Set Piece Takers

World Cup Fantasy 2022: Penalty and set-piece takers – updated

3 December 2022 28 comments

Skonto Rigga

Using Opta’s World Cup data from our Premium Members Area, we’ve updated our set-piece takers table ahead of the knockout stage.

Below we’ve highlighted the players in bold who have taken a penalty, free-kick or corner in the first three Matchdays, with anyone else on the list left over from our original table we put together before the tournament started.

For example, we suspect that Ajdin Hrustic ($5.0m) would be on the bulk of set plays when fit to start for Australia, based on what we saw during qualification.

You can see this information yourself with a Fantasy Football Scout subscription – taking out a monthly membership today will get you access to all the tournament proper player and team stats that arrive immediately after every single match at Qatar 2022.

You’ll also be able to pore over all the Premier League stats available to Premium Members ahead of the Gameweek 17 restart.

Here it is, then, our refreshed table.

The players are listed in order of potential prominence at dead-ball situations. For example, Harry Kane is England’s first-choice penalty taker and Neymar is first in line for direct free-kicks with Brazil.

The rest of this article below is completely free to read but requires a Fantasy Football Scout user account for access – you can get yours at no cost here

Assuming all starts, which combo is better?
A) Perisic + Rashford + Di Maria
B) Foden + Richarlison + Di Maria
C) Perisic + Neymar + Fernandez

Leaning towards A because not sure if Neymar is fully fit yet

  I'd keep away from Neymar
  Brazil has got depth so they'll not risk it

Has anyone emailed FIFA fantasy to ask why Alba is still showing only 4 points for match day 2? He is being robbed his 5 points for a clean sheet, having been substituted before Germany scored.

  i could be wrong because the rules are hectic, but it ain't like fpl and i think regardless of being subbed before the goal, your team didn't get clean sheet so not does Alba

  Lol looks like yet another thing that has gone wrong with this WC, the stupid AC system apparently is making everyone sick. This now tips me to stay away from anymore Dutch players
  Cheers!

    Thinking the same thing. All because those FIFA thugs wanted the bribes. What a hell hole to have the WC in.

  Looks like not just the Dutch team but a wider issue with going in and out of A/C with the big temperature changes making a lot of players vulnerable to bugs. Like how people who work delivering things to offices in southern US get sick a lot.
  
  Might turn out to be a big advantage for people who've held onto wildcard booster, sadly I am not one of them.
