FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List
Set-Piece SheetGW6Words: FPL Risky · Numbers: the FFIQ engine
The call —Pascal Groß takes everything for Brighton. Penalties. Free kicks. Corners. One player, all three jobs, £5.9m. The FPL taker sheets confirm it, and our model has him projected for roughly 50 points over the next six gameweeks — a shade more than Haaland, who costs £15.6m and sits in about 7 in 10 squads.

No duty changes flagged this week. So the sheet is the story.
The honest problem with Groß: he's not mine anymore. About 3 in 10 own him now. That's template territory and I don't love it. But £5.9m for a triple-duty midfielder our model rates top of the whole taker pool — the maths wins the argument. I called him pre-season when hardly anyone had him. Ledger says that one's paying out.
The ones still under the radar:
Saka, £9.6m, about 1 in 10. First on Arsenal penalties, shares free kicks and corners with Rice. Projected around 29 points over the next six — a solid 5-6 most weeks with the pen upside stacked on top. For an Arsenal attacker, that ownership is strange. I like strange.
Gibbs-White, £8.0m, roughly 1.5 in 10. First on Forest penalties and free kicks. Projected around 24 over six. Cheaper route into dead-ball points if the budget's tight.
Szoboszlai (£6.9m) holds Liverpool's pens, free kicks and corners but a third of the game owns him. Fernandes takes all three for United at £11.9m — fine, known, boring.
Now the trap list. These takers hold a role and are injured — do not buy: Palmer (muscular, Chelsea say 75% to play), Mateta (hamstring, back around 11 Oct), Kroupi Jr (foot, back early November), Osula (foot, no return date), Diarra (hamstring, no return date), Wright (thigh, no return date). A pen taker on the treatment table is worth nothing.
The call: buy Groß. He's the best points-per-pound taker in the game and the model agrees. If you want the version almost nobody has, Saka is my second pick and the one I'm backing myself. Both go in the ledger.
