The call —Set-Piece Sheet: The Penalty List Nobody Read Properly Chris Wood takes Forest's penalties. First choice, ahead of Gibbs-White. He costs £6.0m and almost nobody owns him — fewer than 2 managers in every 100. That's the whole article, really. But let's do it properly.
No taker changes flagged this week. The sheet is stable. Haaland is on Manchester City's spot kicks, Fernandes takes everything at United — pens, free kicks, corners, probably the half-time raffle. Palmer keeps Chelsea's penalties. Isak is first in line at Liverpool. Saka shares Arsenal duties with Gyökeres on pens and takes corners with Rice.
All fine players. All priced like it. Haaland at £15.5m with about 7 in 10 owning him gives you nothing on the field — he's the tax everyone pays. Fernandes at £12.0m, nearly 5 in 10. Our projections have both around 31 points over the next six weeks. Good. Expensive. Crowded.
The interesting names sit lower. Palmer — £9.5m, only about 1 in 10 own him, projected 28.6 over six. Penalties plus the whole Chelsea attack running through him. Isak at £9.0m, roughly 1 in 10 and a half, on Liverpool's spot kicks, projected 25.5. Saka at £9.5m, about 1 in 10, corners and shared pens, 23.5. Any of these three works if you've got the money and want to be slightly clever.
But Wood. £6.0m. Penalties at a Premier League club. Projected 22.5 points over six weeks — a point per week behind Saka at £3.5m less, and you can find him in about one team in fifty. That's a forward slot filled for pocket change while everyone else pays £9m-plus for the same job. The caveat is honest: he's a penalty-and-poacher forward, so on his day he goes big and on a quiet day he blanks. He won't carry your team. He'll bankroll it.
Two warnings before you go. Kroupi Jr holds Bournemouth's penalties but has a foot injury with no return date — do not buy him. Same for Coventry's Wright, out with a thigh problem, timeline unknown.
I called Mateta at similar ownership two seasons back. Ledger says that one paid. This has the same shape: nailed penalties, tiny ownership, silly price.
The call: buy Wood at £6.0m. If you're spending big instead, it's Palmer over Saka. But Wood is the pick.
