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.

    Lads, just a quickie, mega important.....

    A) Nolito & Siggy?
    B) Fab & Milik?

    After this I'll be all set....

    Is Alba worth 1.5m over Juanfran?

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      People with Jordi Alba will say yes, people with Juanfran will say no. 🙂

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Which camp are you from? 🙂

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 10 Years

          The not even playing camp.

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I'd get Alba though if I was.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Cheers.

              My main concern is Schar not starting. So I could downgrade Alba to Juanfran and replace Schar with Rodriguez.

              You think Schar will start?

                No idea sorry. Not been following his situation at all since I made the late decision to not bother with UEFA or Telegraph. I need the break from fantasy. FPL was a rough ride last year 😛 I only know I'd have got Alba because I had a team mapped out before I reminded myself how crap the site is.

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

        In that case yes, no from me.

    2. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think so!

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers.

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No but Alba is worth the extra over any other defender imo

      1. EmreCan Hustle

        My main concern is Schar not starting. So I could downgrade Alba to Juanfran and replace Schar with Rodriguez.

        You think Schar will start?

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

          Schar will start

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

            I personally don't see how Alba is worth 1.5m more though. I understand the pts potential he has but that is a huge amount you can bank to spend elsewhere

        2. VS10_
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Schär is 100% nailed.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Cheers.

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

      I have both 😀

  3. jackuzFT
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    quick question:

    for example: I choose Giroud (c) , but he got only 2 pts, so I switch him to Muller. Is that possible ?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes because Muller plays on a different day.

    2. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes!

    3. MFC86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      yes

  4. La Vida Latte
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I seem to have 0.5m to splash! Stanciu -> 6.0 mid. who?

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Joao Mario 🙂

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Is he nailed on?

        1. Creedey
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I can't promise you anything, but he's been showing great form lately. 2 assists last night as well.

          1. La Vida Latte
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks! I will look more into him

            1. La Vida Latte
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Strange stats 7 starts in friendlies, 0 starts in qualifiers for Joao Mario. I dont know what to make of that...

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mak seems to be the only option.

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He isn't.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Any better 6m mids?

          1. Creedey
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            It's between Joao Mario and Mak for me.

    3. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Anybody thinking about de Rossi. On penalties too...

  5. Creedey
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Giroud or Griezmann?

    I think we might have forgot about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoWkmHty4jc

  6. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is Howedes nailed?

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes! But only for the first game.

  7. Fergietime
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is Quaresma nailed?

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

      Like Jesus a few days before Easter

      1. Creedey
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What about Nani? Isn't he first choice?

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

          Yeah I was wondering about him, I imagine he'll still play

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I just want to comment under a comment that will be banned in a few seconds

          • 8 Years

            Oh c'mon the mods aren't that strict 🙄

  8. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Here's my offering. Thanks to those who have discussed.

    Patricio // Kozakic

    Hector // Juanfran // Rami // Djourou // Guerreiro

    Ozil // Perisic // Matuidi // Junuzovic // Fosberg

    Muller // Lewandowski // Giroud

    Not especially happy with Junuzovic but not a lot of choice at that price.

    Djourou is in there for those games against Albania and Romania, can see a cleanie in one.

    Any thoughts?

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

      Looks good in areas

      What will you do though if you want to sub in Guerreiro on day 5 for a 2-pointer?

      You won't know the lineups so you risk a 1-pointer cameo, essentially throwing a point away for nothing

      Not interested in Djourou/ Juno ----> 4.5m DEF/ Alaba?

      1. Cooper123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Only a point is risked so not too bothered. Can't see a 4.5 that has a reasonable prospect of a clean sheet.

        Sort of tempted by Alaba but if Junu is playing in a more advanced position for less money then seems like the better choice.

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

      Looks good! Not many people that go ahead and splash the cash on Robert, so it might work out really good for you 🙂

  9. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on my first draft:

    Patricio Kozacik
    Dier Rami Strinic Hector Guerreiro
    Alli Matuidi Perisic Ozil KDB
    Giroud (c) Morata Muller

    Opinions much appreciated!!

  10. Azzurri4Life
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Guys,how does this look...any weak links...
    kozacik/rui
    denayer/howedes/schar/dragovic/rami
    stanciu/fabregas/joao mario/perisic/alaba
    muller/griezmann/ronaldo

    1. MFC86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      potentially Fabregas, talk of him not playing

      1. Azzurri4Life
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks...any suggestions for an equal replacement?...

  11. GHB
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Patricio, Sommer

    Bonnuci, Denayer, Dragovic, Strinic, giaccherini,

    Payet, KDB, Siggy, Perisic, Dzemaili

    Mûller Giroud, Janko

    Just took out Kane for Janko and upgraded 2nd keeper so have 0.5 on bank, haven't spent much time on it so loads of advice appreciated 🙂

  12. zon
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Alright I'm set!

    Sommer Kozacik
    Ramos Hector Dier Rami Guerreiro
    KDB Payet Perisic Fabregas Stanciu
    Muller Giroud Janko

    Someone has to make an excellent argument to make me change this.

    1. MFC86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      talk of Fab being on the bench

      1. zon
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That's the calculated risk I'll take at 7.0

  13. Johnny Drama
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Lichsteiner or Schar? 🙂

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

      Rodriguez. Then Schar

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

      Lichtsteiner will definitely play so I'd choose him between those two.

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

      Schar

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

    Just need to complete my front line - Nolito, Morata, Milik or Kane?

    No English or Polish cover, have Alba & Juanfran from Spain.

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Harry

      1. Creedey
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hurry

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

      I like Morata the best out of that list, but I have Nolito to enable the rest of my team.

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

      Went for Milik myself

      1. JPSpurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        But may switch to Harry for the Poland - Germany fixture

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

      Kane

  15. Alex1111345
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    12.5m for 2 midfielders. Any suggestions?

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Matuidi + Stanciu!

      1. Alex1111345
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Already have Rami Pogba and Giroud

        1. Creedey
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Perisic + Andre Gomes

          1. Casp123
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Is Andre Gomes likely to start? I'm stuck for a 6.0m midfielder.

            Roy loves Wilshere so he could start but I'm stuck for a better option than that.

  16. Sweden11
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this

    Patricio Sommer
    Denayer Rami Dragovic Hector Guerreiro
    Alaba Forsberg Perisic Ozil KDB
    Giroud Morata Muller

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm going with Kane instead of Morata 🙂

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

    Hope i'm wrong but i don't see England beating Russia and could easily see them being done tbh

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

      Low-scoring group imo

      Reckon England will go through with a nice few clean sheets, hence I'm going with Dier

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

        Really? I don't see many clean sheets.

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

          I'm with you on this

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

        You may be onto something. I've been looking at this as a potential high scoring group because the defences don't fill me with confidence, but it may be, and partly just because of that, that all managers will set their teams up very defensively.

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

          Well Russia are hopeless in attack, Wales have failed to score in their last two friendlies and it depends what Slovakia side show up

          I haven't looked at the stats yet, but over England's last few friendlies it doesn't look like they've conceded many chances (now I could be wrong on this)

          I reckon a 1-0 or 0-0 against Russia
          Maybe a another 1-0 or 0-0 against Wales
          Slovakia could be anything depending on the table by then

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

            Entirely depends on Woys selection imo. I expect a very boring group with few goals and little attacking flair. I can only be pleasantly surprised adopting this approach.

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

      russia are having quite a few problems, England should win but we do have woy in charge so who knows

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

        Yeah admittedly don't know a great deal of the Russians although they used to be a really impressive side..

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

          "used to be" may be the key here.

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

          many of their key players are injured and they russian fa don't even have enough money to pay the manager, he's working for free

          crisis it maybe

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

            Oh i did not know this.. haha good man

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

        England showed so much promise against Germany but in the last two seem to have lost their way particularly against Portugal they were shambolic.. Woy hasn't the foggiest what his strongest 11 or best formation is i fear

    4. chinmusic
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed. I'd like to see Sterling start. He looked so sharp when he came on against Portugal.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        ^^^.

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

          Is that you agreeing with me?! If so, I always said you had judgement!

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Aye. And you're right. I do. 😎 😉

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

        Sterling is garbage and a horrific finisher. Unless he's on the wing just to tire the RB, many other players would be a better choice

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

          The only player that can operate in wide areas with any kind of quality in that England side is Lallana imo.. really like him

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

            Eh, Lallana is fine, I guess. Nothing special with him, but reliable. I would rather put Milner, Barkley or Henderson on the left before Sterling and Lallana.

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

              On the left side of a diamond midfield yeah certainly.. pity Barkley tailed off so badly toward the end of last season he's another i rate extremely highly..

        2. chinmusic
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He looked confident against Portugal. The extremes of opinion on here amuse me. He's far from garbage.

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

        Not a fan of Sterling but he did look lively when he came off the bench last game

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

      England's record at European Championship finals reads played 27, Won 9, Drew 9 and Lost 9 so they are more than likely not winning against Russia

  18. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I see that there are yet more moans at the work that some have done on here, to ready us all up.

    OK. Croatian left backs, anyone?

      Anybody?

      Ah, well ...

      International career

      Playing for Croatia

      Strinić received his first call-up for Croatia national football team under manager Slaven Bilić for a friendly match against Austria on 19 May 2010. Since then he has been regular starter for Croatia and the first choice for their left-back position.

      He was a part of the Croatia national football team on UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland, where he played all three games in group stage. He provided an assist for Mario Mandžukić in the match against Italy, to equalize the result on 1-1. Although he was the first choice left back during the qualification matches, he missed out on the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil due to a hamstring injury.

      Doosra, at the risk of you giving this short shrift, do you have my concerns about Payet losing his place going forward and the effect on your team?

        Yes, I do. But I also believe that it will cause France to lose, so I am hopeful. 🙂

        They have magically found a blend with Kanté, Pogba, Matuidi and Payet. I believe that will continue.

    Please rate or hate my team

    Rui Patricio, Kovacik

    Schar, Hector, Rami, Juanfran, Darmian

    Perisic, Mak, Alaba, Forsberg, Stanciu

    Ronaldo, Muller, Giroud

    How can I make it better, I still have 1M to spend

    Thanks!

      That midfield would have me seriously worried.

        7 years, 11 months ago

        All three of Mak, Forsberg and Stanciu like come on. You're making too many sacrifices to fit in Ronaldo IMO.

        1. Creedey
          • 9 Years

          Could not agree more. I think a better set of midfielders will outscore Ronaldo!

    Wasn't aware that Junuzovic has actually been an assist machine these past couple of seasons in Bundesliga. He actually has a lot of assists playing for Austria aswell (13 in 47 caps) aswell as 7 goals. Could he be better value than Alaba (11 goals 9 assists in 42 caps) at 0.5 cheaper?

      I think when it's that close, Alaba is worth it for .5 with a monopoly on all dead balls

        7 years, 11 months ago

        He shares them with Junu though. And plays a bit deeper. Alaba on penalties would sway me if they were the same price but I want that 0.5m to spend elsewhere

    A) Alba/Payet/Nolito
    B) Juanfran/Matuidi/Morata

      A - point proven imo 🙂

    RMT:

    Patricio [Johnson]
    Hector / Juanfran / Rami [Dier / Cedric ]
    Silva / Payet / Ozil / Perisic [Stanciu]
    Giroud (C) / Muller / Nolito

    from 0 to 10 !?

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

      Would rather go KDB than Silva for a 10M mid. Who's Johnson? Cedric nailed?

      Other than that, great team.

      1. jackuzFT

        arguments for KDB? I had him in my team but changed....

  23. Jude Rooney

    Any starting midfielders for 5m?

    Who are your top 5 mids in the 7.0-8.0 bracket?

    Hey guys!

    What do you think-

    1) Which team will score the most goals?
    2) Which team will concede fewest goals?

    Gimme your thoughts!

      -----------------Sommer------------------
      ----Rami Giaccherrini Ramos----
      Payet Stanciu Fabregas Gotze
      ---------Nolito Muller Ronaldo-----
      --------------------------------------------------
      RuiP Junuzovic Dragovic Guerriero

      Looks like that's me. Looking at one choice now.

      A: Fabregas Junuzovic
      B: Alli Alaba

      1. JPSpurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        B for me

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

        Close call. Think A mainly to convince myself my late switch from Alli to Fabregas is a good idea.

      I think I'm now done with my team, any thoughts..?

      Patricio, Kozacik
      Denayer, Guerreiro, Rami, Juanfran, Hector
      KDB-Perisic-Özil-Mak-Junuzovic
      Giroud-Muller-Morata

      Any advice guys?

      Got a sudden urge to squeeze Ozil in with all his set piece duties.

        1. Backup Dancer
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Last 4 matches he's top German for corners

            3 Corners??? 1 Successful? You are having a laugh.

            Kroos: 6 corners, 2 successful ...

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Dimitri Payet: 17 corners, 7 successful. Don't get me started on Stanciu ...

              1. Backup Dancer
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                The extra 0.5 ruined my team so you'll be happy to know I've gone for Payet.

                Now to see the lineups.

                🙂

              No doubt they are sharing but he IS on some set pieces to be fair

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                Özil looks to me as if he is being cold-shouldered.

            Plus I imagine he only took the penalty as Mueller wasn't in the pitch?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Yup.

      Stop until the France lineups are announced tomorrow?

      Kozacik (Rui Patricio)
      Rami/Djourou/Dier/Juanfran/Strinic
      Payet/Perisic/Ozil (De Bruyne, Alaba)
      Giroud/Muller (Nolito)
