FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List

FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List

This is the version of FPL Penalty And Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: The Full List from 19 September 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →

The call — Every dead ball at Brighton goes through one man. Pascal Groß. Penalties. Free kicks. Corners. All his, first name on all three lists per FPL's own taker orders. He costs £5.7m. Our model has him down for roughly 60 points across the next six gameweeks — comfortably the best return-per-pound on this whole sheet.

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.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

He's owned by about 2 in 10. Not the hidden stuff I usually deal in. Noted. But when the numbers are this lopsided, I don't argue with them.

The rest of the sheet, quickly. Bruno Fernandes is the same story at United — pens, frees, corners, everything — but he's £12.0m and about 4 in 10 already have him. You're not gaining anything there. Haaland keeps City's penalties; roughly 7 in 10 own him, so he's furniture, not a pick. Palmer is on Chelsea pens and shares free kicks with James — £9.7m, about 3 in 10, fine if you want him, but our model has him well behind Groß over the next six.

Two cheaper ones worth logging. Calvert-Lewin is first-choice penalty taker at Leeds at £6.0m — about 2.5 in 10 own him, and the projections like him more than his price suggests. Gibbs-White takes Forest's pens and free kicks at £8.0m with roughly 1.5 in 10 ownership. Closest thing to a proper under-the-radar taker on this sheet. He's on my watchlist, not my team. Yet.

Do not touch the injured takers. Mateta holds Palace pens but is out with a hamstring until mid-October. Kroupi Jr has Bournemouth's pens and a foot injury until November. Wright (Coventry), Osula (Newcastle) and Diarra (Sunderland) all hold duties with no return date. Roles mean nothing from the treatment table.

One curiosity for the ledger: Semenyo is listed second on City pens and Marmoush second at Spurs. Backup pens rarely pay. Ignore.

I called Groß value in his Brighton pomp and I was right then. Same shape here: cheap, takes everything, projections back it.

The call: buy Groß at £5.7m. One transfer, no hit needed. Everything else on this page is either priced in or owned by the template already.
