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.

    Can we change captain each day then and if so do we lose the captain bonus from the previous day if we change it?

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years

      yes and yes

    2. Blue&White85

      Yes, that's right.

        I presume that this is only for each round of games? So captain points get locked in at end of round of games regardless of next pick?

    EURO TOP GOALSCORER BET

    A: Giroud @ 14/1
    or
    B: Griezmann @ 11/1

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

      Giroud for me

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

      There are better bets to be had than top scorer bets imo.

        He wasn't asking for a better bet he was asking a or b 😉

          • 8 Years

          Fair point. Neither is my answer.

    3. Jafalad

      I swapped Greaseman to Gru but I've just noticed that Greasy is on the set plays inc pens. Most likely to swap back.

      Do you have a source for this ? . Everything points to Giroud being a sure starter

    Looks like Payet is set to start tomorrow : L'Equipe reports that he's convinced Deschamps of his usefulness, especially on set pieces.

    France's predicted lineup : Lloris - Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra - Pogba, Kanté, Matuidi - Griezmann, Giroud, Payet

      Can't argue with that his set pieces are just a thing of beauty as is his all round game tbf.. Martial can prove to be one hell of a weapon from the bench when called upon..

      1. Cesc's old mullet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yup.

        Feels good being French right now 😉

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

          Not at all feeling regret of half of what would have been your first XI vanishing within half a year? That team could have been so much more impressive.

          1. Cesc's old mullet
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            That is - sadly - very true.

            No point dwelling on the past and what could have been. We just to keep going with what we have

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

              It is definitely not bad. Should be good enough for reaching the semis, but I think it's pretty foolish that you're still considered as favourites to win, with Rami in the defence, Giroud (and I do rate him) upfront, Kanté as the holding midfielder (although, who knows, that could also work, he kept his position well in the Scotland match), bench thin on midfield (Sissoko, for crying out loud) and a shortage of creativity (Payet and who else?)

              I don't want to bring you down, just think that the expectations are set for your best possible team, and you're playing something that is a far cry from that.

              1. Cesc's old mullet
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                What also makes me quite hopeful is the lack of form/quality in other teams this year :
                - Spain is a ghost of what it used to be
                - England has a history of choking during big competitions (although I do think they can go pretty far this year)
                - Germany usually step up their game during tournaments, but they've been far from stellar lately
                - Belgium could be a good surprise if they get out of their group unharmed

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

                  I agree, the weaknesses of the other teams give you hope. But half a year ago it looked like you'd just be strong enough to beat them anyway, and now it's more like maybe you can surprise them. So, expectations are too high.

                  I'm not at all convinced that Spain will be a ghost of what it used to be. Seems revived to me.

                  Belgium, on the other hand, is still managed by Wilmots.

      how reliable is L'Equipe ?

      1. Cesc's old mullet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's of course just a prediction, but it's the leading authority on sports in France. I'd say it's reliable

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

          Most importantly, they rarely report anything that is outright rubbish, only things with a source to it.

          Just a prediction, but based on the training today so it has some credibility.

    What do you prefer?

    A) Giroud, Hamsik, Gotze
    B) Muller, Mak, Ozil

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. BlzE_94

      I have all 3 players in A as well as Muller from B.

  26. Crab Bap
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    How many substitutions do you get a day? I presume there is no limit, but once you transfer out, you lose points for that player within that round of games... Correct? So it is therefore best to load starting 11 team with players who play earlier and have a strong bench basically- Correct?

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

      Exactly 🙂

  27. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is German defence a no go area with all the injuries. ?

    Howedes looks a cheap bargain at 5m

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

    RMT

    So, finally done a team I think is good.

    planning to WC GW3.

    THIS IS MY TEAM IF PAYET STARTS:

    Kozacik
    Djourou-Mangala/Rami-Juanfran-Strinic
    Payet-Hamsik*-Perisic
    Giroud*-Ibra*-Muller*

    Patricio-Dragovic-Junozovic-Jao Mario

    *=Captain choice

    After France lineups I will see if I will go for Rami or Mangala AND if Payet starts. If he doesn´t I will choose Matuidi instead and upgrade Djourou to Lichsteiner. Sounds like a plan??

    Really do support all kinds of tips and smart voices around here!

    Cheers

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

      He's a very good footballer who many have selected for their fantasy teams for the upcoming tournament based on this.. if you like him put him in your team if you don't then don't

  30. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Can someone explain why it is so popular to have both Sommer and Patricio for total 10.0? Over so few games and with a wildcard in hand isnt it better to just go with one of them + 4.0?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Subs.

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

      If you wish.. some prefer to have 2 bites at the cheery with a CS from their keeper

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

        Some prefer 2 bites at the cherry too

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

      I like the 4.0 option for 2nd GK. There's no bonus, so the max a GK is gonna get you is 6. Even if your starting GK gets 2, that's only a 4 point difference. That extra 1M can be used on a field player with a point ceiling higher than 4.
