The best set piece takers and targets for FPL Gameweek 3

Fantasy Premier League managers are encouraged to factor the Gameweek 3 set piece match-ups in their transfer plans in the next few days.

In the second of a new series of Members articles we assess once again where set play situations can be exploited.

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 two rounds 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 3.

    Is Bellerin an option to go with Mendy and Alonso??

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      People will say PVA is a superior choice.

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Slight rotation risk with Lichtsteiner about. Bellerin was really poor defensively last game.

      Robertson a better pick.

    3. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal.

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin is a liability

  2. OldBenKenobi

    Really starting to get behind the idea of Aubameyang(c) this week....

    1. abaalan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Like it, tempter myself

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Don't overthink it

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not overthinking just playing aggressive to make up for slow start

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham are awful go for it

    4. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He will play winger, Salah brace and that as they say is that

      1. Cabra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'd fancu Auba even more if he played on the left cause that would mean Laca plays and Arsenal looks way better with him on the pitch. Which again makes Auba more attractive.

    5. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      good if no salah

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Got Salah but started slow so I need to play aggressive and take some risks to make up ground

        1. MMN
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I don't think you need to start taking risks till around GW25/30 and even then if you're really behind, not like 30/40 points.

          From GW3 it crazy to go into "chasing" mode.

        2. il Brutto
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          You really don't. It's a long season and you should just captain the player you feel has the best change of scoring big, if that player is Auba this week then go ahead.

    6. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted myself, but I also have Salah and Aguero so I'm not so sure I will go through with it

    7. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure it's a good week to go against Salah but could work out. As a Arsenal fan, this match against West Ham looks a tricky one now do after 2 defeats already.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Already had a slow start feel like I need to take a few risks

      2. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        They've had two really tough games under a new manager and now have the opportunity to make grounds against a defensively frail team.

        Even though they lost against Chelsea they showed some real attacking flair at times so I'm predicting 2-3 goals for Arsenal in this one.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Feel like it’s a good week for a differential captain in an attempt to make up lost ground. Won’t catch anyone captaining the same player (ie Salah)

          1. MMN
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yes you will, with the other 10 players. A lot of people have made this mistake season in season out, e.g. not captaining or having Suarez in your team because you're behind, only to go much further behind. I'm not against your decision itself, just the logic behind it.

          2. ted mcnure
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            @Oldben The differential early on is not taking hits. I should know- can't resist!

  3. The Fed
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Which of these midfielders should replace Schurrle:

    A) Fraser

    B) Pedro

    C) Maddison

    D) Other, who?

    6.9 max, so no Mkhitaryan.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Dang. 0.1m never hurt so much xD Pedro I guess.

      1. The Fed
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ye, it sucks.

    2. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser to free up money

    3. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison?

      1. The Fed
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Got him!

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Maddison without Vardy he will provide even more

    5. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Easily B

    6. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      D. Brooks or Kante if you want to go really cheap and save some cash in the bank, They have solid stats so far.

      1. The Fed
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Good suggestions!

      2. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I like Brooks but I fear Stanislas returning

        1. ted mcnure
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Brooks is looking great, and Stanislas is crocked.

    7. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      C

  4. Boz
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez to Mkhitaryan no brainier?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Any reason why not? Mkhitaryan stats are great considering they’ve played Man City and Chelsea

    2. The Fed
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Thinking about it myself, but Mahrez could start and City have amazing fixtures. Tough call.

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        It’s the city rotation and mkhi being 2.0 cheaper which is swinging me

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      no

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have just bought Mahrez in, so NO. Mind I bought Mhky in too 🙂

  5. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I had already noticed this by watching the two games but even by looking at the stats is kind of dramatic how little Bernardo Silva has created.

    The true Silva has created more chances in one game(actually in only 63 minutes) than Bernardo has in 180 minutes. Pretty sure he's going to be dropped by Pep very soon unless he turns it around.

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      With all due respect what garbage...

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He's played great. He's just deployed in attacking positions for long (usually gets shifted after the formation changes after subs)

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        *not deployed

        1. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I didn't say he played badly but he hasn't really created much for a creative player. When David was on the pitch it was a completely different thing.

          Mkhitaryan has created more chances too and i have both him and Bernardo in my team.

          1. doublyG
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Oh really you didn't say he played badly

            "Pretty sure he's going to be dropped by Pep very soon unless he turns it around."

          2. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            He isn't in the team to be a 'creative player' lol. His role is to be the regista.

            1. Frank Black
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              That's exactly what a creative player is, lol.

              1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                No, his role is to be a deep lying centre mid. Of course he will be creative but obviously you mean creative in terms of chances created and goals.

                1. Frank Black
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  You do realize Gundogan was the central midfielder, right? You're talking about Gundogan, Bernardo has always been a winger by nature.

                  1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    No, study heat maps.

              2. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                You literally compared his chances created to Mhki. You don't understand the regista roll.

                1. Frank Black
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  You don't understand FPL, apparently.

                  1. doublyG
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Rich considering the rubbish you've posted

                  2. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Yeah, I am sure Pep basis his decision on dropping B Silva on FPL.

          3. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Lol, when they were on the pitch at the same time Bernardo was wide with Mendy being the designated crosser overlapping him, and D. Silva was more central. Of course he wont get much creativity in that role. he clearly was intended to just keep the ball rolling.

    3. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wat

    4. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Talking shite. No chance he is dropped. He is the most important player to the system. Watch the football not the stat sheets.

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I watched the games, the only one more underwhelming than him was Mahrez. D. Silva, Sterling, Kun and Gabriel were all more impressive than him.

        1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          You are lost mate. He will not be dropped.

          1. Frank Black
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            When Sterling, Sanè and Mahrez will start delivering all those goals and assists he will, sadly. That's just how football works.

            1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              They a wingers, Bernando is a CM???

      2. MDK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Isn't FPL all about the stat sheets?

        1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Him being dropped has nothing to do with FPL.

          1. MDK
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            So maybe the point should have been whether he's a reliable option regarding FPL rather than whether Pep will drop him or not

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Bilva is a class act but only scores one of every ten goals City score when he's on the pitch, and he has the same 1/10 ratio with assists. He's not a good FPL asset.

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, this. He plays very well with the others but he's not very involved in the most dangerous situations; it seems like he creates more chances for those who actually creates more concrete chances/assists.

        Therefore not an amazing FPL option.

        1. ted mcnure
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          When the various cups kick in, he will be a cup/Cup player..

      2. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Having had a look at his points per minute last season out of Sane, Sterling, KDB, David SIlva, Mahrez and himself only Sterling did better

    6. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wow you found some animosity. He stays don't compare too well with the other creatives in the team. Not sure if he'll be dropped on this basis as I think Pep has slightly tweaked his system this year without KDB and Sane. It looks like the full backs are creating more and the attacking play is flowing less centrally and through wingers. The defenders acting as wingers now.

      1. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        For what it's worth with Dilva back I think he'll start to be rotated.

  6. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Crazy to think about starting Hamer over DDG?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      hamer time

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds good to me

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I probably will

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t get people excited to start a goalie who has shipped 9 goals in the first two games. Surely Cardiff will score soon??

      1. stat
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Cardiff have managed two shots on target against Bournemouth (A) and Newcastle (H) (who had a man sent off at 66')

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            So Cardiff won’t score ever? If they’re gonna score you’d think this would be their chance. Huddersfield is seriously rubbish even compared to Bou and Newcastle.

            1. stat
                5 years, 8 months ago

                No but come the end of the season they'll probably be the PL's lowest scorers

              • MMN
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                This logic is a bit silly, especially considering Huddersfield kept around 10 CS last season. Mostly at home to weaker teams.

            2. Costa Nostra
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Also, since Cardiff hardly shoot then other than hoping for a CS, what are you hoping for? There won’t be any save points or bonus chance either??

              1. stat
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  6 points

                  1. Costa Nostra
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    So do or die. Good luck:)

            3. Greenbackbøøg…
              • 9 Years

              Have you seen Cardiff play? They're about midtable championship level

            4. doublyG
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Surely more chance Spurs will score than Cardiff this weekend

              1. Costa Nostra
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                I guess it’s a toss up with this exact choice. But I’m seeing others saying they’re gonna start Hamer over decent matchups. Just remember you started a Huddersfield goalie when you get your 1 or 2 points

                1. stat
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    They kept 7 clean sheets in 19 home games last season. That's not a bad return - it's as many as Burnley kept at home.

                      They weren’t half bad last season. But pretty sure they’re projected to be at or near bottom before this season. Plus Hamer was t even their goalie last year.

                          They've played Chelsea and City.. it's pretty hard to draw conclusions after two games

                        It's not close. 5.0m for a starting Liverpool defender is a great deal. And they've looked very solid. Alisson is great.

                            Fair enough. Maybe I'm overthinking but unsure about solidity with tot, che, MCI in next 6.
                            PVA's fixtures to GW9 then LIV seems ideal.

                    Having read Ginkapo’s hot topic earlier, and a good selection of comments since then, I think it’s time to change my bookmark to this site straight to the members area. Not enough high quality discussion here to be worth checking in during the fairly limited time I have to visit. Not a knock against Geoff and co, just too many self-indulgent posters which, alongside the format, is discouraging genuine discussion.

                    I’m far too jaded by it to even tune in to the scoutcast tonight as that can be mostly repetitive nowadays. To be fair, I do particularly enjoy listening to Az’s insight so it’s a shame really.

                        I hear you, but like others have said in response to Ginkapo’s post, I don’t feel the comment format encourages discussion. I’ve made a new post knowing that it’s been a couple of hours since that hot topic saw any comments so anything I put there now will likely be missed.

                        As I alluded to before, there’s only a couple of short periods in the day I can visit so I usually go to the hot topics first, often hours after they were posted, and add a comment only to get no reply. Not even from the mods who made them. I’ve often found myself to be the last comment on hot topics.

                        E.g. https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/18635847

                        Why bother? For me, the problem is largely the format and how it favours the low quality poster so much more than it does the high quality one. I’m not the first to say it and I won’t be the last.

                          I seem to have a 7 for long-serving stupidity.. I agree there's a lot of new people, but that's a good thing.
                          It will sort itself out as the season goes on, people lose interest..
                          I tried membership last year but gave up because I don't understand stats, or football really..
                          Personally I like the off-topic rants and bants .. I used to live in the DZ and that's the place to be..!
                          Good luck with the game and enjoy your year!

                            Fair play if that’s what you enjoy. But don’t you wish there was a specific place where you could find off topic stuff like that? You shouldn’t be limited to one time of day, like the dead zone, to enjoy the discussion you favour.

                            Thanks for your good luck message, same to you. We all enjoy fantasy football, and I guess this site too, for different reasons and that’s not a bad thing.

                      It should be a place for more profound discussions, that i do agree with you. But i guess it´s also wishful thinking when the game has been so large and thus making it more difficult to sustain a decent level in fora with that crowded. Anyway, what might be the reasons for this change could be more than just the format, to me it looks like craving for a more profound and deeplying discussions have to be founded upon both the format but also restrictions elsewhere (and i´m not sure wether those restrictions is actually any good). Speaking for myself, i´ve never posted a RMT or asked a question about a or b, but instead i have tried to answer as trutful and sincere as i can to others who asks for help, and in so doing i actually helping myself because by seeing others team and the thinking behind it, could in fact have implications for ones own team. Mostly i try to elaborate my answers, so very rarely do i just answer yes or no to the questions. I like to talk football in general and tactics and that also goes for FPL, you have to think tactically and strategic both places to gain a deeper understanding of the game(s), which in turn gives you (imo) more fun when watching. I would welcome a thread that is more directed towards the more deeplying discussions and topics, that´for sure. But we shall also try to invent this not just sit and wait, which hardly ever made any revolution-)

                        Hi there. I appreciate the effort you put in to your responses to questions. That’s the kind of thinking that is needed from more people. And thanks for taking the time to reply to me.

                        What I do really find a shame is that I don’t recall having ever seen one of your posts. That definitely isn’t your fault, and again makes me question the comment stream format. Good quality posts are getting lost on pages long gone by the time others visit.

                        Often I come on with a certain topic in mind to see what people are saying about it but it is so hard to find anything relevant amongst, to be frank, the other garbage. A better structure would allow us to find a group of posts on a certain topic much more easily.

                          I´m not the most frequent replier, and my experience in FPL is only 2 full seasons so still learning the game. As a scholar i am used to debating and also to look at things from different perspectives, and also to make decisions based on several strategies and factors in mind. From time to time tehre are smo discussions worth reading, but as you points out, not much. Often it kind od dies in the birth, and often it can be seen as sideeffects of an RMT, but not as an intended debate about playing FPL.

                    NEW WC team - thoughts? (poor bench):

                    Haz Mkhiti Fraser Mane Richarlison

                      Don't think I would go for TAA before GW 9 tbh.
                      Also not so sure about Ederson. It can quickly become a nuisance if you want a third outfield player from City.

                      I prefer to rotate two 4.5 gks, went with Hennessy and Ryan. Saves.5 towards robbo too

                    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall having read something about price rises.

                    Do price changes need proportionally more transfers, the further and further away a player's price is from the starting point?

                    Let's say player X started at 7m and has now lost 0.3m in a couple of weeks. Does it take more and more transfers for him to FALL further in price? and less and less transfers to move towards his starting price?

                    I hope it made sense and thank you in advance

                      It depends on the ownership I think. So the more owned a player is, the more transfers in/out are needed to change his price and vice versa.

                        • 11 Years
                        5 years, 8 months ago

                        Cheers. So you are actually saying that less and less transfers out are needed for each price fall and more and more transfers in are need for price rises? With no connection to starting price?

                            Doesn’t really make sense to me, but cheers.

                    Used to really enjoy watching the scout casts, but no mark and Granville etc makes it now look dry and uninteresting.
                    As soon as AZ starts talking I just switch off.
                    No offence intended!

                      Give it a chance, everything moves on and we need to give these chaps some time. I'm personally just grateful to get some advice from people who know what they are doing.

                    Is Arnautovic permanently on pens? Do we know something about it?

                      Noble was on the pitch when he took it, so I would assume so.

                      Not sure how reliant it is, but:

                      "Noble has been the designated penalty taker but Twitter user @ExWHUemployee - a reliable source of West Ham news who revealed all the big signings before they happened - says he has given the role up for Arnautovic.
                      It's suggested Noble has handed over the honours because he missed one in pre-season and penalties could help Arnautovic finish higher up the list of top scorers.""

                    best replacement for Jota as my 4th mid? (8.2m to spend)

                    a)Mkhitaryan
                    b)Pedro

                      I would go for Mkhitaryan due to good fixtures plus you'll keep some money in the bank which will give you more freedom on your next transfer

                    Play Arnie or Kante this week?

                    Newcastle sitting deep suggests Kante will be getting in the box a lot

                      Really tough one. I'd probably go Kante.

                    Considering B.Silva to Mkhitaryan to get some Arsenal cover.

                    Already have Mendy and Aguero. No Arsenal.

                    Is this sensible?

                      No. Cover is a myth unless, perhaps, defence.
