Importance of Set-Pieces in FPL
This season has seen a notable increase in the proportion of goals scored from set-pieces, prompting the question of whether set-piece takers and recipients of dead-ball deliveries are more crucial than ever.
A review of the data from the last 10 full Premier League campaigns reveals that the number of set-piece goals has generally ranged from 200 to 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-piece goals have accounted for around 20-21% in recent years, slightly lower than in the early part of the last decade. However, this season has seen a spike in this percentage.
