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.

            • 8 Years

            1. SuperMario
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I like the idea of Mendy & Mkhi

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

              Menfy in for -4 before big price rise

  3. AF90
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Already did Sanchez -> Mhki for free...realised I have cash to do B.Silva & Tosun -> Richarlison & Aguero (-4)

    Definitely worth it right?!

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yep

    2. Athletic Nasherbo

      ABSOLUTELY

      1. AF90
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That’s what I thought, wasn’t planning it but just hit me right in the face & thought I have to do it now with the ownership & prices going up!

    3. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      that might be the best -4 I have ever seen.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Definitely!

    4. Gentle_Turks

      You must have more than 1.0 mil in the bank?

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, course you do because of selling Sanchez.

        I’d def make those transfers.

    5. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Best hit ive seen all day.
      Smash that button!

  4. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ

    B Silva is going to seriously punish the sellers.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’m keeping. But you dunno for sure

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Borrowed time I think. If Pep can bench Sterling, Walker, Sane etc B.Silva’s time will come. Only reason everyone got him was due to him actually having a pre-season.

      1. willl
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He is 7.5m compared to 11m for Sterling and 9.5m for Sane though.

        That is why I got him at least.

      2. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone will get benched every now and then. Have a couple of decent subs and you’ll be more than happy 4 out of 5 games.

        Again. Another reason to WC. rotation is rife for elite teams, so have a good bench.

    3. willl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have this feeling too.

      People saying he will play wingback so isn't worth having are mad.

    4. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Better option than Dilva

      1. willl
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        not sure about that, but he is cheaper

    5. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am happy to keep for now but not until he gets rotated

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I don’t see him punishing. If he’s rested this weekend interested to see how many of you stick with him.

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

      City mids aren’t punishing anyone right now and bsilva is way down on the list of blue punishers. Folk are still thinking of last season but the point scoring landscape has shifted again.

  5. Peggi
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    can the casuals please stop selling Aubameyang

    1. E25
      • 10 Years

      Love it as a non owner

    2. Costa Nostra

      How many blanks in a row should they wait for? Asking for a casual...

      1. JohnnyMagrinho
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Two of their hardest fixtures they'll have in their entire season in the first two gameweeks.

          You can tell your casual friend to simply look at the fixture list to understand why it would be very rash to get rid this early on.

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

              *UPDATE*

              Have advised and was told the choice is between Aguero and Auba...and he’s going with the one who scores hat tricks for fun and has equally if not better fixtures over he next 5.

              These casuals just won’t learn..

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      Really do actually like the look of Gudmundsson from gwk5 , but is there any others 6m>?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Fraser

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This. Also look at wat ford mids

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Rather Fraser for 0.5m less, who has some open play threat to go with his set piece assist potential unlike Gudmunsson

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          ?? Gudmundsson on Corners and Free kicks, 9 goals and 10 assists compared to 5 goals and 3 assists. Really?

            • 9 Years

            he got 2 goals, 9 assists and 10CS

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Sorry my bad

                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                History doesn't really work with Fraser as circumstances have changed. As far as I know he wasn't on set pieces last season, not 100% on that though and he was in and out of the team. I'd expect him to improve on his 5 goals and 3 assists this season. Both him and his manager have either alluded to or spoken directly about him becoming more of a key part of their attacking armory this season.

      3. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        best 6m option, that team is the one you want to get the set piece hogger from as well

      4. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years

        tom cairney will step up

      5. Differential C (Mark)

        Milner

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Good shout if he is able to keep his place

      6. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Have the feeling Brady will be on them set pieces once he is fit.

      Question for everyone, how is this possible? The guy in my mini league have a team for exactly 100mil which now worth 100.4mil which is ok, but he has 0.9mil itb and he didn't make any transfers.

      1.) How does he have 0.9mil itb ( he can have 0.5 or 1.0 mil) when he didn't make any transfers?

      2.) How does he have any money itb when his team cost 100mil exactly?

    7. aspilcueta
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      After a successful 71 and 85 points, I have wildcarded. Thoughts on my team thus far?

      Ederson / Hamer
      Alexander Arnold / Alonso / Mendy / Wan B / Cook
      Pedro / Pogba / Mane / Mkhi / Richarlison
      Aubameyang / Aguero / Kamara

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        nice team, but salah hatty may force you to took another wc soon 🙂

        1. aspilcueta
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I had Salah, but I got rid. More balance in my team, plus other players have better fixtures in the short term. Willing to take the risk !

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can I ask how many changes you made in your wildcard team?

        1. aspilcueta
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It was:
          Foster / Patricio
          Van Dijk / Mendy / Wan B / David Luiz / Bednarek
          Salah / Lucas Moura / Richarlison / Felipe Anderson / Cairney
          Aguero / King / Lacazette

          11 I think. A nice little shuffle around.

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Excellent.

      4. WannabeScout
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like mine, went with out Salah too. I went with 2 4.5 gks

        1. aspilcueta
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I have gone for Ederson because 1) City's midfield is a minefield, and B) Mendy is as much at risk of getting a rest as Walker is, and he did indeed get a rest. So at least with Ederson I have some City cover at the back for the upcoming good fixtures.

    8. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry to re-post. Is it worth to pay 1.0m more for Ederson (5.5m) over the 4.5m like Foster / Fabianski / Hennessey / Ryan ?

      The plan is to go with 1 playing GK and 4.0m. Maximize budget on outfield players and get rid GK decision.

      >> With Ederson, it would be easy set and forget.
      >> With 4.5m, it will require FT to switch just once before the 2nd Wildcard to get the best fixtures.

      This 1.0m is quite significant :
      >> 4.0 vs 5.0 DF
      >> 4.5 vs 5.5 MF
      >> 4.5 vs 5.5 FW

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If you had Hennessey you could set and forget until after GW 9 perhaps? Could be worth it as the difference between Ings and Kamara for example is bigger than the difference between Ederson and Hennessey over the next 6 weeks

      2. Podge
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        5.5 and 4.0 is still too much budget, get rotating 4.5s. If you have ederson and Mendy you can only have 1 more outfield player, probably Kun so no bilva/Sterling/Mahrez if they show decent form.

    9. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Would you prefer Richarlison or Mhki this weekend and why? Bringing in one of them. Cheers

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Richarlison based on form fixtures and nailed to start.

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I don't get this. Arsenal's fixtures look quite promising. Mkhi had a goal and an assist last week. I don't think he'll be dropped. It seems like it should be easy to have both in your team. They both seem like good value to me.

      Mkhi rising tonight, tempted to get him in for Bernardo as my 2nd FT.

      However, he was a rotation risk going into the season, and one good performance surely won't make him nailed, is anyone else worried about this?

      1. Cheeky Onion
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Emery doesn’t seem to fancy Ozil which I hope secures Mkhi’s place as the main playmaker going forward. Great value even with a bit of rotation

        1. willl
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Ramsey and Lacazette both on the bench last match, have to imagine they both need to fit in somewhere.

          I just can't see Mkhi playing more than 2 out of every 3 games, which is too much rotation imo.

          I have Auba already so not too worried about not having enough Arsenal.

        Yes much prefer Pedro who is so suited to Sarri system and 2 great home fixtures v Bournemouth and Cardiff after Newcastle away. Shoe in to start with Hazard with Willian benched in my view. Mkhitaryian one bad game away from a benching and Arsenal not settling with new manager as quickly as Chelsea

        1. willl
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Got Hazard in already.

          It's either save FT and continue with Bernardo or switch to Mkhi for me currently, edging towards saving more.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He should start next game and west ham look awful defensively. another good performance should make him nailed going forward. Im bringing him in for Eriksen i think.

      4. Bada Bing
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I got mikhi for Jota this week. He has great fixtures but I'm not sure Emery can get away with playing two luxury players like mikhi and oz who are defensive liabilities. Out of the two I would bench oz but I doubt if Emery has the cojones to do that.

    12. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I hope Bellerin's price falls before the deadline. I want him.

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Arsenal so bad at the back though ? I know it’s good fixtures but there’s better value imo.

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He'll be a nice differential then. I think too many have written Arsenal off. They've played the best teams in the division, and can only get better now. I can see at least a clean sheet every other game in their next 8 games.

          1. Four Hit Wonder
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Agree. And Bellerin is the best of the bunch, so 5.4m is a steal.

    14. JayJay96
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wildcard done! Few punts thoughts ?

      Ederson / Hamer

      Mendy - Alonso - Monreal/Bellerin Tomkins - AWB

      Salah - Ramsey - Richarlison - Kante - Brooks

      Aguero - Morata - Mitrovic

      Thanks

      1. pressdpm
        • 13 Years

        I like the Morata selection, think you could be ahead of the crowd on that one.

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah nice. I can't bring myself to use a City spot for Ederson but could well be best thing.
          Ramsey a little risky, but so are quite a few other picks right now.

        • The Mandalorian
          • 13 Years

          Go mihki for Arsenal cover he is playing well under new system

      3. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Already got Mendy and VVD as premium DFs. Who should I pick as GK?
        A) Kepa - great fixtures but Chelsea defence looked leaky vs Arsenal
        B) Ederson - Fixtures + Form, but would be my third City player which I don't like
        C) Any 4.5 - extra £ for outfield

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          A

        2. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Kepa

        3. Bad Kompany
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Hennessey maybe

          1. Jimmy Boy
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Is he nailed? Worried Guaita may overthrow him

            1. Bad Kompany
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              He’s been playing really well so I don’t see a reason why he’ll be dropped unless he starts playing really badly

              1. Jimmy Boy
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

          The more I consider, it brings me to 4.5 as the extra 1.0 is making the difference.

      4. bigbudgie

        If you have Mendy and Robertson do you still freak out about Alonso?

          1. bigbudgie
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            what does Mendy and Robertson have to do with Alonso?
            The presumption is that not many will have all three, and Mendy and Robertson may well match or outscore Alonso anyway, and thinking about which ones have started the season best, or been lucky, or are most likely to continue their form, and is there better value in defence + mid range priced midfielders, in other words a totally different team structure to what is the norm .... etc ... etc

            Yeah, there was quite a lot implied...;-)

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              My only concern is clean sheets with Chelsea and the premium you have to pay for Alonso. I have all 3 though as 6.5 alonso price is good value compared to a mid.

              1. bigbudgie
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Agree with that.
                City and Liverpool look much more likely to keep clean sheets than Chelsea.

          Defence is:
          Kepa
          Mendy - Robertson - PVA - Pereira

          Alonso can w8

        6. Timon
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Little bit yes. But having all of the 3s mean, you have atleast 35 at your back.Which might be a problem soon

        7. Konstaapeli
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          TAA enables Alonso + Mendy. For me atleast.

          Looks strong. Going all in on defense may be the way to go this season - so far I don't dare to lock up _that_ much money in defense myself.

            I've never gone defence heavy before! Will give it a few weeks and will consider downgrading Walker if needs be. Feel I might need to create a City slot for Dilva at some point

        5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I reckon most of City's world cup players will get one rest game in the early fixtures. Hopefully that's Walker's out the way now but if benched again I'm happy with Kante as first sub

                Outline means it will change. I wanted to know how close to 100% a player is, where its likely to increase that night

            2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

          Auba keeps retreating from that price drop despite losing owners, wanted a drop before he came in tbh

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Same. Keeps hovering between 92 and 95.
            If he drops I can do Bobby and Bilva to Auba and Pedro

        There is no way you can have a balanced team with both Aguero and Aubameyang.

        1. Mic
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          No Salah is the only way really

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            True. So let me update my statement "There is no way you can have a balanced team with both Aguero and Aubameyang and also Salah in midfield"

          Mine's quite balanced, check below.

        5. Oooof
          • 10 Years

          I’ve got Salah, Aubameyang and Aguero.

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Same. GW3 is the start of a nice run for Auba.

        6. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not balanced but it’s ok

          Roberson mendy Cedric
          Salah mane kante rich

          I’m ok with it

        7. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure I agree with this, there's a lot of value in midfield. No Salah is the key.

        8. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I disagree. It just pretty much means no Mane.

          4.5 4.5
          6.5 6 5 4 4.5
          13 7 6.5 5.5 5
          11 11 5.5

        9. Carlton_Goal
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Probably could if you didn't have too many big hitting defenders. So many mid priced midfielders that are good value. For example I'm on my WC and could do:
          Hennessey - Hamer
          Mendy - Robertson - Shaw - WB - Bennet
          Salah - Mkhi - Pedro - Richarlison - Fraser
          Aguero - Aubameyang - Ings

          That's fairly balanced, you just have to make sacrifices

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yea mine above is similar. Just prefer Alonso + Kante over Pedro and Shaw

            1. Carlton_Goal
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Fair enough, was just an example but yeah Alonso would be better

              1. _figu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                No worries. I've already spent a lot of hours mainly consider how to fit Auba in 🙂 came to the conclusion it's pretty much a choice between him and Mane (unless you dare to drop Salah)

      11. FPLShaqiri
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mkhitaryan. Some are saying he’s a rotation risk, but surely not given his form? If so who plays in Arsenal’s front 6? Az on the Scoutcast said something like he was the most underpriced player in FPL

          Looks an 8.5 if he's nailed and performs

        How have people decided over Pedro or Mkhi?

          I have neither. No Arsenal and only Alonso from Chelsea

            mmm, I think Mikhi a bit more nailed and fixtures over short term here edge it for me.

            have neither though at the moment.

          Miki slightly better option imo.

          Okay. I hope King wakes up for you. Mané could punish you though...

                Yeah I'm a bit too hyped up for this game I guess

                  No worries, but at least try to discuss the answers to your questions instead of just reposting it over and over and over again.
                  Team looks good for now. Keep an eye on King and Mahrez for next week. Also i would bench Trippier and play Luiz. Not expecting Spurs to run over ManU at OT

                    King and Mahrez going out for Kamara and Hazard after this week. Thanks for feedback

        Took a hit, but feel set for the next lot of weeks so won’t be looking at much right now.

        G2g?

        Ederson
        Alonso Mendy Robertson Tomkins
        Salah Mkhitaryan Richarlison
        Aguero Firmino Arnautovic

        Bernardo Silva to Mkhitaryan
        Worth it?

          No.

          Haha exact same here.

          I’m leaning towards it. Especially since I have Kun and Mendy, and no Arsenal. Will move for ederson next week.

          Your team?

          Can see the appeal, but don't really think that transfer is a pressing necessity....

          I got a bad hunch Bilva will get rotated this weekend. So I ended up doing that move for a - 4 tonight, before Mkhi goes up in price and Bilva might go down.
