Sofascore LaLiga Penalty Takers: Who Is on Penalties at Every Club
Who takes the penalties at every club in Sofascore LaLiga, and how sure that is. A nailed penalty taker has a much higher points ceiling than a similar player without spot-kick duty.
For each club we show the model's first-choice taker and the next in line, with the share of the club's penalties each is expected to take this round. The share moves when the regular taker is injured, rested or suspended, so it always reflects who is expected on the pitch.
Below that: who took each club's most recent corners, direct free kicks and penalties, from match data.
Penalty takers for every club - Gameweek 12
The surest penalty takers for Gameweek 12 are Lucas Cepeda (Elche, 100%), Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid, 93%), Ante Budimir (Osasuna, 92%), Roberto Fernández (Espanyol, 89%), Pepelu (Valencia, 87%).
Duty is split at 3 clubs: Athletic Club between Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet; Rayo Vallecano between Jorge de Frutos and Isi Palazon; Sevilla between Jon Guridi and Isaac Romero.
Share = the part of the club's penalties our model expects each player to take in Gameweek 12, given who is expected to play. It is a projection, recomputed as team news lands, not a count of penalties already taken.

Set-piece takers: corners, free kicks and penalties
Who actually took each club's set pieces most recently, from match data: the last corner takers (up to two - most clubs use one per side), the last direct free-kick shooter and the last penalty taker. Penalty shootouts are left out.
Most recent penalties: Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid, 2026-11-01); Alex Berenguer (Athletic Club, 2026-11-01); Jonathan Dubasin (Osasuna, 2026-10-29); Gerard Fernandez (Sevilla, 2026-10-29).
This is what happened on the pitch, not a projection. The penalty table above is the model's view of who takes the next one; when the two disagree, the regular taker was usually off the pitch.

|---|---|---|---|
| Athletic Club | Alex Berenguer, Robert Navarro | Alex Berenguer | Alex Berenguer |

Frequently asked questions
Why do penalty takers matter in Sofascore LaLiga?
Penalties are high-probability goals. A first-choice penalty taker adds a reliable source of points and raises a player's ceiling, making him more valuable than a similar player without spot-kick duty.
What does the penalty share mean?
The share of his club's penalties a player is expected to take in the round. 90% means he is the clear taker; two players near 50% means the duty is genuinely shared, or that the usual taker may not start.
