When a player is a nailed-on penalty or set piece taker, it makes them a potentially massive prospect in FPL. The chances of a piece of magic from a free kick, or a late penalty, can turn an uneventful blank into a double-digit haul. It gives these players an even greater chance of returning a goal or an assist on any given gameweek.
Here’s a list of the penalty and piece takers – including both corners and free kicks – for all Premier League sides in the 2019/20 FPL season.
This will be updated as the season goes on, so make sure to check back whenever you’re looking to pick up a penalty taker or one of the league’s finest set piece takers as your next Fantasy Premier League transfer. First choice penalty takers have been highlighted, with them being the more nailed-on choices for spot kicks.
All updates will stem from who is regularly taking set pieces and penalties for each team as time goes on. If the penalty taker changes or someone loses ownership of free kicks, it’ll be reflected in this list.
