<p>Assembling a strong Premier League <strong><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/fantasy-football-premier-league-2021-22-tips-best-players/u4pctt89qjf2zh29z6vvwmkn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">fantasy football</a></strong> team is no easy task, and the strongest sides require a balanced skillset across forwards, midfielders and defenders.</p>

<p>While it is tempting to shell out on the most prolific strikers, it's also important to sign players who are well-rounded - especially those capable of turning free kicks into goal-scoring opportunities.</p><script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script><script type="application/json" data-placement="mobile-advert">{"type":"mobile-advert","data":{}}</script>

<p><strong>Goal</strong>&nbsp;has rounded up the best Premier League football free kick takers who you can consider adding for your team.</p>

<h2>Best Premier League fantasy football free kick takers</h2>

<p>A good free kick taker is a must for any time, an opportunity to turn a set-piece chance into a goal-scoring one.</p>

<p>They are the next best thing after a penalty kick, and a team has every chance of scoring directly from a free-kick – or at least getting a header on the effort – if it's just on the box area.</p>

<p>The best free kick takers have the ability to net straight from the spot, or to create enough momentum and to find a space that their team's forwards can take advantage of for a goal-scoring opportunity.</p>

<p><strong>James Ward-Prowse</strong>&nbsp;is the most skilled free kick taker in the Premier League, having scored four direct free kicks for Southampton during the 2020-21 season. Two of his free kicks came against Aston Villa in a single game, where the Saints won 4-3.</p>

<p>Arsenal's <strong>Willian</strong>, Leeds' <strong>Raphina</strong> and Leicester's <strong>James</strong> <strong>Maddison</strong> follow suit with one direct free kick goal scored apiece.</p>
