FPL notes: Iraola on his penalty takers + why Bruno was given an assist

This table displays a list of expected set-piece and penalty takers for each Premier League side, with the players listed in order of prominence at dead-ball situations.

They are based on a mix of information gathered from last season’s matches, Opta statistics, pre-season friendlies and also the player’s role at previous clubs and predicted role at new sides.

The list will be updated constantly as new information becomes available on assigned set-piece takers. It will also be refreshed throughout the season as roles chop and change.
