Why Penalty Roles Matter
In fantasy football, a player with spot-kick duties often carries bonus value, especially when their club regularly earns penalties. But it’s not just about who finishes from 12 yards. It’s about knowing who’s trusted in pressure moments.
Here’s why it matters:
- Extra Goal Potential: Forwards who also take penalties can outperform similarly priced players without set piece duties.
- Stable Minutes = Stable Points: Clubs often avoid rotating their primary taker unless injured or suspended.
- Backup Penalty Takers: In multi-taker squads like Real Madrid, spot-kick order can shift based on matchday status or managerial decisions.
