In the first part of this week’s set pieces article we have uncovered some interesting match-ups for Gameweek 4.

We’ve managed to uncover the fact that the side to have conceded the most attempts from dead ball situations in the first three Gameweeks will be facing the striker with the most shots from them – the stuff of Fantasy Football dreams.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

      Twist. City midfield / wings is anyone's guess...Lucas average position has been extremely high (further forward than Kane's last match IIRC).

      Think he will kick on and is more nailed on.

        Don’t have any money in the bank tho. Always going to play Ederson so Speroni will always be benched and i have a good feeling about Lerma. Only other 4.5s are Stephens and Gudezoni who don’t exactly scream points.

          I would be worried about rotation in your team. You could at least get Hamer, who has a chance of playing. If Mendy, Aguero and Mkhitarian get benched (not a crazy suggestion, plus Hazard might not start) you'll be in rough shape with Bennet, Bednarek and Lerma coming off the bench. I'd wait til Lerma actually plays before taking a risk on him. There are others at 4.5.

              They took over an hour to draw 64 balls out of a pot. Only needed 24 so assume everything takes 166% longer than necessary.

              Looking at Moscow's draw they might need to run the fixtures past Putin too.

      Defo good to go. Maybe start Fraser over Wan B as you already have Hennessy and we haven’t exactly looked strong at the back since Sarri came in (Luiz playing in a back 4!)

      Looks good for this week. Could also use your wildcard over int break if you think major changes are needed.

      Wally because he’s the only one who isn’t more expensive and has the same fixtures

      Moura, seems like he’s playing as more of a second striker and has a great understanding with Kane
