FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List
Set-Piece SheetGW4Words: FPL Risky · Numbers: the FFIQ engine
This is the version of FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List from 11 September 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →
The call — Bruno Fernandes takes every dead ball at Old Trafford. Penalties, free kicks, corners — all his, with Mbeumo second in line for the lot. That's why our model has him top of the taker list: 51 points projected over the next six. Fine. But nearly half of you own him already, ~4-5 in 10. No edge there. Same story with…

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Here's what the sheet actually gives you.
Pascal Groß. £5.6m. First choice on penalties, free kicks AND corners at Brighton. Under 2 in 10 own him. Our model projects 38 points from him over the next six gameweeks — that's within touching distance of Haaland's 38.6, at a third of the price. A midfielder who takes everything usually gives you a steady 4-6 most weeks and the odd big haul when a pen or a set-piece assist lands. That's the buy. The honest caveat: he's not a goal machine, so his massive weeks are rarer than a striker's — you're buying reliability and dead-ball volume at a price that frees up your budget elsewhere.
The nearly-nobody pick: Saka. ~1 in 10 own him. On Arsenal's pens ahead of Gyökeres, shares free kicks and corners with Rice, projected 26 over six. If you want the genuinely unowned route, that's it — though the model rates him below Groß, and I don't argue with the order.
Quick housekeeping on takers you should NOT touch right now: Mateta (hamstring, back around 11 Oct), Kroupi Jr (foot, early November), Osula, Diarra and Coventry's Wright all hold roles but are sidelined. Leave them.
My ledger says the cheap set-piece monopolist pays off more often than the expensive shared-duty star. Groß is the cleanest version of that on this sheet.
The call: buy Groß at £5.6m. Saka if you want the 1-in-10 shout. Skip the template takers.
