Who should take the penalties?

[Tactician]

I don't select strikers as they have this little problem of not scoring much, for over 5 seasons I have my Star mr/ AMR Neymar taking the penalty's but if is not him I put any midfielder in form to do it.

But the striker not scoring issue has been solved or not?

My STs have been scoring decently in the past 2 seasons. By the way, my first penalty taker is a ST too. In the last 2 seasons, he missed twice. Once, he was not present on the field, and a non- penalty assigned DC took the responsibility and he scored.

But, my best penalty taker was an AML/AMC/AMR. This was during 2015. He missed only once during the time that I used him (2 seasons or so), and the match where he missed was a match that seemed to be a fixed or trolled match.

I think there is something else involved when it comes to scoring penalties and free-kicks other than skills required and the random if effect if any.
