Players on penalty, free-kick and corner duty — maximum dead-ball goal and assist threat.
Starting XI, captain doubled, for the current squad — not a forecast of who will actually start.

Ranks outfield players by overall dead-ball responsibility across all three FPL set-piece duties — penalties, direct free-kicks and corners — using each player's published taking order (1 = first-choice) for every duty. A player on multiple first-choice duties scores highest: maximum goal, assist and bonus exposure from dead balls. Penalties weigh heaviest in the combined duty score since they score directly, then free-kicks, then corners. Blended with form, attacking involvement, minutes reliability and points-per-£m value. FPL publishes taking orders before a ball is kicked, so this template is meaningful pre-season. Goalkeepers never take set pieces, so they're ranked on season points value and ownership instead.
