The call —Set-Piece Sheet: One Name Owns Everything at BrightonPascal Groß takes Brighton's penalties, their free kicks and their corners. Every dead ball, one man. He's £5.8m and our model has him down for 60-plus points over the next six weeks — the best number on this entire sheet. About 2 in 10 own him. Too many for my taste, but…

Now the interesting stuff.
No taker changes flagged by FPL this week. The sheet is stable. What it does show: Fernandes takes everything at United — pens, frees, corners — and about 4 in 10 already know it. Haaland is on City's pens, 7 in 10 own him, nothing to say. Saka shares Arsenal pens with Gyökeres and takes free kicks and corners; only about 1 in 10 own him at £9.5m, which is quietly odd for a player usually good for 5-6 a week. Gibbs-White is Forest's first pen and first free kick at £8.0m, under 2 in 10 owners.
Quick housekeeping on takers you can't buy right now: Kroupi Jr (Bournemouth pens, foot, back November), Palmer (Chelsea pens, muscular, Chelsea say 75% for the weekend), Mateta (Palace pens, hamstring, back mid-October), plus Wright, Osula and Diarra with no return dates. Hold roles, can't kick balls. Leave them alone.
My pick is IgorThiago. Brentford's first-choice penalty taker, £7.8m, and fewer than 1 in 10 own him. Our model has him around 23 points over the next six — a steady 4-a-week base before you price in the pens, and strikers on spot kicks go big on their day. The caveat is real: that projection trails Groß badly, and Brentford aren't Brighton. But Groß is a 2-in-10 player. Thiago isn't.
My ledger says back the taker nobody owns. Buy Thiago.
