Read Goal's guide of who will be taking the vital spot-kicks in the Premier League this season to boost your Fantasy Football scores
If you're serious about Fantasy Football, you might be considering stacking your team with the best set-piece takers ahead of VAR's first season in the Premier League.
So who are the best penalty takers across the English top-flight to sign for your team? Goal takes a look.
This year's penalty takers should largely be the same as last season's, with the exception of the three newly-promoted clubs in Aston Villa, Norwich and Sheffield United.
The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette look set to resume their roles as Arsenal's primary spot-kick shooters.
While James Milner has been Liverpool's leading man with penalties, having scored three from three in 2018-19, he could be set to have a smaller role this season as he enters the latter stages of his career.
Mohamed Salah (who also scored three penalties from three last season) is an obvious choice for backup spot-kick duty or as an alternate first choice instead of Milner, while Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are also available.
Chelsea will be dealing with the biggest change, with leading penalty taker Eden Hazard having left for Real Madrid this summer - meaning second-choice taker Jorginho could take his place.
Frank Lampard has yet to decide his new backup taker, though Willian is a standout pick – but Christian Pulisic could also be another option. Tammy Abraham's return to Chelsea from a loan spell with Aston Villa gives them another boost, though it does mean that the Villans will be left without their main taker.
Captain Jack Grealish could pick up those duties, or Jonathan Kodjia.
Norwich had difficulties successfully converting their penalties last season and rotated spot-kick duties, though Mario Vrancic seems to be the primary taker for now.
Sebastian Haller looks likely to be named West Ham's penalty taker after Mark Noble, having slotted in 23 of his 24 penalties taken in his Bundesliga career.
Crystal Palace's Luka Milivojevic is sure to resume spot-kick duties for the Eagles once again this season, following last year's campaign that saw him score 10 out of 11 penalties.

Mata is better penalty takers than Pogba. Every time I see Pogba penalty I will hide my face and only put my ears waiting to hear the commentators talking it’s goal or not goal. I don’t have 100% trust on him when come to penalty

All those mentioned to be taking Chelsea spot kick.. Jorginho, William and Pullisic.. I don't think either of them would do that unless Barkley is not in the pitch.. Barkley takes a kind of Lamps Penalty kick when he was playing... No nonsense penalty.. so I guess it will be Barkley's job this season.
