Whether it’s for DFS, fantasy soccer contests or goalscorer betting inspiration, knowing who takes penalties for specific EPL teams can prove to be invaluable.
Soccer bettors from across the United States were quick to wager on penalty scorers and first goalscorer bets at the 2022 World Cup after it was revealed who took penalties for every nation. From Argentina’s Lionel Messi to Salem Al-Dawsari of Saudi Arabia.
