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.

      Currently playing AWB & Ings, with Fraser - Schnederlin - Tomkins on bench in that order.

      But actually want to play Schnederlin instead of Ings, so no defs vs attack (have Alonso, re Fraser)

      You should check Silva's record with C Forwards.
      He uses the as enablers for wide men who cut inside and look for channels.
      With wally and Richi i don't see this changing anytime soon.

    Morning lads.
    I currently have a bench of Cairney, Ings and Peltier. Would you guys do a -4 hit to bring in Bennett for Peltier? Peltier likely to drop to 3.9 and Bennett rise to 4.1 tonight and I will be priced out.

    Grateful for views on Robbo vs AWB and whether I should play 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 this weekend

    I have
    Alisson (Foster)
    Mendy, Alonso, Robbo and AWB (and Peltier)
    Salah, Bilva, Mkhi, Pedro, Neves
    Aguero, Zaha (Ings)

    LEI away is a tough fixture so I assume a CS is less likely

    So should I play

    A) 3-5-2 with Robbo on bench and play Mendy, Alonso, AWB in defence and all my MIDS including Neves
    B) 4-4-2 with Robbo and AWB in defence and Neves on the bench

    Thanks!
