Sofascore Premier League Penalty Takers: Who Is on Penalties at Every Club
Who takes the penalties at every club in Sofascore Premier League, 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 10
The surest penalty takers for Gameweek 10 are Jørgen Strand Larsen (Crystal Palace, 97%), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, 94%), Pascal Gross (Brighton & Hove Albion, 93%), Thiago Rodrigues (Brentford, 93%), Cole Palmer (Chelsea, 93%).
Duty is split at 2 clubs: Everton between James Garner and Thierno Barry; Liverpool between Alexander Isak and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Share = the part of the club's penalties our model expects each player to take in Gameweek 10, 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: Lewis Cook (AFC Bournemouth, 2026-11-05); Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, 2026-11-03); John McGinn (Aston Villa, 2026-10-31); Enzo Le Fee (Sunderland, 2026-10-31).
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.
| Club | Corners | Direct free kicks | Last penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFC Bournemouth | Lewis Cook, Marcus Tavernier | Marcus Tavernier | Lewis Cook |
| Arsenal | Declan Rice, Noni Madueke | Martin Ødegaard | Bukayo Saka |

Frequently asked questions
Why do penalty takers matter in Sofascore Premier League?
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.
