Why set pieces matter in FPL
Set pieces are among the most reliable sources of FPL points outside direct goal involvement. A player who takes corners and free-kicks generates assist opportunities on every set piece — regardless of their open-play involvement. Penalty takers are even more valuable: penalties are converted ~75% of the time, making them a near-guaranteed 5–6 point return each time one is awarded.
When a team earns a corner, the taker gets an assist if the ball directly leads to a goal. When a team earns a penalty, the taker gets a goal. Identifying who takes these set pieces before the season starts is one of the highest-ROI research tasks for any FPL manager.
FPL impact
Penalty takers add ~0.35 expected goals per GW via spot kicks. Corner specialists accumulate 0.10–0.18 expected assists per GW from routine delivery — invisible in the FPL stats but captured in Onside's v5 engine. When two players at the same price have similar form, the set-piece taker almost always wins on xA.
