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 😉
Players are listed in order of priority for each particular role –

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.
PLAYERS
TEAMS
Thanks for reading Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15. These tips were brought to you by Eddy and Flingy.
My new team:
De Gea – Gilks
Filipe Luis – Mariappa – Ferdinand – Coloccini – Van Aanholt – Coloccini
Sanchez – Mata – Tadic – Sigurdsson – Albrighton
Diego Costa – Rooney – Jovetic
I’ve whittled it down and I am on my final 3 teams, I just don’t now which one to go with, what do you think?
A.
De Gea/Myhill
Davies Debuchy Lovren (Wisdom, Dummett)
Yaya Erikksen Mata Fabregas (Albrighton)
Bojan Lukaku Rooney
B.
De Gea/Myhill
Davies Debuchy Luis (Wisdom, Van Aanholt)
Silva Erikksen Mata Hazard (Albrighton)
Bojan Lukaku Rooney
C.
De Gea/Myhill
Davies Debuchy Luis (Wisdom, Van Aanholt)
Henderson Mata Sanchez Fabregas (Siggy)
Bojan Lukaku Rooney
Sorry for the long post but I can’t decide what to do.
B
B. for me
B – For Me
I prefer C as that allows you to play a solid 352 if you ever want to bench Bojan.
But of course B is nice too…
Alright klads.. Can anyone tell me how to put pictures in my posts ?
I’m considering a RMT but aware that the picture format is so much easier to read / rate than the old school typing.
Cheers
Take a screenshot of your team and save it. Then select the image by clicking the ‘Browse’ button under the comment box.
Cheers Bihom.
I’m gonna give this a whirl a little later when i’m around for longer..
Dos any one know if El Ahmadi has had any game time for Villa ????
This set piece table has changed the way I am looking at my team.
Is Eriksen worth it over Tadic?
Also, should i get Austin over Jelly, considering the fact that Jelly would lose penalties if Brady is on the pitch (it is likely that Brady is benched because of arrival of Ings, but he is a brilliant player and it would be surprising not to see him in the first team)
West Brom have brought in two more backs today, Gamboa & Davidson. Further caution for those planning on Wisdom.
Thinking Wisdom and Gamboa will be rotated maybe? WB’s centerbacks were also recently injured including Lescott, and Wisdom can always fill in for the CB spot.
Hard to see Wisdom not playing any game. Would make this loan move pretty pointless.
