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

    Where (site, app) can we see the latest lineups just to alter teams just before the start?

    At what time will they be visible?

      Any chance I can have a link ?

      Any news on Fabregas if he is likely to start?

      1. Hank10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I think Cesc is safe, training was with Busquets, iniesta and Cesc forming the midfield,, but there is huge pressure from media and fans to drop Cesc and play Koke instead... so if he doesnt perform well in 1st match then koke could possibly take his spot

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Hmm, tnx

          Might go with Hamsik

  3. palace ash

    For the first set of fixtures only (because I'm going to WC after)

    A) Silva (v Czech Republic)
    or
    B)KdB (v Italy)

    1) Nolito (v Czech Republic)
    or
    2) Quaresma (v Iceland)

    1. Honda Beach!

      Nolito Kdb

  4. Honda Beach!
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Have to say that this is the best time that I can choose. Good cover for captain each day and 3 portugal players picked as they have the easiest group.
    What do you think guys?

    Patricio / (4.0)
    Juanfran / Pepe / Rami / (Denayer / Lindelof )
    Alli / Fabregas / Payet / Ozil / (Stanciu)
    Ronaldo / Muller / Giroud

    Any flaws there?

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

      Pepe is a red card walking. I wouldn't use double Portugal defences. Ditch Pepe for Glik or Dragovic.

    2. FPL Panda
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Juanfran defo starting ahead of azpi yeh?

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Of course. Azpi is rather substitutuon for Alba

  5. Slam

      B has better fixtures. Calhanoglu is up against tough teams.

    Hello guys.. Would you rather have Payet or Fabregas? Cheers

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

      Payet

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

        Done 🙂

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

        But if a player gets substituted he loses all the points he gained from the match according to the fantasy rules. So Payet is risky.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Payet is less risky as a 0 is easily replaced. You get the lineup tomorrow anyway.

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Payet

  7. Dutchboy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Is Gotze expected to start

    1. Golden Goal
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yes but he's a slight rotation risk. I'd say 90 percent chance.

      1. Golden Goal
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        What's ur line up?

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

          Wasn't planning on playing it, made the team in like 10 mins.

          Neuer / Shevchenko (I dunno..)
          Rami / Bruno Alves / Djourou / Denayer / Lindelof
          De Bruyne / Martial / Gotze / Perisic / Sanches
          Muller / Giroud / Milik

          How's that looking?

          1. Golden Goal
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 days ago

            Hey, this is actually really good! Loving the sub goalie lol. Who do u support during the season as a club team?

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

              Cool haha. Liverpool and you?

                • 10 Years
                10 years, 5 days ago

                Southampton. R u really Dutch? How long u supported the Reds?! I quite like them too 🙂

  8. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Lets say a defender scores 0 points first day. Then there is no risk related to sub him out for one bench players? (Neglecting the risk for negative score). It is then smart to always have the players that play first in the starting 11?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      yes

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

      Bench is only for players playing later. Regardless of quality

  9. X T I A N

    Sommer nailed on?

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

      Yeah

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

    Nearly there now. Any obvious mistakes? Doubling up on the german defence is too good of an opportunity to miss with them being so cheap.

    Patricio Kozaclik

    Hector Dier Juanfran Denayer Howeded

    Alli Hamsik Payet Stanclu Perisic

    Ronaldo Bale Milik

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Hamsik does not have the best ppm. Would consider another option.

      I personally like Konoplyanka but that goes against your double German def so doesn't seem wise for you

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

        Hamsik is in an easier group than Konoplyanka and is more likely to qualify out of the group.

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Defences are worse in Kono's group imo and its irrelevant who will qualify as we have a WC for last 16.

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

            I'll take Hamsik for 1st game then take out for Konoplyanka then.

  11. Slam
    • 10 Years

    Best defender for 5.0? (Already have Djourou and Rami)

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

      Walker

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I still think Dier considering Englands CS record in qualifying

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

        Interesting, it looks like a high scoring group to me however 😕

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

          Russia have no midfield and Wales were one of the least offensive in qualifying.

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Go Italian with Giaccherini? It's the patriotic thing to do.

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

        That looks like a low scoring group, but is he nailed?

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Good risk to take if you have a defender from Group F. Can't believe the lack of fantasy assets in our nation's squad...

    4. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Giacherrini 🙂

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

      I'm not a fan of any 5.0m option tbh. Hinteregger seems OK at 4.5 but I'd advise Strinic at 4.0 🙂

  12. Delima
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Is everyone leaving Griezmann for Giroud?

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

      I really dont want to! :O

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Nope

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Always been Giroud for me.

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

    This is a bit of a basic question, but I can sub out a defender for a forward/mid during the week, correct?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yes as long as its a valid formation

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

        So the old 2 - 3 - 4 - 2 isn't an option ?

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Only for the gifted

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yes, a nice feature of this format.

  14. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Have there been any conversations about the set piece list? Would have liked Mandzukic to be on PKs to be more confident in him as a differential.

  15. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Strinic nailed?

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

      I hope so 🙂

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

      Definitely not but he's 4 million.

  16. Jacket Potato
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Evening guys, would you rather?
    A) KDB + Payet
    B) Hazard + Ozil

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

      So so close.

      Second because I think hazard could be explosive

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Thanks Fitzy, agree about Hazard, feel like KDB is a little more consistent.

  17. Paramaribo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    A. Ibrahimovic, Giroud, Strinic
    or
    B. Griezmann, Kane, Howedes
    ?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years

      B but that's tough

  19. Jazz!

    So have we decided to Guerreiro or not to Guerreiro?

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

      I wouldn't, too much of a risk, isn't Lindelof nailed?

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

        Nope, not at all. Strinic is the closest to nailed at £4.0m.

    2. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I wouldn't, simply because he plays on the last day and not even the first game of the last day (to at least know if he is starting) - you may end up substituting a 2-3 points player for him and see him get a 0!

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

        I agree 🙁 But if he does start, he has huge potential. A lot of attacking threat. 🙁

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          How much do we value those secured 2-3 points? Supposing that's what we would be swapping for him.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not worth it since he plays at the last day imo

      Strinic or Ciman your best bet I guess

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

        Yeah, cheers Jaks.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Would even rate Ciman's changes 75-80% to start against Italy

          From gw 2 onwards I would say less than 50% though

  20. MarvelouSuccess

    3-5-2

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A) Dragovic and Gotze
    B) Schar and Ozil

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      Equally good imo

    2. Jacket Potato

    1. milanista10

    Taken out Ramos and Hamsik put in Juanfran and Alaba.

    When any of you make another other changes.

    Team

    De Gea
    JuanFran Rami Guerreiro

    Alaba Payet Sanchez Ozil

    Morata Muller Ronaldo

    Much Dier Hector Alli

    1. Ange Ball

      Any changes needed or areas I could save money

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

      Sanchez? He's chilean. De Gea also isn't nailed on.

  29. Dutchboy
    • 10 Years

    Is it a good idea to leave some cash in the bank for the first week?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I'm thinking the same I think it's good idea just in case someone gets injured

    2. Golden Goal
      • 10 Years

    As a belgian, i think we are overlooking Carrasco. He's fabulous. And i think Wilmots could surprise us and play him. That is, he should.. But Wilmots isn't the greatest.
