Whos that taking a pen??!?
I've played the game for a while and can't help noticing that there are several weird penalty takers:
Puyol for Barca
A Faye for Newcastle
Ashley Cole for Chelsea
etc etc etc.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Surely the players with top pen taking stats should be the ones taking spot kicks, but yeah it is only a game.

It seems like the AI doesn't pick penalty takers sometimes. I've seen defenders take penalties a lot.

Had to say for me, I think my team only gave up 1 penalty the whole season. Won like 12 penalties though.

I don't have the game running, but do those players by any chance have high Composure attributes, and to a lesser extent Decisions?
I've seen posts claiming that composure is just as, if not more, important than "Penalty Taking".

Puyol is Barca captain, and a perfectly reasonable penalty taker. Well if Dinho isnt on the pitch!

If it's not set, then it's volunteer; defenders want that goal bonus too!

What are their Composure attributes? I think this attribute should be relevant too.
