Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15
Ok then so we saw quite a few requests for an updated ‘Set-Piece takers’ list on the comments recently and it jogged our memory that we hadn’t done one and as ever we took notice and decided to take action. We had a quick look around the offices of FF247 and found Eddy and Flingy slumped in the corner playing cards and a light bulb came on! So suddenly Eddy became our roving reporter and was whisked around the world to see all of the pre-season friendlies he could manage in order to bring you the latest set-piece table, while we locked Flingy in a darkened room, with Google as his only friend, to bring you the stats on last seasons set-piece specialists. Enjoy…
Please find below the FF247 Set Piece Takers List for 2014/15. This list is a guide that we hope will help you select players that have the potential to bring in goals and crucial assist points. The table is based on information gathered from last season’s games, Opta stats, pre-season friendlies and FF247 community input.
The article itself is archived under the tab at the top of the page entitled Tips/News and is linked under the drop down box ‘FPL SET-PIECE TAKERS 2014-15’ so you can refer back to it at any time, as are many of our other articles and helpful tools such as Fixture Tracker and Weekly Tips.
Please be aware that this list is subject to change due to player injuries, drop in form, suspensions, manager whims, etc. The list will be updated throughout the season and as ever we welcome anybody in our community to inform us if you are aware of any updated roles or indeed anything you think we have got wildly inaccurate! You’re not perfect and neither are we 😉

So while Eddy was jet setting around the globe, Flingy was busy squirreling away to bring us the highlights of last season’s set-piece stats which are below for your perusal. The first deals with the players who had the ‘Most’ in each section. The second examines the teams themselves. We hope you find these both informative and helpful. There are obviously some players in there who are no longer with us (gone abroad, not died) and there are new players at some clubs who will take over some of these duties.

Thanks for reading Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15. These tips were brought to you by Eddy and Flingy.
Thanks Fellas, should help us for some of those tougher decisions, great as usual.
Evening all. Great work Eddy and Flingy, thank you! And also Cookie who did a lot to get this sorted tonight. Great info to have at our fingertips. Anyone finds a cheapo who does bugger all but ping in set plays and get assists let us know please!
not cheap, but tadic does sound appealing!!
Nice work Eddy!
Ok. Here we go. 1 or 2?!
1.
Krul Mannone
Shaw Cahill Debuchy Wisdom Bruce
Erikson Yaya Puncheon Sigurdsson Albrighton
Rooney Costa Giroud
——OR——
2.
Krul Mannone
Shaw FLuiz Debuchy Wisdom Bruce
Yaya Sanchez Puncheon Sigurdsson Henderson
Rooney Costa Naismith
…and what do you think, any good?!!
I like that first team, even if your bench is shite! 😉
I watched Hendo and Allen on Saturday as I went to the actual game. :hippo: it was Allen who pushed high up the pitch and Hendo sat deeper. One weird thing I noticed was Henderson took a free kick. It was terrible though, might be the last time he sees one.
Cheers Mito!
I’ll be paying a high risk game again this season.
Should be messy.
You sorted your team yet?
Team? I haven’t bothered even looking yet, registered and that was it. Won’t bother until Thursday or Friday next week.
I’d keep an eye on Giroud, he may not get the number one after the quad goals from Sanogo?
Awesome!! Thanks for putting this together Eddy, Flingy, and Cookie- this is great.
Yet another helpful article!!!!! thanks guys 😛
ozil for pens?
also, is this in ranking order?? just had a quick look and unless im mistaken yaya takes pens before sergio..?
Hazard, last time I recall Kun and Yaya on the pitch together it was Kun. You well could be right, but I am unaware of Yaya taking it with Kun in the game.
Pretty sure that’s right.
He doesn’t when Aguero is on the pitch. He got very lucky last season and had a run of City getting pens just after Aguero had gone off. Limping usually
Holy shit, look at those Caulker stats! If only he played in a better team, can’t make myself pay 5.0 for a QPR defender… (can’t afford it anyways ;P)
You had 2 million left over on one of your teams. Go back to that team and add Caulker to your side!!
I used those 2m to upgrade Dzeko to Costa :/
You’ve got a good memory though
