Fantasy football and Serie A penalty takers: set kick and free kick takers

Set pieces, and especially penalties, have always been one of the keys to building a competitive squad: knowing how to identify the right specialists can make the difference in fantasy football. With the second round ready to get underway, it becomes essential to monitor the news of the winter market and the new, or consolidated, eleven-meter hierarchies to best strengthen your team in the second part of the season. Now making mistakes is no longer allowed. In the first half of the championship (up to and including the 22nd matchday) they were assigned 70 penalties, 16 of which were missed. Pisa is the team that has obtained the most penalties (6), while Lecce and Cagliari have stopped at one each. Leading the ranking of the infallibles is Kevin De Bruynethree out of three before the long injury, along with Vlasic, Gudmundsson And Davis. Same loot for specialists like Calhanoglu And Orsoliniwho however failed once from the spot. In fact, from eleven metres, there has been no shortage of errors even from expert footballers such as Pulisic And Yildiz, Dybala And Nico Paz. Also for this reason the hierarchies, in some cases not well defined, have often been mixed up, generating confusion both on the pitch and among the fantasy coaches. The recurring question is: who will take the next penalty? After over 20 days of the championship, here is a team-by-team analysis of the set-piece specialists, to better guide the choices in view of the repair auctions and new signings at the Fantasy championship Journal.
