice

    10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Adopting this tactic in the second half of last season helped me overturn a 140 point gap

    11. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      This is the smart approach, but far less fun than gung-ho hit taking

  4. Benster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So the biggest question this week is whether to captain Salah or Aguero, assuming you own both. If not then feel free to ignore the rest of this post

    1. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The likelihood is that Aguero owners will all wait for Pep's news conference and he will reveal a big fat zilch, so all we have to go on is what we already know, so we may as well make our minds up now right?

      Cons:
      Didn't look sharp against Arsenal
      Jesus could be given the nod
      City have an embarrassment of riches in attack
      May have annoyed Pep with his greediness at the end
      Pep doesn't 'need' to play him to win this game

      Pros:
      Looked sharp in Community Shield
      Even if he gets 20 mins at the end I fancy him to score
      Pep has hinted that sometimes he'll play 2 up top
      Best way to get match sharpness is to play games
      Pep will want goals in this game, given Pool hit 4
      Did get a 15 min rest at the end of last game

      1. Benster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I think there's enough pros to persuade me to captain him over Salah, unless by some miracle we get more info.

        Thoughts?

        1. Jules Rimet
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Aguero was injured for about 10 or so games last season in the PL but every game he played he was on the pitch for atleast +60 minutes except for two games.
          Also, three of UKs most prominent sportpapers all put Aguero in the early line-up for the game. So thats another two pros.

          1. Benster
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Good additional points. This is helping ☺

      2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        we’re going to have this decision at lot in the next few weeks with city’s fixtures

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Headache

    2. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Salah or kane for me

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

    4. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero for me. High risk high reward. Think Pep wont underestimate Hud after last season so expect as strong a team as possible although with the options they have, pretty anything is strong. Could be the same lineup with kdb coming in. Would have said he plays a 3-5-2 but he really seems to like Sterling

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Sterling up top?

    5. HARV8645
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

    6. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Another thing is that Aguero didn't play any part in the goalless draw with Huddersfield at the end of last season. A match in which City sorely missed his firepower

  5. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Scoutcast tonight?

    1. Norman Conquest

    1. Agger
      • 10 Years

      Why are you jealous?

      1. Jealous Viper
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Because everyone keeps fawning over the cobras. Vipers need more love

    Having only joined the FFS community this season, I've enjoyed being a member so far especially with the articles, podcasts and stats.
    Can anyone recommend any other FPL podcasts (ideally non American ones)? Would be nice to listen to one daily, as one a week currently does not fulfil my FPL fix. There is no such thing as too much FPL.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The only other one worth listening to IMO that isn't cringey or grating is FF surgery
      Lots of decent YouTube content though

      1. MysticMac17
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, yeah I'm all over the Youtube content such as FPL TV, Lets Talk FPL and FPL Tips. Besides them and FFS, theres an awful lot of awful FPL content on youtube (such as whining teenagers who have yet hit puberty screaming into the mic, it hurts my ears)

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Who Got The Assist is generally very good

      1. MysticMac17
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I listened to them last week, was pretty good up until I heard them do an all English fantasy 11 which included Joshua King (who they made captain) who is Norwegian! Thought they would be more knowledgeable of players

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          It's an inside joke. They know full well he is Norwegian

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My advice is get a notepad and pen make up your own stats tables and learn the players who are performing and who aren't so you will understand FPL better. You will also understand the shows better and know who is talking nonsense and who isn't.

      1. MysticMac17
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah dont worry I do that. I have to walk my husky dog a few hours a day and amnt into music too much so would rather use that time to listen to FPL talk (even if it is some nonsense).

    Who would you start in GW2:
    A) AWB (LIV)
    B) Cairney (tot)

    1. Random Name
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Neither tbh

    2. ZACTAY
      • 10 Years

      A

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If you're feeling funky go AWB. Spurs probably keep that CS and win but Palace had a very strong end to last season defensively. Both are bad options

    6. Dsmythy

      I'd chance Cairney.

  13. bolkoslaw
    • 7 Years

    Transfer
    A) Austin for Wilson
    B) Siggurdson for Richarlison?

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I don't get the Aguero not sharp so start at the weekend. He's one of the most important players for CL so Pep has to get him ready which means playing games for a team that has multiple players capable of scoring.

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      *so wont start

    2. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pep could bench Mendy, Bilva, Aguero and Sane. He is loony at times

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This also. He is genuinely touched when it comes to team selection.

        Don’t be surprised to see Ederson outfield at some point this season.

      2. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        *He is loony at times* correct but that tends to be further into the season not during the start and Aguero is the most important out of your list.

        1. Jealous Viper
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Not sure how much of a difference it makes. Saw some stats on both strikers minutes when both were fit and Aguero did play more but 11m is such a steep price to pay for a cap who could easily give you 2 points.
          The bad thing is if he doesnt start, he most likely still comes on

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kun could snap his hamstring getting out of the shower in fairness, playing games has never really ended in anything other than injury for him in the past.

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He could still get him ready by playing the last 30min every 2nd game as he wants Jesus fit aswell, so just a bit risky to captain atm

    Is there any chance the scout team could recruit a female FPL enthusiast? I think that would do wonders for their street cred and diversity. Are there any female FPL’ers that could join the scout Cast?

    1. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good idea

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mark could just ask Jules to replace him in the Scoutcast if he gets too busy 🙂

    3. MysticMac17
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The FPL site included a female on their "FPL experts squad" which included Simon March, Ben Crabtree (previous winners) & David Munday (key contributor here who generally posts very good and detailed articles on here) along with Holly Shand (who is the founder of the Fantasy Football Community). Video can be seen on FPL facebook page on August 9 (theres a few of them). So yeah, if they wanted a female presence, I'm sure David could ask her? (my suggestion to your question)

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      and maybe she could wear short skirts and occasionally bend over and pick up Marks cat.

      This just sounds like diversity for diversity's sake.

      If you had a good female candidate in mind, feel free to recommend them but pushing for a female to get a job because "they are female" is massively patronising. All according to their merit. Positive discrimination is still discrimination.

    Can anyone explain something for mr.

    I have Richarlison. I bought him for 6.5 and he's now worth 6.6.

    If I want to transfer him however, I only get the 6.5 I paid for him.

    Do you only ever get the price you paid for a player back?

    1. adams_6
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He has to rise 0.2 for you to get and increase of 0.1

    2. Ronaldo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      you get 50% of the price rise. If it's only a 0.1m rise, they screw you and round it down to the closest 0.1m so you get nothing. if its a 0.3 rise, you only get 0.1m

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      When you sell a player you get half the amount you sell for in return.

      Fir example. You buy player for 6.5m and player now costs 6.9m.

      Then you get 6.7m for him when you sell.

      Cost you 5m, now costs 5.3m to buy.

      You get 5.1m only. You can not get 5.25m..

      When there is an odd number gain you get the lesser of the two. So yes if you sell Rich now you get 6.5m for him.

    FAO Mods:

    Just a quick query in relation to seeing your mini-leagues Team Valve after the rises last night?

    In some cases I can see my rivals team value, in others it remains at 100.0 yet they have AWB, Mané, Richarlison, etc and I know it’s much higher than 100.0

    Is that a glitch?

    Thanks!

    Can someone help me out...how do I read the numbers on the article above...

    For example if it says Shots from set plays 3 I 4 , what does this mean?

    May be a stupid question

    1. Norman Conquest

      home team/away team

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      First team had three, second team had four Tec.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          But then surely the numbers for fouls drawn for one team should match the fouls conceded for the other team?

          I.e it should be...
          Fouls Drawn 5 I 6
          Fouls Conceded 6 I 5

          But the numbers in the article are different.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Wait.

      Huddersfield at home is a good fixture and he doesn't need 90 minutes to return points.

      You didn't buy him just for the Arsenal fixture. Give him another week then reassess.

      You'll have more options come GW3.
