Importance of Set-Pieces in FPL
This season has seen a significant increase in the proportion of goals coming from set-pieces, sparking discussion around their importance.
Historically, the number of set-piece goals per Premier League season has ranged from 200 to 250 over the last 10 full campaigns, with a peak of 255 in 2016/17 and a low of 197 in 2020/21.
As a percentage of total goals, set-piece goals have typically accounted for 20-21% in recent years, slightly lower than in the early part of the last decade.
This year, however, there has been a notable spike in set-piece goals, prompting the question: are set-piece takers and recipients more crucial than ever?
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.
