Thinking about it now, there aren't that many good free kick takers around anymore in general, at least not in the PL. You have JWP and nobody else really stands out. Maybe it's me but it feels like you had a lot more back in the day.

Kane is the go to guy for Penalties.

But for outfield FKs...why not try...........
Ndombele?
He's got to be good at something, and taking a kick doesn't demand a lot of energy.

to be fair there were

just thinking about it by team:

Arsenal - Henry,
Man Utd - Beckham,
Chelsea - Lampard
Liveprool - Gerrard

I know there's a huge spread of years between some of these players but that's literally off the top of my head

Best ever......Ronaldinho.

If you look at the Prem League website, apparently this is of all time:

1. Sebastian Larsson 11
2. James Ward-Prowse 10
3. Cristiano Ronaldo 9
4. Christian Eriksen 8
4. Juan Mata 8
6. Morten Gamst Pedersen 7
6. Steven Gerrard 7
6. Wayne Rooney 7
6. Gylfi Sigurdsson 7
10. Mikel Arteta 6
10. Leighton Baines 6
10. Didier Drogba 6
10. Robert Snodgrass 6
10. Robin van Persie 6
10. Ashley Young 6

So, JWP’s four last season is actually very impressive for one season.

I do find some of those days quite unbelievable though.

Juninho from Lyon has to easily be better. Freekick was like a penalty when he got it. Far better than all those listed tbh.
