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.

      Tough to tell at the minute. They may prove to be though. Can't see either being dropped ATM by new managers who need their in-form players to keep performing.

      Potentially better value, yes. Especially considering you might not want to use any of them as C.

      Pedro is looking pretty interesting so far. Mkhi too much of an unproven asset for me.

        Yeah - I’m currently on this, but if Pedro starts ahead of Willian this week then I’m tempted with B. Can see both ARS and CHE scoring a bucket load over the next few weeks.

      Not sure I'd take a hit for Hazard until we're surer that he starts games.

      I'd probably say it's worth saving for now if you can afford to, and then do Eriksen -> Hazard for his better run of games.

      Don't do it. Remember that you picked Bilva for a reason. He's a starting midfielder in the best team in the league and he has wlv NEW FUL next.

      Mkhi is a good pick but find some other way of getting him rather than the easy short-term switch. Next week, if they both blank (or score) you'll be looking at Mkhi's car new vs Bilva's NEW FUL

          Look at the heat maps. https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1284758/Preview/England-Premier-League-2018-2019-Manchester-City-Huddersfield

          Doesn't really seem that far back. And then he also moved into CAM for the last half hour or so after subs were made and got a golden chance that was saved. It might be that the first hour he doesn't do much, but if he gets shifted in the last half hour, he can really get amongst the points.

          No, still in three behind Aguero but with Dilva back in the middle he was shunted out wide where he spent most of last season at threat of rotation from Sterling and now add Mahrez to that. He did go back in the middle once Dilva was subbed.

          That's the thing, Lichtsteiner could replace either of them, and then you have dodgy centre backs and the fact that Arsenal have looked poor in defense, it's better to just avoid.

        No but think he won’t score as much as Alonso in the coming GWs and think spurs will score as DDG isn’t in his usual great form either.

    The demise of Bernardo Silva has been so ridiculously overstated.

    - He's a rotation risk! > No, he's not. He's probably the most nailed on City midfielder and has performed well.
    - He's too defensive! > No, look at the heat maps, he's playing wider with Silva in the team, but if/when Silva gets subbed off, he moves into CAM. Last game, he had 3 shots, 2 on target and was extremely unlucky not to score.
    - Mkhitaryen is just way better! > Mkhi did look good and I do want him, lots of shots, looked dangerous etc, but we still don't know how he fits into Arsenal when they play weaker teams. Maybe Lacazette gets a start and he's much less influential. His fixtures are also worse than Bilva's over the next 3 games. WHU car new is worse than wlv NEW FUL.

    You can make better transfers than this one.

      - He's a rotation risk! > of course he is! You have no evidence to suggest he is 'most nailed'. Centrally he has competition from David Silva who is a fantastic player, and possibly Mahrez. On the right he has competition from Sterling and Mahrez too. To say he's nailed is nuts after two games
