These tables display a list of expected set piece takers for each Premiership side. These are a based on a mix of information gathered from last season matches, pre-season friendlies and also the a player’s role at previous clubs.
The list will be updated constantly as new information becomes available on assigned set piece takers. It will also be updated throughout the season as roles chop and change.
Players are listed in order of priority for the given role eg: the first name in the penalty/direct free kick takers list is the preferred taker. For corners and free kicks the first two players are those normally employed in the role.
