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.

    On a wildcard, pick two out of the three:
    A)Alonso
    B)Robertson
    C)Trippier

    A - Chelsea don't look like they'll be keeping a lot of CS this season. Sarri doesn't seem like the kind of manager who cares a lot about CS, and the back 4 with Luiz have been quite poor.
    B - Liverpool have terrible fixtures coming up, and they also have a difficult group in the CL.
    C - Seems to be taking a lot of the set-pieces, but isn't fully fit right now, and so far hasn't been playing as much far forward as the other two.

      Number one FPL rule, always pick players that are nailed.

        I think Trippier will start a similar number of games to Robertson once we have UCL up and running.

    I posted this before the season started and I'll post it here again to remind you all.

    The average gameweek score required to win the entire FPL game in the last 3 seasons was 66.11 (2017/2018 season), 67.47 (2016/2017 season) and 64.68 (2015/2016 season).

    Whats your gameweek average you are hoping for this season? I am ambitiously hoping for a 65 average (wishful thinking). Just need to keep hits to a minimum and when using hits, using them wisely.

    Lucas Moura is great and all that but Sonny will be back soon enough...

    Looking at shipping peltier for a hit. Can afford any defender (other premiums I have are Robbo and Mendy). Obvious pick is Alonso but Walker is tempting, thoughts?

      Don't overthink it. Alonso for sure.

    If Burnley get knocked out tonight is it sensible to get a Burnley defender on WC?

      Not the worst team with 3 heavy hitters. A bit vulnerable to rotation though.

        Yeah 4.5 and 4.0 subs worries me but can't find a way around it. Was thinking of dropping robbo and upgrading 4.5mid

        Personally I think 7.0 is enough invested in arsenal. Not sure another 4.0 give or take is worth auba

      Way too weak bench with so many rotation risks come CL group stages. Aguero, Mendy, Robbo, Salah, Lucas
