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.

TEAMS
Thanks for reading Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15. These tips were brought to you by Eddy and Flingy.
I know my subs are weak, but ime going to put all my money in my starting 11 and see if I can get an early lead. I’ll probably wild card early when I see how all the teams turn out .
‘Im going to see if I can get an early lead’. That’s a statement of intent if ever I heard one Ant! Pull away from the 3m and see if we can catch you? Like your confidence 😉
Young and Campbell are different but Young at that price could be gold if he nails a place and kicks on. How much is Campbell?
5.5m mate.
Well he’s cheap enough then! If you fancy him then go for it. Maybe not the ideal first game is all I’d add?
Nope I agree, but decent run of fixtures after that.
Anyone at that price with a good GW1 then switch him straight in?
Bojan?
Exactly who I was thinking…
I’m only going to have the maximum of 16.5 m sitting on my bench as well to start this season, if I can find basement bargain players that will play before the 16th then all’s well and good and if not…. well tough I’m still getting 4 cheapos.
Rather than planning an early WC, I’ll more than likely be taking hits early on, maybe trying to boost that TV early doors by taking advantage of a bus or two, my reasoning is that if the likes of :-
Yaya
Hazard
Sturridge
Sanchez
(Most are already taking Rooney + Costa)
Take off early on most people will be having to hit or WC to get them in anyways and at the minute I can only really afford Sanchez from that four. I’m not going to be taking the rotation road this season, I’m going to try and have all my chips on the table.
Am I mad to be thinking of this for gw 1?
Lot of eggs in one basket there bench !! Could end up with them on your face !!
very true Brooky , but it may also be a bumper points to kick of with , tho i was just tinkering and very much doubt i will risk the kind of team , unless i have cookie in my first banterbury game
Not too different from what I’ve got Bench but I’ve managed to get Sterling in instead of Young, Chambers looks a bargain at 4.5 if Merts is out and Vermaelen leaves (Barca have made a offer I think) but the Charity Shield will be a good indicator on how Arsenal will line up next weekend.
Without giving too much of my team away, here are my base players. Is there anything I should know or any recommendations?
Silverback-
I flicked you an email yesterday, sorry about the delay.
BTW I’m going to go for the early WC if I stick with the 3 Villa players.
Hi PvR are these post it’s all over good evening mate
Hey mate, how’s things?
Nothing expensive underneath, just my big POD’s as such. Atleast they were until yesterday and everyone realised what a bargain Ashley is.
PVR -3 players are blocked out
PvR points are made in MF & Fwd why use wild card early don’t be afraid to use two subs you need to keep eye on values
I want to try and get a good start, and then I wan’t to be able to bring in Sturridge and anyone else that looks good around gw4.
Is Fabianski nailed as Swansea Keeper?
Think so.
Seems to be which is somewhat harsh on Tiendelli
You mean Tremmel? Tiendalli is the right back. 😉
I do indeed
Huddersfield 2-2 Newcastle
(Riviere 16) – Assist Gouffran
(Cabella 88) – Assist Perez
Cabella been on the scoresheet a bit it seems
Athlone Town 0-2 QPR
Zamora – Assist – Wright-Phillips
Austin – Assist – Zamora
Keep them coming Jeet it’s all much appreciated!
