Euro 2016

Set Piece Takers Updated

With just over 24 hours left until France and Romania get Euro 2016 underway tomorrow evening, we’ve freshened up our Set Piece Takers tab with the summer tournament in mind.

We’ve delved into the international data in our members statistics, which, as revealed last week, takes in not only all of the Qualifying Rounds and the last 12 months of international friendlies but will also include the data from the tournament itself.

This should help Fantasy managers get a handle on those players likely to be issued dead-ball duties by their respective nations and could be particularly handy for those playing the DraftKings game, which is somewhat weighted in favour of those likely to supply plenty of crosses.

The new table comprises all 24 qualifiers from Groups A-F and will, when applicable, be updated on a daily basis to address any changes to free-kick, corner kick and penalty takers as the action unfolds right up until the final in the Stade de France on July 10.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    So, who are your keepers?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Between Sommer and Ru with some 4.0 fodder

      Uniquely Hart and Carroll. Yes, I'm aware of the risks.

    3. justmatt

      Sommer & Patricio

    4. The Nuttman

      Sommer and Patricio

    5. SADIO SANÉ

      Sommer and Patricio - considering Kozacik

    Excellent work. Useful. A few I'd question but 90% seem right

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    score out of 10 for this please?

    Kozacik, Rui Patricio
    Juanfran, Rami, Giaccherini, Dragovic, Guerreiro
    Ozil, Perisic, Błaszczykowski, Siggy, Alaba
    Muller, Giroud, Kane

    1. Railwayman
      • 11 Years

      6.5

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years

      6

    3. michudagawd

      I like it ... 8. Slight doubts over a couple of players but you can see if Rami is starting before the deadline.

    4. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      6/10 because I have 9/15 of your players

    5. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No Ba = 1

    6. Sanguinista
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Very well balanced. Just concerns over Gia & Guerrero starting. Also with Kane possibly not on pens and a relatively tougher group, consider Morata (not on pens but easy fixture and Del Bosque confirmed he's fit to start) or Shaqiri (2 easy games)?

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      thanks guys, I am struggling to improve this but it just doesn't seem right still

      Not sure on a few players

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Siggy hugely over priced for me mate.. same price as Payet for example..

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          true although good group and siggy should be central to all? I am really not sure about him though but I can't see a viable replacement

          1. KingNidge
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            he's the star man for sure but it's iceland.. go with your gut.. personally wouldn't even consider at that price

      Sound. Midfield maybe light. 7?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        thanks, yes I don't really like any of the big hitters though and the really good ones are classed as strikers

    9. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years

      Steady 7.

  5. NUFCAndrew
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sommer (Rui Patricio)

    Hector Juanfran Rami (Denayer Guerrerio)

    KDB Hamsik Ozil Payet (Junuzovic)

    Nolito Giroud Muller

    Any way to Junu-->Alaba?

    Should I try to swap Nolito-->Morata or is he not needed?

    General thoughts?

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looks familiar 🙂 see below

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      i'd rather have nolito than morata

      maybe switch to alaba yes

  6. FPL Mentor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who should my last 2 subs be

    Sommer
    Juanfran Howedes Rami
    KDB Gotze Payet Sigurdsson
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    (Patricio, Guerriero, ???, ???)

    10.5m left

    A. Dier and Stanciu
    B. Ciman and Junuzovic
    C. Denayer and Mak

    ????

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Is there anything in writing about Ciman starting?

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure to be honest.. will have a browse now

      2. Drieet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        As a Belgian, I personally think Ciman (who I have in my team) will start and not Denayer. Denayer was pretty bad in our last friendlies and Ciman performed well on his 2 substitute performances. Our media are also still speculating about who will start. Wilmots has (almost) never started Ciman in a game though, so much is possible. Maybe Witsel will play at right back as he did against Switzerland, though that's very unlikely 🙂

        1. FPL Mentor
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks for the post.. Most sources i have just browsed through seem to suggest Denayer is the main man for right back 🙁

    2. mikess

      Been arguing my cause about Necid being Czech penalty taker.

  14. michudagawd

    Sommer
    Howedes Juanfran Rami
    KDB Fabregas Mak Calhanoglu
    Mandzukic Giroud Muller

    Patricio - Siggy Lindelof Dragovic

    Any obvious flaws?

  15. Paramaribo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I have Juanfran 5.5 and Strinic 4.0 - but I want to get rid of this couple or at least of Juanfran. What would you recomend (please offer no options including Giachherini, Denayer or Glik as I have them as well)?

  16. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks for the much welcomed feedback!
    Put this team together now:

    Patricio (Jónsson)
    Bruno Alves, Koscielny, Barzagli (Hector, Paddy)
    Alaba, Pogba, Özil, Quaresma (Stanciu)
    Lewandowski, Müller, Giroud

    Will this do?

  17. WorldCupDanB
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What is the best site for predicted line ups? Both Whoscored and the UEFA site fail to mention Grosicki being a doubt for Poland which doesn't fill me witn much confidence.

  18. Pinky and Brain
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I'm certain as a Pole that Lewandowski takes penalties ahead of Blaszczykowski. There was one game where Kuba took penalty ahead of Lewandowski, but the Bayern striker let him take it. I'm sure that Lewandowski is Pollsih 1st penalty taker.

  19. Toonzie

    any nailed 4.5 and 4m def?

    Rodriguez on pens according to the set pieces tab ... Hmmm

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Shaqiri and Rodriguez should be shoe ins IMO.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I wish Shaqiri was a mid ... 🙁

  21. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would you say Adil Rami is nailed on?

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd rather say that it's his place to lose. Nailed on for the first match, but you can also see the lineup before the transfers close.

    3. Camp No No
      • 10 Years

      Good luck! It looks quite safe. But knowing you, you're probably going to wildcard for GW2 and take a -24 hit for GW3 anyway. 😉

    Mak or Dzemaili with £0.5m ITB?

    Mak has set pieces. Dzemaili has form and fixtures and allows me some flexibility.

    My plan is to wildcard after GW2 and use the £0.5m to upgrade Alaba to Konyplyanka?

    😆 The conductors for the train lines that pass Stade de France, where the opening match will be played, are on strike the opening day.

    Taxi-drivers will have a busy night.

      Not too sure about Glik but good first fixture of course. Loving the attacking threat in that defence 🙂 Good team. 🙂

        Cheers. I have been looking at a replacement for Glik but undecided at the moment.

    Am I right in thinking that in major soccer tournaments (i.e. the Euros and the World Cup) the opening match often ends in a bore draw (0-0), with both sides preferring not to lose than to go for a win? ( particularly important for the host team). If so, then selecting a couple of French (or Romanian!) defenders could prove to be a good opening gambit.
    Thoughts?
