#1 Juan Mata, Manchester United
Attempts: 22, Goals: 5, Conversion rate: 22.73%
A surprise no.1 candidate. Juan Mata has the best free kick conversion rate in Europe over the last five seasons. The Spaniard is typically old fashioned when it comes to taking his free kicks. He relies a lot on bend and precision, rather than pace and power.
The ex-Chelsea star has scored 5 goals from direct free-kicks in 22 attempts, which equates to a superb conversion rate of 22.73%. He is ruthless in dead ball situations and has shown consistency over the years.
Ever since his Manchester United move in 2014, the Spanish international has scored stunning free-kicks against the likes of Newcastle United, Southampton, Watford, Leicester City, and Shrewsbury.
