Set Piece Takers

Which FPL players are on penalties and set-piece duties at their clubs?

We take a closer look at Fantasy Premier League (FPL) set-piece and penalty takers in this article.

For those who are unaware, our Set Pieces tab details the expected corner-kick, free-kick and penalty takers for each Premier League side.

Subscribers can also see which players are getting onto the end of dead-ball deliveries, with headed attempts from set plays also chronicled.

WHO TAKES CORNERS, PENALTIES AND FREE-KICKS?

(click the above image to expand)

The lists above are based on a mix of information gathered from this season’s matches, last season’s numbers and pre-season friendlies, and are updated after most Gameweeks as new information becomes available.

All the corner-takers in the above table have been responsible for at least one corner this season, while the direct free-kick and penalty takers have either chanced their arm at least once in 2021/22 or were prominently involved at these set plays in the previous season.

They are ordered so that the main candidates are listed first. For example, Everton boss Rafael Benitez confirmed after Gameweek 3 that Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and Richarlison (£7.4m) were first and second respectively for penalties. Andros Townsend (£5.6m) took a spot-kick in Gameweek 6 with Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison absent, while Demarai Gray (£5.8m) scored from 12 yards in pre-season with all three of the above not on the field.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AT SET PLAYS

Raphinha

From Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) on corners at Liverpool to James Ward-Prowse (£6.4m) on penalties at Southampton, many of us will be familiar with the bulk of the names in the above table.

But having refreshed the list over the international break, we thought it was worth bringing a few recent developments to your attention.

£4.5m-ISH MIDFIELDERS ON SET-PIECE DUTIES

Billy Gilmour‘s (£4.5m) stock is falling after three benchings in the last four Gameweeks but Norwich City teammate Mathias Normann (£4.5m) has assumed control of set-piece duties since his arrival, taking eight corners and four direct free-kicks.

Douglas Luiz (£4.6m) has also been heavily involved at Aston Villa over the last three Gameweeks, taking 12 corners and two direct free-kicks – although the limited involvement of Leon Bailey (£6.4m) and Emiliano Buendia (£6.4m) may have something to do with that.

GALLAGHER DOWN THE PECKING ORDER?

Conor Gallagher (£5.7m) has caught the eye this season, with set-piece responsibilities part of his FPL appeal. But the return to the starting XI of Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) saw the Chelsea loanee play second fiddle to the Serb at corners in Gameweek 6. Michael Olise (£5.4m) then took one last weekend, with Milivojevic on the field but Gallagher off it.

BRUNO BACK ON CORNERS

Iffy form and fixtures has seen many of us offload Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m) in FPL. The Portuguese playmaker may still be on penalties at United, however, and he has returned to corner-taking duties over the last few weeks, taking nine kicks to Shaw’s six in Gameweeks 6-7.

WHO IS ON SET PLAYS AT SOUTHAMPTON?

Ward-Prowse will miss Southampton’s next two league games and such is his dominance at dead-ball situations over the last few years that it’s anyone’s guess who fills in for him – on penalties especially – while he’s out.

Romain Perraud (£4.9m) is the only other Saints player who has taken a corner in the league this season, while Nathan Redmond (£5.9m) and Theo Walcott (£5.8m) were involved on set plays in pre-season.

HOW MANY GOALS ARE SCORED FROM SET-PIECE SITUATIONS?

Season% of PL goals scored from set plays% of PL goals scored from penalties
2021/2220.1%7.5%
2020/2119.2%10.0%
2019/2022.0%7.0%
2018/1923.2%7.8%
2017/1821.9%5.5%

Relatively few free-kicks and corners get converted – just 7.3% of the 506 attempts from dead-ball situations in 2021/22 have found the back of the net – but they still account for a decent chunk of the Premier League goals scored.

Looking at the table above, an average of around one in five of the goals scored in the English top flight are from set plays – a not insignificant figure.

And that doesn’t include penalties: 7.5% of the goals scored this season, for example, came from 12 yards.

So while a player being responsible for the odd corner or two may not be sufficient reason enough to acquire their services in Fantasy Premier League, an added goal threat or increased assist potential from dead-ball situations can only boost a particular asset’s appeal.

WHICH TEAMS ARE CREATING THE MOST CHANCES FROM SET PLAYS?

Given that Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United can count on the likes of Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m), Alexander-Arnold and Luke Shaw (£5.4m) to whip in their set-piece deliveries, it’s no surprise to see those teams top the table above.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have had more attempts on goal from set-piece situations (49) than any other club, while no-one can better their tally of five goals scored from free-kicks and corners.

Shaw’s owners have been left cursing the left-back’s lack of output: despite racking up 33 efforts, United are one of five teams who haven’t scored a single goal from dead-ball situations.

Aston Villa’s appointment of a new dead-ball coach is seemingly paying dividends: they are second only to Liverpool for efforts from set plays and five of their attempts have come from throw-ins.

Brighton are proving to be most accurate from corners. 61% of their deliveries are finding a man, and usually that man is Shane Duffy (£4.3m): he has had more attempts from set plays (13) than any other player this season.

    Gee, a Billy Gilmour drop would be annoying, is he right out of favour now?

      Does Farke want out of Norwich so he's leaving his better plays on the bench

    Who is the most nailed among Gray, Doucoure, and Townsend?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Much of a muchness atm, imo. If you're looking for who will spend the most time on the pitch then Doucoure looks your man.

    2. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gray and Doucoure. Townsend tbc when DCL/Rich are back but on current form hard to drop any

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Doucoure

    Sarr and Greenwood to Raph/Saka and Foden for a hit?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      No.

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sarr to one of Raph/Saka, then?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Raph looks like he may miss this week so maybe Saka, could look to shift Greenwood to Raph for free the week after.

          1. MountainBeach
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I've gotten in Saka. But really tempted for Greenwood to Foden. Think Foden will get big returns over the coming weeks.

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years

              Wouldn't take a hit on Pep roulette.

    New owner bounce for Newcastle next match vs Spurs??

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Newcastle are Spurs bogey team... they need to get rid of Bruce though, will be weird the euphoria of new ownership but stuck with him as the manager first game, even if they just give it to Jones on a caretaker role

    What to do with this horror show?

    Sánchez, Foster

    Salah, Raphinha, Greenwood, Benrahma, Gilmour

      Personally don't see that as a horror show at all. Keep FT and make two moves after next GW. Ronnie to Kaku, and Greenwood to a good mid price mid. Use funds to upgrade defender to City Def.

    2. MFC86
      • 8 Years

      Maybe Greenwood to foden/grealish and saint maxim to Toney/Armstrong

      Bruno from GW14 is going to be insane

      Might be 11.5 by that stage

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        If he is, it's more than likely he's been blanking

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Blanking is fine though as long as he keeps doing what he's been doing - creating chances, receiving chances, and taking penalties - and his next 6 includes Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Leciester, Spurs so a bit of a downturn is to be expected

          It'll be very difficult for him to blank through a run that reads like GW15 onwards reads though

  10. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    You think Mbeumo can hold price till next week ? need to do Alonso+Sissoko to ThiagoSilva(5.4 max) + Mbeumo just 0.0 itb ...Whats the situation with Alonso you reckon he will start?

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure.
      On the index, I imagine it will show him as rising late next week due to WCs, however, he may not. Hard to tell.

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Be careful - can see Thiago not starting next GW after Brazil’s very late third game of the IB

  11. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How does this WC draft look? Thinking of Son + ESR -> Foden + Raph + 1.0 due to Son's tougher looking fixtures.

    Ramsdale // Foster
    TAA Dias Cancelo Rudi // Manquillo
    Salah Son Mbeumo // ESR Luiz
    Lukaku Antonio Hwang

    0.0 ITB

    1. jon.terry.tfh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I got Son from my WC last weekend and honestly his fixtures look quite decent. newcastle and then west ham who has been terrible at the back recently. I like your squad, just not sure about Hwang and his long term future.

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for the inputs! Tinkering with a Toney option but not sure if it's worth it since I will need to downgrade my defence and midfield.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      think I would switch Dias for White or Brighton and go 343 and upgrade ESR/Mbeumo to Raphinha if the money works

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ah that can work too. Raphina's run of fixtures is great even though he will miss out on GW8.

    3. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon Vardy is a better option than Son
      Spurs are low scorers

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes I think so too but I have no budget to get him in but still meeting Trent, Salah, Lukaku and Antonio..

    Why so many foden love after 1 match. As if you Don't know about pep's roulette. Didn't torres give you enough lesson? Did any of city attacker played 2500+ min last season? Kdb is the only guy you need.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      KDB overpriced for mine, better off steering clear altogether imo.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      if you can get 3 out of 4 games from a City mid. have patience and a decent then they could be a very pick

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Goldfish have longer memories than City midfield addicts

      First Mahrez, then Torres, Grealish, now it’s Foden - next week it’ll be Gundo, then maybe Jesus, then it’ll be KDB’s turn, then Sterling for a while, then maybe even Bilva, then back to Mahrez…

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ekhm, Grealish played 60+ minutes in every game so far. Around 80 per game on average. KDB also played almost every minute when he was fit in the last 2 seasons, but maybe Pep finally realized that maybe thats why he's injured every now and then. And he's not so young anymore so I would be curious with him in fpl.

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I would be careful 🙂

  15. jon.terry.tfh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What are people's plan with Antonio?

    His next 6 fixtures:
    EVE (A) 4
    TOT (H) 3
    AVL (A) 3
    LIV (H) 4
    WOL (A) 2
    MCI (A) 5

    Really tempted to ditch him and get Armstrong/Toney. I know he has done well in the first few gameweeks but surely now is time to move on?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      My general strategy is to go with form for strikers and fixtures for defenders.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Already ditched him on my WC. Gotta take your chances when stuck at around 600k.

    3. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m keeping.

      He’s a 10m player priced at 8m.

    4. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      His EO will murder you if he bangs. Which after a break he could do.

    5. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Will keep for two more GWs and then reassess

      1. jon.terry.tfh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely keeping him for GW8 but from then onwards he is facing team with good defensive records, and with european competition coming thick and fast, not entirely convinced he can sustain the performance. Not saying Antonio cant score in those fixtures, but I am considering if I can swap him to Armstrong and upgrade a 4.5mf to Mbeumo to capture their good fixtures.

    It says something for popularity of Premier League, that these pointless repetitive international breaks haven't killed it off yet. The dearth of posts on here shows how interest can rapidly dissipate.

  17. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard plan this week is to pick squad to play 343, with two premium defenders and three cheap rotating ones, a four in midfield which includes Torres and Raphina , but has a goodish fifth sub for inevitable absences, and three playing forwards.
    How does
    Ramsdale, Foster
    Rudi, Cancelo, Duffy/Liv, White
    Salah Son Torres Raphina Townsend
    Lukaku Antonio Toney look?
    Leaves 0.1 itb!

    1. Bggz

      What about taa

    2. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like it. 2 out of 3 of Antonio, Son and TAA it seems.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for reply. Yes to fit TAA in Antonio would have to go to an ultra-cheap non-combatant forward, and then if Torres Cancelo etc don't play not enough on the bench. If I get in for Son then need another mid for less than 7.0 and don't fancy many of them. Chance of points for defenders better than that. If TAA comes back in good form could get for couple of transfers eventually.

  18. FCSB
    • 8 Years

    Ramsdale 4.0
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Duffy* Livramento
    Salah Foden Raphinha Mbeumo Luiz

    WC draft, best option:

  19. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Haven’t seen him in many teams, but what about Mason Mount? He’s now back from injury and Tuchel has publicly stated he has the best connection with Lukaku. Great fixtures, on set pieces and possibly also pens when Jorginho isn’t on the pitch. And his price is fair too.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I thought all that and then he didn’t play in the last game when he was supposed to be ready - so waiting to see him actually play.

      Have gone with only 2x Che and 2x City on my WC last week hoping one/two of Mount/Pulisic or Foden/Grealish make me excited soon.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe that’s a safer play on a WC - start with another mid priced midfielder and leave a CHE spot open to move for Mount once we see him start. Reckon Foden/Grealish worth a gamble for BUR this week?

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Fair call

      Still have him on my watchlist - he's a very dull choice but looks a good long termer. 137 points and 147 points with 13 attacking returns in the last 2 seasons with managed minutes. Reasonable to assume an uptick?

      One to put in and forget about if you don't mind tying up a Chelsea spot. Thinking he might possibly be my Benrahma replacement in a couple if I have money to burn.

    3. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If he plays and looks good I'm 100% getting him in for Norwich, probably for Jota..

    4. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very little on FFS with regards Mount in recent days. I w/c'd in week 7 and with structure in place Mount is my mid - priced mid. He looks uninspiring at least compared to Jota's threat and maybe Foden's too (but clearly minutes permitting). The fixtures though were enough for me to take that half gamble in the knowledge he can be swopped out for the other guys i've mentioned if Tuchel decides to step up his impersonation of Pep.

  20. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which seems better? On a WC.

    A: Jimenez + Mbuembo + Christensen
    B: Toney + ESR + Rudiger

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B with Mbeumbo instead of ESR if possible?

        Possible, but don't want to double up on Brentford players.

        1. Andy_Social

          I started with triple Brighton - they've served me well. Wouldn't be shy of shifting to triple Brentford now.

            Yeah, but Brighton are a relatively proven quantity in the top flight, whereas Brentford just in their first season. Always a risk their wheels will start coming off imo.

      Tough, both have players that I wouldnt want. Probably A.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Which players the one's you'd avoid from both?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Christensen from 1st, Smith Rowe from 2nd

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd avoid ESR myself unless he's a bench option and doubt Christensen too - would go Matip instead likely on the assumption he's all but nailed. Cheaper would be White of course and he could be a smart choice

      Jim Mbeumo Matip/White ?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, already have White. Matip a good shout too.

    The game isn’t setup for it (with how price changes work) but without the ability to make and reverse transfers 474873828820000234)77 times in a GW there’s not much to keep me engaged for an IB.

    Instead just here quietly stewing that I bought in Raphinha at GW7 despite thinking he probably misses GW8. I guess I thought they’d be more said about it before the GW7 deadline if it was likely. Oops.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah really gotta hate that feeling when you improve your team by finally getting around to signing a ridiculously underpriced player with fantastic fixtures

      1. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Could’ve done it GW9 instead and improved my team buying a different ridiculously underpriced player with fixtures who might actually play 2 games instead of 1.

        But I guess I’m doing this wrong.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          You could've gotten Edouard for GW4 and Hwang for GW7 as well - could've done a lot of things - but yeah improving your team by signing Raphinha is a massive problem alright, well worth quietly stewing over tbf

          1. Casual Player
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            It’s surprising to me you don’t understand how getting a player like Saka who will play both 7/8 and then getting Raphinha at 9 might be better than doing it the other way around.

    2. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Raph is a season keeper and could easily have returned last week not a bad decision at all...if you have a bench

      1. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah not bad, just bad timing

    This is going to be tough for non wildcard managers this week right?

    Team is

    Sanchez (steele)
    Taa rudiger livramento (coady shaw)
    Salah sarr jota saka (sissoko)
    Ronaldo antonio maupay

    Should i do shaw to cancelo and ronaldo to lukaku for a -4

    Or stick with ronaldo and do jota.to.someone?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Why not just give your email & password over to a third party & let them manage your team for you?

      There has to be a growing niche in the market for this type of service given the sheer amount of requests for managers outsourcing their FPL decision making

          I totally agree with him, mind. I refuse to do posters' thinking for them and just skim through the pages looking for the rare post that actually has an intelligent point to make or discuss.

        He is just asking a question.... or does everyone need to run thier question past you so it can be deemed worthy of posting?

        Just ignore it if you dont want to answer it.

        Sheesh.

        Whilst I agree with this in principle...what made you choose this specific post for this rant? Probably 90% of the posts on here are like this

          As much as I aspire to mate, I just can't cover 90% of the posts on FFS

          I mean, we all have limits

            Let's start with 10% and gi from there, hey?

    2. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Shaw to Cancelo this week, Ronaldo to Lukaku next week for Norwich. Jota has Watford and probably will play with Firmino back late from Brazil

    Thoughts on WC team

    Ramsdale Foster
    Dias Walker Laporte
    Salah Son Jota Docoure
    Antonio Lukaku Maupay

    Any player to change?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay.

      Too many CTY ds. Have TAA and a CHS d in there.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Maupay is alright this week, he has been sneaky good so far and has Norwhich next match but he'd have to become Toney after it. The rest I agree with, would definitely diversify the defense

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Would rather have Jimi, DCL or Bamford than Mpay.

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            For sure, problem is with Son in it's impossible to fit them in alongside Antonio and TAA

  26. as33
    • 8 Years

    Greenwood to Foden or Jota?

  27. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    good Morning everyone.
    I hear contradictory reports regarding Raphina.
    Twitter says he will not be flying back early but Leeds say he will be available next week.
    Can anyone enlighten me?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The Brazil manager appeared to me to make it clear that it's not up to Leeds. My guess is that he'll be back at Leeds before kick-off but in no condition to play - technically 'available'. I'm writing off him and probably Trent for GW9, forcing Duffy and Livramento (the less said about 3rd sub Bissouma the better) to take the strain.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you mate

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Officially, it looks like he wont be sent early. Whether Biesla is willing to still play him or not is different story.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        As above, thank you both

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Duffy (nor)
    B) Livra (LEE)
    C) Vardy (MUN)

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why the hell would you consider benching Vardy against 'can't keep a clean sheet' United?? 🙄

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just have a feeling that they will keep a CS and Vardy will blank. Based on gut feeling only.

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          United like to keep CS's when they're expected to concede but I think if you own Vardy you have to play him every week because all he needs is one chance so B

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Livra. Leeds always score.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Even with Raphinha out?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          You don't bench a premium, and you don't bench a player who faces Norwich, so by default it looks like him.

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah I guess you’re right. Livra stays with his CS points on the bench yet again.

        2. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Leeds are not a one man team. Will create a lot of scoring opportunities v STH.

    3. Bavarian
      • 6 Years

      easy B

    4. Peteex
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B.
      Madness Even to think benching Vardy out of those.

  29. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Thinking long term and assuming everyone fit, which pair:

    White and Lukaku
    James and Vardy

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      White and Lu.

  30. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    In the members stats area, when it says things like ‘chances conceded left flank’ does this mean left flank from the perspective of the defending or the attacking team?

    1. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Hey Jinswick, it's from the perspective of the defending team.
