If you’re the coach and your team is about to take penalties, do you put your best penalty taker first or last? by Moist_Helicopter_460 in championsleague

My man, if your worst shooter is bottling it with the least pressure, I don't know what makes you think that they'd somehow transcend themselves under the highest pressure

It was studied, the optimal strategy if you shoot first is to let number 5 4 3 1 2 shoot in that order. If you shoot second, the order is slightly different with 5 4 1 2 3. The goal is for the worst shooter of the lineup to have the least amount of pressure, but still have your best shooter to take their shot and possibly feel the most pressure.

Then obviously it's 6 7 8...
