Penalty taker

Penalty kick taker specialist ability= utter useless

My penalty taker has never been a penalty kick taker specialist, I pick the player with the best attacking stats and scores about 9/10 of penalties

does anybody know if shooting or finishing is more important for penalty takers that are not penalty specialists?

i have my Goalkeeper as first on penalty, always score, because he v got highest shooting on skills

that's the point..the best shooting ability..the rest are Nord crap..

PK specialists are very useless...

I put my GK as penalty taker and he convert the spot all the time...

Penalty Ability > Finishing/Shooting > Attack skill points.

I agree with above. Besides, I bias to use strikers. Furthermore, as I remember, someone suggested not to use free kick specialist to take penalty.

I take all above for reference for assigning penalty specialist. I may lower a player in penalty list if a players is in exceptional bad form, or consistently failed in taking penalty.

Best player to take penalty are consistent performers. Anyone who takes a 6 form or below have high chance missing penalty regardless of skill or SA.

In real life some prolific strikers are horrible at taking penalties.

Jackson Martinez is a huge example.

IRL freekick and penalty kicks are mainly about physical strength, just having a heavier body and foot have a huge advantage.

Meaning small and agile strikers are unsuitable by default. Training may close the gap but more often it don't.
