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.

    Which would you favor for the first round of fixtures? (Three French players subject to being in the starting XI)

    A) Höwedes, Matuidi, Silva and Nolito

    B) Boateng, Pogba, Iniesta and Quaresma

    De Gea, Patricio
    Rami, Rodriguez, Dier, ***, Guerreiro
    ***, Alli, Özil, ***, Alaba
    Giroud, Müller, ***

    Planning to WC after first set of games

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

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

    A. Rami, Howedes, Ozil
    or
    B. Juanfran, Strinic, Gotze
    ?

    1. palace ash

      A

  3. Thunder Warrior

    Alaba or Fabregas?

    1. palace ash

      Alaba

    Been away a while from here. Thanks so much for a great season.

    Is anyone playing the Sun Euros game?

    If so, what's the form? Any tips or a rough template?

    I'll love you forever.....

  5. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is anyone considering Srna? Decent chance of attacking points but is 6.0 too much?

    How likely is it that Strinic will start?

    Swiss CBs? Schar 5.5 and Djourou 5.0? Or could Lang 4.5 or von Bergen 4.0 play?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I reckon von Bergen could partner but not sure whether to risk it 😕

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah same, von Bergen would be nice.

    2. palace ash
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Too expensive considering the alternatives at that price bracket.

      Schar nailed but other spot is coin toss.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        uefa predicted line-ups have Lichtsteiner, Lang, Djourou, Rodriguez...I have no idea.

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

          A hint: don't trust UEFA predicted lineups.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I don't, but no-one else seems to know either.

    3. Swift
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd think Djourou is safe. He played most of qualifying.

  6. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    7 years, 11 months ago

    To Guerreiro or not to Guerreiro.

    That is the question

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He'll make for great shouts on match day

      1. George Sillett

        Evening Balders. You seen my e mail of earlier today ? Let me know your thoughts.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If he was playing on any other day, I'd easily take him without a second thought. The last day is so risky 🙁 And we don't even get Portugal's lineup before deadline since Austria play before them 🙁

      1. JÆKS ⭐

    2. Christina.

      Put him in. Prob won't be required.

    3. psgg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      why not Cedric ? he is nailed and just more +0.5 ?

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hes nailed? What about Vieirinha

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

          He's nailed too. 😉 In fact, according to information gathered from the users of this site, there are as many as 7 nailed on defenders in Portugal's 4-man defence line. 😀

          1. psgg
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Cedric it's nailed, Vieirinha doesn't really haves much hype here in Portugal.

            About Portugal the question it's if will start Ricardo Carvalho or Bruno Alves and Eliseu or Rafael Guerreiro

    4. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Guerreiro or Strinic is the question.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Strinic

        Plays earlier

  7. Sune
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Subasic / Almer
    Juanfran / Rami / Guerreiro / Hector / Schar
    KdB / Payet / Konoplyanka / Junuzovic / Perisic
    Nolito / Muller / Giroud

    Rating?

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

      7.5, defence seems a bit too unknown for my liking

      1. Sune
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Really? Guerreiro should be the only risk, no?

  8. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you back to win more group games?

    a) France (ALB, ROM, SUI)
    b) Germany (UKR, NI, POL)

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

      france to win all, germanys fixtures could be potential slip ups

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Both will win the first 2. May rest players in the last match if the group is already won.

  9. ANDYC311

    1. palace ash

      A

  10. ducksfly2gether
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Mandzukic, Hazard

    OR

    B) Ronaldo, Alli,

    1. palace ash
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B and I don't own CR7.

      im going for him I think

    2. JÆKS ⭐

      I bought him over Ozil!

    3. palace ash
      • 14 Years

      I wanted him but don't think he's nailed because of Gomez.

    When will the lineups be available for the france game? Time wise

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      1 hr before kick off

  15. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard and Iniesta. Now that's a combo I've not seen.

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

      i'd be suprised to see it myself

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years

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

          agreed, it seems a bit boring

          however I don't think iniesta is a good pick

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years

            That's the only spot I can see some decent differentials.

  16. ducksfly2gether
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Kroos, Hazard

    OR

    B) Ozil, Siggy

    1. palace ash
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. faver
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B. If anything good happens to Iceland, it would happen by Siggy's legs. He carried more than 1 match at Swansea. But internationals are different thing than league. Ozil = Kross i believe. Anyways B

    BEST 4.5m defender?

    1. palace ash

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Guerreiro for 4.0

    2. faver
      • 8 Years

      Lindelöf isnt nailed anymore?

        No clue

    Sommer
    Juanfran Howedes Rami
    KDB Gotze Payet Sugurdsson
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    (Patricio, Dier, Stanciu, Gueirrero)

    Hows it looking?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I should number them according to what day they are playing ...

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

      is howedes nailed to start? Germany defence looks quite poor although 5m is a good price. Does he offer anything going forward?

    3. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Very nice.

      Nolito and Gotze are risky but potential rewards are big.

      Looks good but tournaments are a whole different game imo.

      If you were to look at similar stats for friendlies in 2013 and 2014 and then compare then to the teams in the World Cup, there would be quite a contrast.

    Think I've settled on this lot now. Any feedback?

    Sommer, Patricio
    Ramos, Kosc, Hector, Rami, Srna
    Ozil, Alaba, Fabregas, Perisic, Mak
    Muller, Giroud, Nolito

  23. TheFootballHub

    IMO ronaldo is a must have

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

      No bigger fan of Ronaldo than myself but there are many different ways to be successful in this game

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

        I think muller will be playing out wide with gomez up up, therefore limiting his chances ( still think he will do well but not quite as good). I feel Lewandoski and bale and zlatan won't live up to their full potential. While ronaldo and portugal will have a great group stage

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

          Muller is at his most effective playing just wide of a central striker.. plays there for Bayern while Lewandowski plays more through the middle... 32 goals this season

  24. rocrocodile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone want to talk me into going 100% template?

    Sommer / Randolph
    Srna / Rami / Hector / Giaccherini / Durica
    Özil / KDB / Fabregas / Perisic / Weiss
    Muller / Giroud / Nolito

    A) Ditch Nolito?
    B) Alternatives to Weiss (he's a nice punt, though)
    C) Anything else?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Junozovic ?

    2. Hank10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My only worry is Giaccherini... Conte might go with below midfield:

      ELSHAAWARY------------------------ CANDREVA
      -----FLORENZI---- DE ROSSI -- MOTTA---

      Florenzi left Italy's camp to head back to Rome for his daughter's birth, but is supposed to comeback soon...

  25. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Patricio Kozacik
    Hector Alba Rami Juanfran Giaccherini
    Ozil Perisic Junuzovic Grosicki Stanciu
    Muller Giroud Morata/Kane

    Rating /10?

    1. Hank10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Top team, just watch out for Grosicki's injury and Giacc's starting status

  26. KingNidge

    Can't ignore Bale any longer he is in 🙂

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Too many Mullers about and rightly so he is pure class but so is Bale and he is capable of tearing it up against anyone
