While many abilities can be subjective and the result of extensive scouting and a general impression of a player's performances, the penalty kick attribute can be quite objective. Check out the formula I came up with: A player takes X number of penalties, scores Y, misses Z. So, Y/X = the success rate. How many penalties someone has taken, scored and missed is detailed on transfermarkt.com, so we are able to easilly gather the information needed. The more penalties someone takes, the more chances he has to miss some of them. It is not fair for a player A, who has taken 20 penalties without missing, to be considered a better penalty taker than a player B who has taken 50 and missed 3, just because A has a 100% success rate and B has a 94% success rate. So, each player gets 0.01 points as a bonus for every penalty he has scored, to reward players who have scored more penalties than others. Given that the top attribute rating in the game is 20, the penalty taker's final rating is calculated by success rate * 20 + bonus (the result is rounded to a whole number) Let's see an example with Lionel Messi 🐐 Penalties taken: 140 Penalties scored: 109 Penalties missed: 31 Success rate: 77.9% or 0.779 Bonus: 1.09 Penalty rating in FM 2024: 17 Real life penalty rating: 0.779*20+1.09=16.67 → 17 So we see that Messi's penalty rating in FM 2024 is pretty accurate! However, the same is not true for many other players. Some have received a very low rating while being excellent penalty takers, and others have a very good rating with a relatively low success rate in real life. I spent an entire afternoon and compiled the players who have received a Penalty rating of 17 and above in FM 2024 into an Excel spreadsheet. Then I added every other active player who has taken more than 30 penalties (some prolific penalty takers are amateur players, they are included in the transfermarkt.com database but not in the game, so there is no FM 2024 rating for them). Finally, I added some other well-known players who I know to have taken more than 20 penalties overall, just so we have a more complete picture of how close the FM 2024 ratings are to the players' actual stats. The result in some cases is shocking, as there are fantastic real-life penalty takers with an in-game rating of 10, 6, 3, or even 1! Moreover, players with less than 10 penalties taken during their career have a rather generous rating of 18; even a player who has never taken a penalty!!! We also have players like Chicharito, who has a pretty good in-game rating of 15, but only 51.6% penalty success in real life! Here, see for yourself - I'm also attaching the actual Excel file if you want to apply filters or do whatever with it.
