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.
