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.

    Which would you favor for the first round of fixtures? (Three French players subject to being in the starting XI)

    A) Höwedes, Matuidi, Silva and Nolito

    B) Boateng, Pogba, Iniesta and Quaresma

    De Gea, Patricio
    Rami, Rodriguez, Dier, ***, Guerreiro
    ***, Alli, Özil, ***, Alaba
    Giroud, Müller, ***

    Planning to WC after first set of games

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

      A

  2. Paramaribo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    A. Rami, Howedes, Ozil
    or
    B. Juanfran, Strinic, Gotze
    ?

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

      A

  3. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Alaba or Fabregas?

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

      Alaba

    Been away a while from here. Thanks so much for a great season.

    Is anyone playing the Sun Euros game?

    If so, what's the form? Any tips or a rough template?

    I'll love you forever.....

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

    Is anyone considering Srna? Decent chance of attacking points but is 6.0 too much?

    How likely is it that Strinic will start?

    Swiss CBs? Schar 5.5 and Djourou 5.0? Or could Lang 4.5 or von Bergen 4.0 play?

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

      I reckon von Bergen could partner but not sure whether to risk it 😕

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

        Yeah same, von Bergen would be nice.

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

      Too expensive considering the alternatives at that price bracket.

      Schar nailed but other spot is coin toss.

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

        uefa predicted line-ups have Lichtsteiner, Lang, Djourou, Rodriguez...I have no idea.

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

          A hint: don't trust UEFA predicted lineups.

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

            Yeah I don't, but no-one else seems to know either.

    3. Swift
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I'd think Djourou is safe. He played most of qualifying.

  6. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 6 days ago

    To Guerreiro or not to Guerreiro.

    That is the question

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      He'll make for great shouts on match day

      1. George Sillett

        Evening Balders. You seen my e mail of earlier today ? Let me know your thoughts.

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

      If he was playing on any other day, I'd easily take him without a second thought. The last day is so risky 🙁 And we don't even get Portugal's lineup before deadline since Austria play before them 🙁

      1. JÆKS ⭐

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years

      Put him in. Prob won't be required.

    3. psgg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      why not Cedric ? he is nailed and just more +0.5 ?

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Hes nailed? What about Vieirinha

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

          He's nailed too. 😉 In fact, according to information gathered from the users of this site, there are as many as 7 nailed on defenders in Portugal's 4-man defence line. 😀

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

            Cedric it's nailed, Vieirinha doesn't really haves much hype here in Portugal.

            About Portugal the question it's if will start Ricardo Carvalho or Bruno Alves and Eliseu or Rafael Guerreiro

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Guerreiro or Strinic is the question.

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

        Strinic

        Plays earlier

  7. Sune
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Subasic / Almer
    Juanfran / Rami / Guerreiro / Hector / Schar
    KdB / Payet / Konoplyanka / Junuzovic / Perisic
    Nolito / Muller / Giroud

    Rating?

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

      7.5, defence seems a bit too unknown for my liking

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

        Really? Guerreiro should be the only risk, no?

  8. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Who would you back to win more group games?

    a) France (ALB, ROM, SUI)
    b) Germany (UKR, NI, POL)

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

      france to win all, germanys fixtures could be potential slip ups

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

      Both will win the first 2. May rest players in the last match if the group is already won.

  9. ANDYC311

    A) Rami
    B )Denayer,
    C )Guerriero

    1. palace ash

      A

  10. ducksfly2gether
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    A) Mandzukic, Hazard

    OR

    B) Ronaldo, Alli,

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

      B and I don't own CR7.

    1. Judas
      • 13 Years

      im going for him I think

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

      I bought him over Ozil!

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

      I wanted him but don't think he's nailed because of Gomez.

          Food for thought. A banquet for a glutton! 😉

  14. Judas

    When will the lineups be available for the france game? Time wise

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

      1 hr before kick off

  15. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Hazard and Iniesta. Now that's a combo I've not seen.

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

      i'd be suprised to see it myself

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        The template ain't doing it for me.

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

          agreed, it seems a bit boring

          however I don't think iniesta is a good pick

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            That's the only spot I can see some decent differentials.

  16. ducksfly2gether
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    A) Kroos, Hazard

    OR

    B) Ozil, Siggy

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

      B

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

      B. If anything good happens to Iceland, it would happen by Siggy's legs. He carried more than 1 match at Swansea. But internationals are different thing than league. Ozil = Kross i believe. Anyways B

    BEST 4.5m defender?

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

      Guerreiro for 4.0

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

      Lindelöf isnt nailed anymore?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        No clue

  18. Disco Stu

    • 14 Years

    Any benefit in Howedes > Hector? Have 1.0 in the bank, and it's burning a hole in my pocket

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ahhhh.. Relief 🙂

    Sommer
    Juanfran Howedes Rami
    KDB Gotze Payet Sugurdsson
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    (Patricio, Dier, Stanciu, Gueirrero)

    Hows it looking?

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

      I should number them according to what day they are playing ...

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

      is howedes nailed to start? Germany defence looks quite poor although 5m is a good price. Does he offer anything going forward?

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Very nice.

      Nolito and Gotze are risky but potential rewards are big.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Looks good but tournaments are a whole different game imo.

      If you were to look at similar stats for friendlies in 2013 and 2014 and then compare then to the teams in the World Cup, there would be quite a contrast.

  21. Jazz!

    Hinteregger no longer an option here ... ?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years

      Yup he should start

  22. justmatt
    • 10 Years

    Think I've settled on this lot now. Any feedback?

    Sommer, Patricio
    Ramos, Kosc, Hector, Rami, Srna
    Ozil, Alaba, Fabregas, Perisic, Mak
    Muller, Giroud, Nolito

  23. TheFootballHub
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    IMO ronaldo is a must have

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

      No bigger fan of Ronaldo than myself but there are many different ways to be successful in this game

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

        I think muller will be playing out wide with gomez up up, therefore limiting his chances ( still think he will do well but not quite as good). I feel Lewandoski and bale and zlatan won't live up to their full potential. While ronaldo and portugal will have a great group stage

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

          Muller is at his most effective playing just wide of a central striker.. plays there for Bayern while Lewandowski plays more through the middle... 32 goals this season

  24. rocrocodile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Anyone want to talk me into going 100% template?

    Sommer / Randolph
    Srna / Rami / Hector / Giaccherini / Durica
    Özil / KDB / Fabregas / Perisic / Weiss
    Muller / Giroud / Nolito

    A) Ditch Nolito?
    B) Alternatives to Weiss (he's a nice punt, though)
    C) Anything else?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Junozovic ?

    2. Hank10
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      My only worry is Giaccherini... Conte might go with below midfield:

      ELSHAAWARY------------------------ CANDREVA
      -----FLORENZI---- DE ROSSI -- MOTTA---

      Florenzi left Italy's camp to head back to Rome for his daughter's birth, but is supposed to comeback soon...

  25. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Patricio Kozacik
    Hector Alba Rami Juanfran Giaccherini
    Ozil Perisic Junuzovic Grosicki Stanciu
    Muller Giroud Morata/Kane

    Rating /10?

    1. Hank10
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Top team, just watch out for Grosicki's injury and Giacc's starting status

  26. KingNidge

    Can't ignore Bale any longer he is in 🙂

    1. George Sillett

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

        Too many Mullers about and rightly so he is pure class but so is Bale and he is capable of tearing it up against anyone

        1. George Sillett

      8, reason not higher is due to matuidi, theres lots of love going around for him but I don't feel it with Frances attack don't think he will be influential
