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.

    Think I understand the rules but get a bit paranoid when seeing Ronaldo on bench and Stanciu in starting 11. But that makes sense since Ronaldo plays on final day right?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Would be silly to start Ronaldo in this format unless you will won't maintain the team daily.

        Thanks mate

    No reason to worry about owning De Gea right ?

    Best goalkeeper in pl in his prime VS An old keeper playing in Portuguese league who had a disastrous world cup.last time round

    No contest here imo

    Watford turning down £20m for Troy Deeney is football's most shocking moment since the time Leicester bid £20m for Troy Deeney.

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years

      Maybe upgrade Dzemaili?

  11. Madderegern

    Can u switch captain back to one who has already been captain ?

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years

      Hmm that's a great question

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Of course not.

    3. StArjen05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

  12. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Not as many teams with Konoplyanka as I would have thought

    - Priced at £7.5m
    - On set pieces
    - Key player for quite an attacking team
    - Fixtures are quite favourable (Injury-ridden German backline, Northern Ireland, potential group decider against Poland)
    - Differential (3% ownership)
    - Great form (2 goals and 2 assists in the last two friendlies)

    All the makings of a good source of points with very few negatives that I can see

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Unimpressive stats in competitive matches. Some may compare him primarily to Yarmolenko, and decide that it's Yarmolenko or nothing.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        ....but I've been pondering it too, if he could be more likely to get points in Euro as well after his impressive club season. If he's maybe matured somewhat, learned something at Seville.

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I'll be transferring Hamsik out for Konoplyanka after the first game.

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Me too, brilliant

  13. beric
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    i hate dfeence

    barbacan/4
    alba/..............

    fill in the cheapest possible gaps

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Glik, Dragovic, Giaccherini, Strinic, Denayer, Rami are the cheapest defenders.

  14. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    gtg??

    Sommer Patricio
    Rodrigues Rami Ramos Juanfran Guerreiro
    Hamsik
    Payet Perisic Ozil Junuzovic
    Giroud Muller Nolito

    Kozacik Patricio
    Alba Juanfran Dier Rami X
    Ozil Junuzovic Perisic Stanciu X
    Giroud Muller X

    a) Hector, Matuidi & Kane
    b) 4.0, KDB & Nolito
    c) 4.0, Gotze & Janko

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years

      A for me

      1. Louis123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        B

  16. JurgenSchmidt
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Rate my team, please?

    Rui Patricio - Hennessey

    Sagna - Glik - Alba - Schar - Dragovic

    De Bruyne - Hakan Calhagnolu - Matuidi - Sanches - Williams

    Giroud - Muller - Shaqiri

    1. jimbo90
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Williams and Renato Sanches aren't nailed.

      Alba for Juanfran
      Rami for Sagna

      Then upgrade williams to Stanciu and renato sanches to Mak.

  17. funnyoldgame
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Pick two from

    A) Perisic
    B) Matuidi
    C) Fabregas,

    1. januzki
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      AB

    2. Swanmoretime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      A B

  18. Horizontal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Admittedly I'm just playing for fun, but is there anything obviously wrong with this sorry lot?
    Patricio Kozacik
    Alba Juanfran Schar Dier Giaccherini
    Gotze Perisic Mak Stanciu Junuzovic
    Muller Morata Giroud
    0.5ITB to upgrade one of these.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Alba downgrade to Juanfran. Schar upgrade as Schar isn't nailed on. Junuzovic upgrade to Alaba.

  19. zoli0506
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Kozacik Patricio
    Lichsteiner Juanfran Rodriguez
    Özil Junuzovic Perisic De Bruyne
    Arnautovic (c), Müller, Mandzukic

    Denayer, Guerrero, Kapustka

    My thinking: Switzerland will play against weak attacking team (Romania, Albania scored few goals) That's why i have Rodriguez and Lichsteiner.
    Cech Republic and Turkey is bad at defending that's why i choose Perisic and also Mandzikic, I think Arnautiovic will be a beast against Hungary in the first game, that's why he is my captain.
    After his unfortunate CL final Juanfran will be a beast also. And i think Özil, Müller partnership will score a lot of goal, so i picked both.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Arnautovic to Nolito.

    RMT -

    What holes do I have? I feel balanced at the moment and based my picks purely on match-ups. I'm also sick and tired of people saying payet is not a for sure starter. There is no way in hell he doesn't get the start.

    Kozacik
    Howedes Koscielny Rodriguez
    Fabergas Hamsik Payet(c) Perisic
    Giroud Muller Shaqiri

    Subs: Patricio, Denayer, Guerreiro Siggurdson

    Captain picks: Payet, Shaqiri, Muller, Fabergas, Siggurdson

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Fabregas upgrade to Ozil. Koscielny downgrade to Rami.

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

        I do like that recommendation very much. Thanks for the feedback.

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

        Only problem with that is I would be 0.5 short on Ozil. So I would need to downgrade another defender.

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

          You can downgrade Rodriguez to Juanfran. That'll give you 0.5

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

            Solid team btw. Very similar to mine:

            Sommer
            Hoewedes juanfran Srna walker
            Alli Payet Thiago
            Giroud mueller shaqiri

            Patricio alaba dragovic sigurdsson

    What's team template for the euros game round here ? I'm really struggling with making a team

  22. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Final choice, the team is built...

    Bale... or Kane?

    I'm leaning to Bale for now

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

    Bit of dilemma now that I've done my research. Alaba is playing DM and Junuzovic is playing behind striker which one do I go with.

    A) Alaba,Dier

    B) Junuzovic, Dragovic

  24. trickster1007
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Can the formation be changed between match days? 3-5-2 -> 3-4-3?

  27. Sleivspark
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

  28. Taarabts2Good4U
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Morata has said that he's fit to play against the Czechs. Will he be picked to start?

    Patricio - Jónsson

    Chiellini -Djourou -Rami - Denayer - Guerreiro
