Goalkeeper: Bosnich. His save rate is pretty decent, didn't face a lot of penalties though. Has a tidy 23% save rate across his career. Ryan would be my next option with a save rate of 16%. Schwarzer only has a save rate of 12%.

Penalty takers -

  1. Jedinak. Self explanatory. 16 penalties taken in his career. 16 penalties scored.

  2. Mooy. 14 penalties taken, only 1 was saved in his entire career.

  3. Viduka. Similar to Mooy. 10 Penalties taken, only 1 was missed in his career.

  4. Milligan. 16 Penalties taken, only 2 missed.

  5. Muscat. 30 Penalties taken. Only 2 missed.

Can't see the stats of most of the older guys, but statistically, these 5 are our best penalty takers, and Bosnich is the best penalty saver.
