Important update
The latest Everton penalty evidence has changed the conclusion of this article.
Barry won and scored a penalty against Stuttgart. However, in Everton's more recent 3-1 win over Newcastle, Iliman Ndiaye took and scored a penalty while Barry was on the pitch.
Official FPL analysis says this suggests Ndiaye remains Everton's spot-kick taker.
So Barry should no longer be described as the leading penalty candidate.
Current penalty picture
| Player | Latest evidence | Current view |
|---|---|---|
| Iliman Ndiaye | Scored penalty with Barry on pitch | Strongest current claim |
| Thierno Barry | Won and scored earlier penalty | Secondary clue |
| Beto | No stronger recent evidence | Behind current clues |
Penalty hierarchies can still change, but the most recent same-pitch evidence matters more.
Barry's FPL case without penalties
Barry still costs £5.5m and remains interesting if he wins the central-forward role.
His main routes are box touches, headers, open-play goals, set-piece targets and bonus.

Barry remains a budget-forward watchlist player, but his penalty case has weakened.
