Poll Coming...
I had to go for Nakamura. His ratio is incredible. I've seen every Celtic game this season and I think he has scored more than he missed. Celtic just don't get enough free kicks around the box. I've never seen anyone take as much pressure. He got us to the Last 16 of the CL with a fantastic freekick against Man Utd and he won us the league on Sunday with a last minute freekick.
Juninho 2nd.
I think those 2 are in their own league.

What about Indirect Free Kicks?
Most players would be good at both if they're good at one. There's players like Henry that are much better at direct freekicks than indirect one's though.

Juninho hands down. His technique is sublime. He doesn't rely on lateral movement as much, which makes him equally as dangerous from both sides of the box.
His shot has the most ridiculous dipping action of anyone I've ever seen, and his accuracy is phenomenal.

When was the last one scored by those listed?
Shunsuke scored one in the last Celtic game to seal an injury time winner that won them the league. Not sure about the others.
