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

    Any weaknesses in my team? I have 2m ITB and considering spending those on Grosicki - Ozil/De Beuyne

    R Patricio, Kozacik

    Alba, Schär, Hector (Glik, Dragovic)

    Sigurdsson, Pericsic, Alaba, Grosicki (Weiss)

    Muller, Janko, Giroud (c?)

    I can not switch at game-days

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Schar isn't nailed on. Put Glik in starting line-up.

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        you sure? I was certain he is nailed

  2. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Kozacik, Rui Patricio
    Juanfran, Rami, Djourou, Dragovic, Guerreiro
    KDB, Fabregas, Payet, Perisic, Alaba
    Muller, Giroud, Milik

    Just one decision left-
    A. Fabregas, Milik
    B. Ozil, Nolito

      A

    3. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      B for me, talk of Fab being on the bench

  3. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Sorry, bottomed. I need to know as this is the last chance for a week I can alter it:

    What would you change with this guys:

    Sommer / Rui
    Hector / Rami / Alba / Strinic / Lindolf
    Alaba / Fabregas / KDB / Peresic / Stanciu
    Muller / Kane / Giroud

    1. ChibanzaFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      fabregas since he is not 100% nailed on!

      1. KISSES
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Really? I thought he was fine?

  4. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    So am I right in understanding that Grosicki is injured and likely to miss Poland's first game vs. Northern Ireland?

    1. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      he might play but theres a decent chance he will miss the first game so not personally risking him

  5. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Nobody want to take a punt on Rose?

    Looks nailed on and should do well in the group

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Scoutcast Andy is a cert to have Rose he loves him lol

    2. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I got him - destined for an assist or a red card (along with Alli)

  6. Kevinho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Okay, I think I'm finally finished. What do you guys think?

    Patricio/ Kozacik
    Rodriguez/ Dragovic/ Piszcek/ Juanfran/ Dier
    Hamsik/ Payet/ Perisic/ De Bruyne/ Stanciu
    Giroud/ Muller/ Nolito

    1. MFC86

    best striker for 8.5? currently on kane

    1. KISSES

      Kane

    Who is the best 7.5 midfielders midfileder? At the moment I'm torn between Hamsik or Peresic

    1. Louis123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Peri

    2. KISSES
      • 12 Years

      Perry

  11. Liastro ⭐️
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    How come there aren't many teams with Ronaldo?

    Many seem to be preferring Nolito with the usual Müller/Giroud.

    1. Swanmoretime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      For me it's the fact that he never seems to do much in tournament finals until it's too late. Might bring him in for the 3rd game

      I prefer Lewandowski after his showing in qualifying . I might reconsider if Grosicki is ruled out

  12. Johnny Drama

    RMT repost

    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

      Need to downgrade up front to strengthen defence.
      You can sub players in so need a full 15.
      Plenty of advice given last page.

        up front = 8 attackers.

      I think you need to consider when you will wildcard.

      It's seems to me like the game is set up for a group stage wildcard I think I'll do it in gw3 because for the knockout stage you get to pick a brand new team. So really you'd be picking a two gw team imo.

            It's different to what I'm seeing by and large on here.

                I like these short run international formats.

                I'd like to think I watch quite a bit of international football which a lot of people don't seem too bothered for these days.

                      Nothing to fear from them as a side.. same as us against the Poles.. ok they both have one absolute worldie in their sides but most of the time that's not enough..

    So Rodriguez seems to be on pens for Swiss? If so, this highly increases his potential!

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years

      I have Rodriguez

    RMT please... Been at this for to long I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark. There's nothing--no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.

    Koz - Randolph

    Rami - Rodriguez - Vrjsalko - Alba - Guerriero

    Mak - Payet - Pericic - Stanciu - Junozovic

    Muller - Giroud(c) - Ronaldo

    Then let us be rid of it, once and for all. I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you! Comeon!

  24. Jbuckl1878

    10 years, 5 days ago

    Almer or Rui Patricio?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Rui Patricio for me. Portugal have the better defence.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Rui gets my vote.

      1. Jbuckl1878
        • 10 Years

        Think your right

  25. Louis
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Hamsik, Ramsey or Konoplyanka?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Hamsik

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Hamsik has the better games.

    3. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not Ramsey, flip a coin between the other two.

  26. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years

    Any weaknesses in my team?

    R Patricio, Kozacik

    Alba, Schär, Hector (Glik, Dragovic)

    Sigurdsson, Pericsic, Alaba, Grosicki (Weiss)

    Muller, Janko, Giroud

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not at all! Very balanced team

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Hector for Rami. Other than that it's good.

  27. pablospicks
    • 12 Years

    any decent mid options at 5.5?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Forsberg Dzemali

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Stanciu is the one I have seen the most and some are going for Forsberg . I have Mak at 6m . Forsberg is up against Coleman so I am going to avoid him and Stanciu is playing France .

    3. palace ash

      Ain't nobody, like Joe Ledley.

    Will Griezmann likely play 90 mins tomorrow?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I think Payet or Giroud are more likely to make way for Martial

    2. fitzy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      He'll start which is all that matters. Noone can predict which 3 won't get all 90.

  30. Dutchboy
    • 10 Years

    Is Gotze expected to start?
