FPL Penalty & Set-Piece Takers 2026/27: Updated After GW3

The short answer

GW3 is complete, so the penalty/set-piece tracker should no longer contain 'reassess after Arsenal-Chelsea' or 'reassess after Everton-Man United' placeholders.

Strongest new GW3 evidence

Enzo Le Fée converted Sunderland's late penalty at Brentford.

That is meaningful competitive evidence and should carry more weight than preseason assumptions.

Chelsea

Arsenal-Chelsea did not produce new penalty evidence strong enough to change the existing hierarchy.

Keep the established order unless later competitive evidence says otherwise.

Manchester United

Everton-Man United likewise did not provide a new penalty event that forces a hierarchy change.

Mbeumo's open-play goal is important for his FPL outlook, but it is not penalty evidence.

How to rank evidence

Use:

1. competitive penalty taken,
2. manager/player confirmation,
3. repeated set-piece role,
4. preseason only as a lower-confidence signal.

OneFPL verdict

Le Fée is the main new GW3 penalty update. The Sunday matches mostly confirm rather than rewrite the current table.

FAQ

Who took Sunderland's latest penalty?

Enzo Le Fée converted it at Brentford in GW3.

Should preseason penalties still matter?

They are useful when there is no competitive evidence, but league/cup evidence should rank higher.
