Football Manager pinpoint world’s top 25 free-kick specialists and penalty takers
Football Manager has pinpointed the top 25 free-kick specialists and penalty takers in the world.
With the World Cup on the horizon, the marginal details can make all the difference for nations looking to win the coveted prize in Qatar. Nothing quite produces ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ like a perfectly curling free-kick, while penalties are still the most surefire way to score goals.
And now Football Manager 2023 has given its own take on who tops the charts when it comes to specialists for both types of set-pieces.

The award-winning football management simulator has awarded Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse the honour of being the only player in world football with a perfect rating of 20 when it comes to free-kicks. Ward-Prowse has netted the second most free-kicks in Premier League history (14) after David Beckham (18) – so the rating is fully deserved.
There are no 19-rated free-kick takers in the game, though 10 players have been awarded a rating of 18. Among them is Lionel Messi, who has netted a staggering 60 free-kicks throughout his career, putting him ninth on the all-time list.
Who do you think is the best set-piece taker in the world? Let us know in the comments section.
However, Football Manager players will be more spoilt for choice when it comes to penalty takers. The likes of Robert Lewandowski, Neymar and Harry Kane all possess that crucial rating of 20.
Romelu Lukaku, Raul Jimenez, Gabriel Barbosa, Henrique Dourado, Nestor Ortigoza and Aaron Muirhead make up the rest of the players with a perfect score from 12-yards. Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes finds himself one step below with 19, along with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
