Freetakers are the players that you should look out for on your fantasy team, but they are going to average more scores than the rest of the team.
Yet not all teams have set free-takers. They will have players who kick from the left, and others that kick from the right.
At the same time, you can’t just fill your forward line with place-ball kickers, because a free-taker in division one may not get as many chances as that of a free taker in division three.
Here’s a breakdown of the freetakers from each county, by last year’s records, and also from this year’s McKenna Cup.
