Premier League Free-Kick & Penalty Takers 2023/24: Handy guide for influencing your bets and FPL teams

Whether you're frantically scouring the ante-post markets or assembling those last-minute fantasy football teams, knowing which players may get better opportunities to score goals becomes crucial knowledge for gaining an edge over the bookies or over your mates.
Inside this handy guide, we round up the free-kick and penalty takers for all 20 Premier League clubs ahead of the 2023/24 season, and also detail who struck most from the penalty spot and direct free-kick situations in the division last term.
Last campaign, seven of Erling Haaland's Premier League goal haul were converted from the penalty spot - making him the division's deadliest threat from just about anywhere in the 18-yard area.
New Liverpool recruit Alexis Mac Allister sent home six strikes from 12 yards, as did Brentford's Ivan Toney, who will miss eight months of action after admitting to 232 breaches of the Football Association's betting rules.
Harry Kane (5), Aleksandar Mitrovic (4), Saïd Benrahma (4) and Callum Wilson (3) were also significant names high up in the penalty conversion chart.
Moving on to free-kicks, the relegated James Ward-Prowse tucked away three for 20th-placed Southampton last season, with West Ham reportedly prepared to bring him back to the English top flight this term.
Spurs' £40m signing James Maddison scored two himself in another relegated side, while Ivan Toney produced two moments of brilliance from this particular dead ball situation.
