Premier League and maximum penalty penalties

CMissing a penalty this season in the Premier League is a very big penalty. If the probability of scoring a maximum penalty kick is actually between 74% and 78%, then in the English Championship they pass the match. So far, 66 violations were flagged and 59 violations were remittedWhich means Conversion 89%. crazy.

To put it in context, Last season, the success rate was 75% (74 goals from 99 attempts).. In fact, this campaign, at the moment, The best data is at least since 2008-09 Where Opta began collecting data, Exceeded 2013-2014 (84%).

And they don't even come close in the rest of the major leagues. In La Liga 80% (69 degrees) in 79% German League (71) in Series A 78% (85) and in French League 1 by 74% (58).

23 days after that Only seven shots were missed. the Goalkeepers They were barely able to stop the attempts, Stop five. the others Two went to the stick (Darwin Nunez and Haaland). Among the few champions to wear gloves are two Spaniards: Robert Sanchez and David Raya. One from Chelsea suspended Bruno Fernandes and one from Arsenal suspended Benrahma.

The strange fact is that Of those seven failuresalmost half (3) He was in charge of Liverpool. To Darwin we must add two from Salah, the only one who has conceded twice this season.

Launch areas

If we analyze each version of this season we can see that The specialists did not let down even one of those who went to their leftwith the lower area mostly selected. Of the five penalty kicks saved, four of them were in the central zone And one is on the right, although it is very much towards the centre. The two goalposts were on the right side of the thrower. Surprisingly, no one has been fired yet.

To see it in clearer numbers, 23 of the 64 shots between the posts were low from the left, 13 from the bottom right, and 10 from the low middle.. They were key areas.

Cole Palmer, most accurate

Of all those who tried, Cole Palmer scored more than anyone else: five out of five. The Chelsea player showed his determination and ability to choose, with a very sophisticated style. He generally takes three to four steps with steady running at a moderate to low speed. He always hits it with the sole of his foot, and his strength ranges from medium to high.

The shooting areas were divided between the right side (3) and the left side (2). You have not chosen a position yet. He prefers to shoot it low, although he also tried to reach the highest part of the net on one occasion. He fooled the goalkeeper three times.

Palmer follows, With four goals, Joao Pedro (Brighton), Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa), and Mohamed SalahAlthough Al-Masry did not reach the end completely, because as we mentioned, he failed in two of his six attempts.

It is very likely that between now and the end of the season the conversion rate in the Premier League will drop and be closer to 78-80%, but the point may have been reached where shooters have reached their peak. Goalkeepers face a huge challenge trying to avoid a new England record.
