Set pieces + penalties: All 20 Premier League clubs' takers - updated

36 minutes ago

We had our first proper look at each team's main set-piece takersin Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL). Since then, however, we've seen new signings arrive, players return from injury and new set-play pretenders come to the fore.

So, in this piece, we look back on who was on dead-ball duties in Gameweeks 2-5. As well as providing a table of all 20 Premier League clubs' corner, free-kick and penalty takers, we'll discuss any notable changes from our last article.

GAMEWEEKS 2-5: PENALTY AND SET PIECE TAKERS Based on the official Opta data in our Members Area, here is a breakdown of the latest round of matches.

Saka's penalty-taking prospects are boosted by the lack of game-time given to Viktor Gyokeres (£7.1m),with whom he job-shared last season. Also staying on penalties is Enzo Le Fee (£5.7m).

Despite a miss from 12 yards in Gameweek 4, he was back successfully converting spot-kicks in the subsequent UEFA Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar. As pretty much expected, Yoane Wissa (£6.2m) and Pascal Gross (£5.8m) stepped up after the summer exits of last season's penalty takers.

Wissamissed his effort in Gameweek 5,of course. Morgan Gibbs-White (£8.0m) got the nod over Liam Delap (£5.6m) and Igor Jesus (£5.8m) when Nottingham Forest were awarded a penalty in Gameweek 2, although Chris Wood (£5.8m) was off the field at the time.

In the cups, Jorgen Strand Larsen (£6.0m) and Victor Torp (£5.3m) took spot-kicks for Crystal Palace and Coventry City. With Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m), Jean-Philippe Mateta (£6.3m) and Haji Wright (£5.4m) all absent, however, those two may still be far from first choices.

ENZO INTO THE EQUATION AT CITY Enzo Fernandez (£6.9m) got off the mark for Manchester City with a well-taken direct free-kick in Gameweek 5. It marked a busy afternoon of set-piece duties for the Argentine international, who was on corner-taking duties from both sides against Sunderland.

Those were the first corners he'd taken in a City shirt since his move. Elliot Anderson (£6.3m), who'd taken at least one corner in all four preceding Gameweeks, took a backsheat at dead-ball situations.
