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.

TEAMS
Thanks for reading Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15. These tips were brought to you by Eddy and Flingy.
Thoughts on this lads? I think this is as good as i’m gonna get.
Very solid all the way through Burnsy.
Two bits I don’t like – Reid of West Ham. Will they be as solid as normal, they’ve not been great in preseason and someone like Davies of Spurs may be better.
And Zamora – not a fan, will he play? If not then you will always be reliant on Siggy and Tadic and if any of your bigger names are rested/rotated you may suffer.
Strong 12 players with Taylor and Ward there, however.
Thanks Cookie.
I’m currently looking for a Reid alternative who’s fixtures rotate well with the other but having no luck as of yet. Zamora will never be playing for me, he’s just there till team value allows me to have someone else.
Same front 7 (well, 8 actually) as me Burnsy!
Look good but Reid and Ward aren’t to my taste.
How does your rotation system work?
I tell a lie: I’ve gone for Sanchez.
Burnsy, have you gone through Mito’s fixture rotation article and table – there’s some cracking stuff in there where I think you’ll find what you’re looking for mate.

sorry, meant to reply to your post.
I’ll be honest that has been the basis to my whole back line, I can thank him enough for that, he really is the legend. I’ll have another look at it…
IN – Clyne, Mariappa, c.Davies, Huth.
OUT – Bardsley, Reid, Taylor, Ward.
What do you think of that?
because Swansea and Stoke rotate well, Taylor and your Stoke man are great.
How about then getting Rio or Caulker if you want to pay up to rotate with Ward?
I guess i could, but I feel Saints have a very strong opening run.
Taylor, Huth, Caulker, Clyne.
Happy with that and they both rotate.
nice defence that Burnsy – you may even get a Saints defender cheaper as we get more clarity of their starting line up
De Gea – Gilks
Filipe Luis – B. Davies – Ferdinand – Mariappa – Duff
Sanchez – Mata – Barkley – Sigurdsson – Albrighton
Rooney – Diego Costa – Jovetic
0.5 in the bank.
Hi Mighty, lovely team right there, very well balanced. I’m still to be convinced on Barkley both in terms of production and game-time due to Martinez rotating a lot but other than that I like it a lot and Barkley may be a good shout.
Hello Mighty Whites,
pretty solid team – I may be tempted to have Tadic instead of Barkley, although I know there is a lot of love for Barkley out there.
Do you have Tadic Cookie?
I’ve had him in one of my drafts!! I personally would have him over Barkley, certainly at the start.
Ok thanks. Why Tadic though? Is he a goalscoring midfielder?
he scores, assists, saves penalties, makes the coffee…does everything – better than Lalllana they reckon. Not my words before the Scousehampton fans get all emotional.
Apparently he is better than Lallana…..at making coffee
didn’t take long to get a bite – no surprise – “one crocodile sandwich for Migs pls”
How would I make 0.5 for Tadic Cookie? I’ve got 0.5 in the bank but that’s a safety amount for Jovetic incase he doesn’t play.
I’d just spend the money in the bank, Mighty – you can’t take it with you as my gran used to say.
Ok. What if Jovetic doesn’t play? What’s your team Cookie?
Mighty looking at the fixtures I’d maybe keep Barkley for GW1 and switch for Tadic in GW2 onwards. Fancy Barkley v Leicester more than Tadic v Liverpool but then Southampton’s fixtures are great and Everton’s are poor after that week.
Whites,
This is what I have at the moment
Cheers Init. Any improvements you’d make?
I’d probably get Tadic! Other than that I guess you’ve already perused the whole set of defenders to see if that 0.5 could improve any and found it doesn’t?
Ok thanks. Who are your stikers Init? You think I should keep that 0.5 saved for if Jovetic doesn’t start?
Yes probably keep that back for now. I’ve got Rooney and Costa + 1 at the minute! I threw Zamora in as a space filler but obviously won’t be going with him. Maybe Jovetic, maybe Bojan. Just waiting to see how the rest of pre-season pans out really.
Thoughts and feelings please!
Again another good team here Simms. I’m still unsure on Wisdom’s minutes once this new full back who’s name I can never remember gets himself sorted but the rest looks good. I’m not a fan of Jones. I’m not saying don’t pick him I’m just saying I’m not a fan of Jones.
identical twins don’t always get on, don’t let it worry you
I don’t particularly like him either but surely he’s the best 5.5m chance at clean sheets for the first 6 weeks…
And I don’t really have an option with wisdom unless anyone has any bright ideas
My Team
Mannone Krul
Luis Debuchy Mariappa Vlaar Bruce
Hazard Ramsey Eriksen Sigurdsson Boyd
Costa Rooney Jovetic
Comments?
Nice team Sheik,
Keep a watchful eye on the Sunderland keeper situation as it seems that Panty has the upper hand at the mo.
Likewise keep track of Vlaar, while Bruce’s gametime is not guaranteed.
The rest I like mate
Bruce and Blyd are just so i can save some cash for other players. For Vlaar, isn’t he first choice at Villa Park? But anyways, I’ll play 3-4-3.
