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

    So,

    Most have
    -Riu/Sommer
    -Perisic
    -Giroud
    -Mueller
    ...

    No one owns
    -Hazard
    -Lukaku
    -Ibra
    -Turan

    Stick or make some changes?

      I own Ibra. 🙂

      Hazard may come in on GW 2 WC.

        • 16 Years

        Yeah, I've been caught up in the FFS template. Disaster.

    Hmmm, who's gonna fill the full-back slots for Portugal?

    And is their any nailed-on-ness there?

    1. ChibanzaFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      carvalho and pepe are nailed on

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

    Bild tells that Aubameyang has decided he wants to join Manchester City for next season, while according to Gazetta hello Sport Juve is about to sign Pjanic for €30M-€35M.

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Pjanic is a brilliant signing for us. Great start to the window if we get him and Dani Alves.

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

        Yup, a great signing. Whether you can keep Pogba or not.

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

      ...and according to Cadena COPE (Spain) and L'équipe (France) Emery and PSG have agreed on a contract, and only reason why it has not been made official yet is that PSG is negotiation the termination of Blanc's contract. Firing Blanc would cost them over €22M.

  5. Jazz!
    • 11 Years

    Triple Swiss defence 😎
    Triple France attack 😎
    Double Spain defence 😎

    Going for the number 1 spot! 😉

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Not sure about the first 2 😀

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Nor am I 😀

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Giroud + Payet + Matuidi 😀

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        😀 😀 😀

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

      That triple Swiss cheese may cost you that title.

  6. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Kozacik Patricio
    Rami Juanfran Schär Strinic xxx
    KDB Perisic Götze Junuzovic xxx
    Giroud Muller Nolito

    Thoughts on this team? A or B for the final 2 spots?

    A) Hector Fabregas
    B) Howedes Hamsik

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      A - Solid team. Lacking English players ( 😛 ) but solid.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Maybe that's why you think it's solid 😀

        But tnx! Expect Fabregas to play then, there were some rumours about him not being nailed on

        1. ChibanzaFC
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          i don't think he is! spain midfield will be busquets iniesta and thiago IMO

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Didn't he play most of the games before the EC?

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      B and really dislike strinic. wont play for me.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Cheers!

        Not a fan of Guierrero since he plays on the last day, may switch to Ciman after all

  7. Plymouth
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Any possible improvements?

    Patricio (Jónsson)
    Cedric, Rami, Barzagli (Hector, Paddy)
    Alaba, Pogba, Özil, Quaresma (Stanciu)
    Lewandowski, Müller, Giroud

  8. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Hows this final draft looking then ladies and gents?

    Sommer
    Juanfran Rami Howedes
    KDB Gotze Payet Sigurdsson
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    (Patricio, Guierrero, Denayer, Stanciu)

    0.5 itb

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Denayer OUT

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Denayer 》 Dier?

        1. FPL Mentor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          0.5 itb so could also do
          Denayer 》 Ciman and Stanciu 》 Junuzovic?

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      A bit risky in defence with Guierrero and Denayer huge rotation risks.

  9. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Best £6.0 defender? Rodriguez worth it over Schar? Srna? Fuchs?

    1. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      At 6 exactly? Evra?

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Koscielny then Sagna although he can only give you an assist

  10. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    So, do we know Germany and France's likely back 4?

    Definitely a bargain or two in there if so.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Rami

      Howedes/Hector

      Cheapest options likely to play in those defences

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Rami looks a good shout then.

        Might go with Howedes to start, he was in their WC winning team after all.

      2. ChibanzaFC
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        is rami a better option than dier vs russia?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          No brainer imo

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I'd guess

      Can Howedes Boateng Hector

      Sagna Rami Koscielny Evra

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah, I currently have Howedes and wasn't sure on Mangala/Rami.

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

    Vrsaljko apparently close to a deal to join Atletico Madrid

    http://gianlucadimarzio.com/news-cat/atletico-madrid-pronta-lofferta-per-vrsaljko/

    Would expect him to start ahead of Strinic, meaning Raphael Guerreiro and Von Bergen are the only remaining punts for a 4.0m DEF 😕

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Ciman! 😀

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      That means nothing ... Strinic first choice, imo.

    3. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Just because he is apparently close to joining Atletico?

    4. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      How about Lindelöf?

    5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      You are swimming in the wrong quarry. 😉

  12. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Teams in the German Bundesliga really aren't messing around transfer-wise. Already over 3x more transfers made than the Premier League and 4x more than La Liga. Very busy so far.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      clever, get business done before a tournament before price rockets for some players

      also buying players off a good tournament alone rarely works. Alot of teams will do this

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        VfL Wolfsburg - Daniel Didavi, Yannick Gerhardt, Josip Brekalo, Joshua Guilavogui

        Bayern Munich - Mats Hummels, Renato Sanches

        Borussia Dortmund - Marc Bartra, Ousmane Dembélé, Sebastian Rode, Emre Mor, Mikel Merino

        Bayer Leverkusen - Kevin Volland, Julian Baumgartlinger, Danny da Costa

        Borussia Mönchengladbach - Christoph Kramer
        Schalke 04 - Naldo
        Hoffenheim - Andrej Kramarić, Kevin Vogt
        Hamburger SV - Bobby Wood, Christian Mathenia
        Köln - Marco Höger

        Some of the more notable ones. Excellent business already done even this early. Some real bargains there like Didavi/Naldo free transfers.

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

          Some excellent signings there. For Dortmund in particular, but I also like Wolfsburg's and Leverkusen's transfers.

          Didavi on free transfer is a massive blow to Stuttgart.

          1. caio89
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Stuttgart were relegated so he would most likely have left them anyway.

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

              Surely they were always going to lose him anyway, but I meant that they didn't get any money from him.

          2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Agree with the three you mentioned. I'm a big fan of Yannick Gerhardt.

            Missed out Tobias Strobl for Mönchengladbach. That's two much needed midfielders signed up, after losing both Xhaka and Nordtveit.

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Because they have double money from tv rights than now. Rise from 600 milion to 1,16 bilion €

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Indeed.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Germans are organised and disciplined. Enough said.

  13. DevilGin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    For France set piece takers are wrong, Payet mostly will take the penalty kicks (I'm French).

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Why do you believe that?

      1. DevilGin
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        I will pay you pints for 1 year if Payet doesn't take penalty kicks...
        Payet is ou master free kicks player, corner/fk/penalties

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          He has missed 2 of the 3 penalties he has taken.

        2. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          But Payet never takes pens ... 😕

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

            Then you'll have one happy year, Jazz. 🙂

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

          Master in free kicks and corners, yes, and still doesn't take them all. Master in penalties, not so. Only 3 in play penalties in his whole career, and missed 2 of them. Ouch.

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Hope you drink 12 pints a night !

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

      But he doesn't even take them for West Ham?

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Well, he doesn't even take them for West Ham. I do. 😉

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

      You being French does not yet mean you know this unless you happen to be one of those French who make part of l'EDF. 😉

      _Why_ do you think he's on penalties? As far as I know, Payet has never taken a penalty for France, and it's almost 6 years since he converted a penalty for a club side either. Not very convincing. So if you have some secret information, or can correct that, please inform us.

  14. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Been out of the loop a bit to be honest, trying to throw a team together tonight.

    Is there a 5.0m mid that just happens to be a complete steal out there? Or wishful thinking? 😆

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Think that Swiss mid beginning with D might be 5.0mill

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        I will take a look, cheers Jazz!

        Not confident at all, but may as well do a team!

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Mak and Stanciu ...

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years

            Thanks Doos 🙂

  15. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years

    Best 5.0m def.

    Excluding Howedes and Rami..

    Go!!....

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Dier!

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      dragovic, djourou, evans

    3. Dukes of Hazard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Draganovic if only looking at gw1, just because Hungary are so awful.

      1. Dukes of Hazard
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Which is making me wonder why he isn't in my team :/

    4. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Giaccherini perhaps. Don't like any option in the 5.0mill bracket tbh.

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

      Dier, Walker

  16. Judas
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    What is wrong with Denayer?

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Dropped

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      He's not very good.

    3. Judas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      since when? yesterday everyone was saying he was a great pick!

      1. Camp No No

  17. Dukes of Hazard
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Hey think this is a relatively standard 15 but figured I might ask what people think.

    Kozacik Patricio

    Juanfran Rami Rodriguez Dier Guerreiro

    Ozil Iniesta Payet Alaba Stanciu

    Giroud Muller Mandzukic

    Got 1 mill to spare and planing to swap Ozil for Hazard after gw 1.

  18. BrockLanders

    Just set my Euro team up anyone give me a brief overview of the rules? Can you substitute during GW etc..

    Best 6.5m midfielder? Junuzovic, Alli, Draxler or another?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Junuzovic

    2. ChibanzaFC

      draxler

    3. EmreCan Hustle

      Junu or Weiss.

    Hello guys, how does this team looks?

    kozacik patricio

    bonucci hector juanfran koscienly raphael guerreiro

    alaba hamsik perisic dzsudzsak siggy

    morata grou muller

  21. I Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Patricio - Kozacik
    Ramos - Schar - Dier - Giaccherini - Denayer
    Payet - Perisic - Fabregas - Matuidi - Junuzovic
    Muller - Giroud - Mandzukic

    (1.0 ITB but I'm saving that for Junuzovic -> Konoplyanka)

    Think I need to get rid of Denayer. Don't feel comfortable with him at all, especially because he plays late in the week. Who's the best replacement for him? Not sure that I want to risk Strinic or Guerreiro. Might just go for whichever 4.5 Romania defender starts tomorrow.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      alot of faith in france there, x3 is too much for me

      Denayer out should be considered

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Lovely attack 🙂

  22. Why Always Me
    • 12 Years

    Pazdan start for Poland?

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

    Those going with Guerreiro, how confident are you?

    I might go uber cheap in defence with two 4.0m defenders to bring in Ronaldo

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Accommodating Ronaldo requires too many sacrifices elsewhere imo.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Not very. Guerreiro, Strinic and Ciman are all risky. Putting them all in could end up being a nice stroke of genius/luck.

    3. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Probably 60% right now. Think it could be a great gamble if he plays as his stats suggest he has the odd goal in him too.

  24. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Thinking about Rakitic as an FFS differential differential over Perisic...

    1. JÆKS ⭐

      Not a bad shout!

    Everyone seems to have Rami...is he definitely nailed on?

    1. DevilGin

      Yes 100% starter (i'm French)

    2. Dukes of Hazard

      Line up should be available before deadline.

      Not nailed, but I think everyone will be ready to swap him for Mangala if necessary when they see the lineups.

        10 years, 6 days ago

        what time will the lineups come outt?

    Why is suddenly Denayer not nailed?

      Since he played very poor, and Ciman came on the pitch for him and scored

    Playing in a FF with no transfers. Who is the best non-Spain, Germany or France GK option please?

    Hart?

    Courtois?
