FPL 2026/27 Set Piece Takers

Set pieces turn cheap starters into useful FPL assets. This page tracks the roles that matter before GW1: penalties, corners, direct free kicks, and new signing disruption.

Penalties

The most direct route to cheap FPL upside.

Corners

Most useful for defenders and creative midfielders with minutes security.

Preseason check

Friendlies and early lineups can move this page faster than generic team news.

Set-Piece Audit Board
