Importance of Set-Pieces in FPL
This season has seen a significant increase in the proportion of goals scored from set-pieces, prompting the question: are set-piece takers and recipients more crucial than ever?
A review of the last 10 full Premier League campaigns reveals that set-piece goals have fluctuated between 200-250 per season, with a high of 255 in 2016/17 and a low of 197 in 2020/21.
As a percentage of total goals, set-pieces have accounted for around 20-21% in recent years, slightly lower than in the early 2010s.
However, this season has seen a notable spike in set-piece goals, exceeding previous trends.
are set-piece takers – and those on the end of dead-ball deliveries – more important than ever?
Author's summary: Set-pieces are increasingly important in FPL this season.
