Based on the 2022/23 Premier League season so far, we highlight the key set-piece takers for each of the 20 top-flight teams.
Targeting set-piece takers can be key for success across the fantasy football campaign.
They are the players directly involved in good opportunities to score - whether it be through a chance for a shot on goal or providing a cross into a dangerous area.
Penalty takers are also key. Not only for those fantasy football assets carrying a big price tag - further justifying using a significant part of the budget - but it also uncovers those who have a lower selection percentage.

Two of last season's top-three points scorers were set-piece takers. Mohamed Salah was on spot kick duty for Liverpool while Trent Alexander-Arnold was on free-kicks and corners.
Having a few players involved in set-pieces is vital for a strong performing fantasy football team - the more the better - as long as they can make a big enough contribution.
We highlight the key set-piece takers for each Premier League team below, updating as the season progresses and any potential changes are made.
