All updates come from who takes penalties, free kicks and corners for all Premier League teams as the season goes on. If a player is no longer on set pieces, or someone else starts taking penalties, it’ll be reflected in this list.
Nailed penalty takers have been highlighted, based on both recent and historical data. If a team doesn’t have a highlighted penalty taker, there’ll be a few potential options that may rotate. Free kick and corner takers are listed by priority, based on volume of free kicks/corners taken.
We’ve also listed the aerial threats of every team – players who are on the end of set pieces. This is based on the number of shots takes from set pieces over the course of the season, as well as historical data.
