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 1 October 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →

The call — Set-Piece Sheet: One Name Does Everything at Brighton Pascal Groß takes Brighton's penalties. And their free kicks. And their corners. First choice on all three. Nobody else in the league has that monopoly — the sheet confirms it. That matters. Every dead ball Brighton win runs through one £5.8m midfielder. Our projections make him the best taker-value in the game…

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.

The quieter one is Saka. Penalties at Arsenal now — he shares the sheet with Gyökeres but he's first name on it — plus free kicks and corners. £9.5m, and only about 1 in 10 have him. Usually good for 4-5, can go big when Arsenal click. That's my kind of player. Gibbs-White is similar at Forest — pens, free kicks, £8.0m, roughly 1.5 in 10 owning. Noted. Filed.

Haaland keeps City's penalties. About 7 in 10 own him. Nothing for me there.

Housekeeping on the sheet: six takers hold a role but are hurt, so don't chase them. Palmer (muscular, 75% to play), Mateta (hamstring, back mid-October), Kroupi Jr (foot, November), plus Wright, Osula and Diarra with no return dates. A role on paper is worthless if the legs aren't on the pitch.

The call: buy Groß. The ownership stings but the output doesn't care. If you want the contrarian version — and you should — take Saka alongside him and get in before the crowd does. I'll log both.
