Gameweek 1 ; Team by Team set-piece takers

#GW1 #FPL

✅ Out-of-position (OOP) appeal at £4.5m: Listed as a defender but has been starting as a right-winger for Sunderland in pre-season.
✅ Pre-season form: Regular starter across friendlies (started 6/6 and finished 3/6 ) .
Played more minutes than almost anyone in Sunderland’s pre-season. Scored 2 in their last 2 games.
✅ Fixtures: Sunderland’s early run (IPS, FUL, BRE) : favourable for both clean sheets and attacking returns.
✅ Differential potential: Ownership still relatively low (below 10% )

❌ He played 7 games in advanced right-sided roles last season : only 1G+1A + 1CS

Is Trai Hume in your #GW1 squad ? 🤔

Make sure your team has at least one player from each of these teams!

😈 ManUtd : GW1 & GW2 opponents are newly promoted , so high scoring potential + clean sheet chances are expected.

🔫 Arsenal : COV (H) is one of the easiest fixtures on paper.
• Arteta home record vs newly promoted teams : 18 Wins, 2 Draws, 0 Defeats : Goals Conceded: 13 | Clean Sheets: 10 | Goals Scored: 54

🌑 Man City : Man City are expected to score the most goals in the first 6 GWs! You don't want to miss that!
