Euro 2016

Set Piece Takers Updated

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.

      Is Fabregas sure to start?

      1. Madderegern
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Nothing's sure - but started last 3 games, so why not you think?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            8 years, 12 hours ago

            ...but then again the last couple of things I've just read seem to show he's a starter! May draft him back in.

            Really not sure on Quaresma though

    Mandzukic at an impressive 35/1 in odds to become Top Goalscorer

    Surely, worth a punt?

    best mid for 7.5? not sold on fab

    currently : Hakan Ozil Alaba Persisic Fab

    1. BigCasher

  7. Miami Monkey

    Germany defense, or Austria defense??

  8. ihateramsey2
    • 8 Years

    Ciman or Denayer? last call

  9. Louis123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Payet or Matuidi lads?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Payet

    2. Louis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      One will play as CAM/Winger. The other will play as CM. I'd go for the more attacking (he has set pieces as well).

      1. Louis123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Cheers fellas

  10. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Any changes here:

    Kozacik Patricio
    Djourou, Juanfran, Dier, Rami, Strinic
    Ozil, Perisic, KDB, Alaba, Payet
    Giroud, Muller, Nolito

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      You've used the Nolito money well.

      I'm personally in the Alba camp and Ozil looks the wisest to downgrade to afford him.

      Looks good though.

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Strong indeed...mids do look great. Are you sure Nolito is nailed on? By downgrading KDB or Ozil you could upgrade Nolito and Strinic...

  11. Crab Bap
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    How many substitutions do you get a day? I presume there is no limit, but once you transfer out, you lose points for that player within that round of games... Correct? So it is therefore best to load starting 11 team with players who play earlier and have a strong bench basically- Correct?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Bench the 4 players including GK playing last. The rest takes care of itself.

      1. Crab Bap
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Takes care of itself, how? Presumably you still have to judge whether it's worth subbing them in?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          You'll know the 11 scores pre the last 4. GK fail = sub. Look at lower 3 outfield players and chances of the subs playing and outscoring/at least matching them.

          1. Crab Bap
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 12 hours ago

            Right that's makes sense, so you can actually sub on your entire bench if you want

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 12 hours ago

              As long as it's before the 1st match of the day. You may have to sub only earlier due to the day they play and if they fail, you get another shot if you are happy with the rest of your teams scores.

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Hit the nail on the head

    3. Crab Bap
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Still not clear on subs at all - can anyone help?

  12. The Iron Tulip
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Just a quick question - if you have 2 players playing the same day but at different times can you bring the sub player in after game 1 to play later that day?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      No

    Kozacik[WAL/2]
    Schar[ALB/2] Rami[ROU/1] Howedes[UKR/3] Walker[RUS/2] Alba[CZE/4] Mak[WAL/2] Perisic[TUR/3] Stanciu[FRA/1]
    Giroud[ROU/1] Muller[UKR/3]
    Patricio[ISL/5] Ronaldo[ISL/5] Fabregas[CZE/4] Mario[ISL/5]

    How's it looking?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      You think Walker is definitely 100% ahead of Clyne?

      1. FFFrog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Undecided between him and Dier - actually backing England's defence in the first two weeks!

  14. Delima
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Think im finally there after 5000 altering...i think...

    Neuer

    Dier Hector Dragovic

    Alaba/ J Mario Matuidi De Bruyne Perisic

    Muller Griezmann Nolito


    Rui Patricio Mak Rami/Chiriches Vrsaljko

    But when i go for Mario instead of Alaba i have extra cash.. Thoughts?
    I should stop it

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Extra cash to do what?

      1. Delima
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Better defender?

      2. Slam
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Dont encourage him 😀 😉

        1. Delima
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          Mario looked tempting, but most of the time i better follow first thoughts...

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Downgrade Alaba to Mario and upgrade Matuidi to Payet if he starts?

      1. Delima
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        I think Matuidi is a sure starter and delivers lots of attacking points at 7 normally.

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Is Schar nailed on?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      yes

  16. Paramaribo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Do you see anything that can be improved in my team:

    Kozacik, Rui Patricio
    Glik, Juanfran, Rami, Strinic, Giaccherini
    Fabregas, Gotze, Alaba, Hamsik, Stanciu
    Ibrahimovic, Muller, Giroud

  17. thesecrethorse
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Sommer (Patricio)
    Rakitskiy - Rami - Guerreiro - Srna - Hector
    Matuidi - Stanciu - Ozil (KDB - Perisic)
    Girioud (C) - Muller (Nolito)

    Is A or B better:

    A: Iniesta + Quaresma

    B: Perisic + Nolito (and 1 mill to spare)

    1. thesecrethorse
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Maybe both Iniesta and Nolito?

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Prefer Perisic

    2. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      B, dont like Iniesta and not sure if Quaresma will start.

    3. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      B for sure

    4. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Definitely B.

  18. Bibelnissen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    So this is my latest draft:

    Sommer - Subasic
    Rodriguez - Juanfran - Giaccherini - Rami - Klein
    De Bruyne - Payet - Perisic - Alaba - Mak
    Müller - Giroud - Nolito

    Captaincy-runs:
    GW1: Giroud-Rodriguez-Müller-KDB-Alaba
    GW2: Giroud-Müller-Perisic-KDB

    Any particular weaknesses?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      2 Swiss at the back is a risk but I like your team.

      1. Bibelnissen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Yeah, the fact that they play so early made me take the chance with those fixtures. Can easily swap both out if they concede. Cheers.

    2. BigCasher
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      No, good team. Personall would do KDB to Candreva/Hamsik and upgrade Nolito to Morata

      1. Bibelnissen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Cheers for your reply. KDB is there for the potential captraincy both weeks. Also he's been on fire in recent week and creates chances left and right. But Nolito is definately punt-y.

      Planning for GW2 is a weakness

  19. Cooper123

    If you were referring to me Doos, didn't mean to bash anyone, just wanting to figure out what people's thinking was! No offence intended

  20. Louis123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    THIS. IS. IT.

    Patricio (Kuz)
    Giacharrini, Hector, Ramos (Strinic, Guerreo)
    Alaba, KDB, Payet, Perisic (Siggy)
    Muller, Giroud, Nolito

    Tell me it's going to be alright? Tell me I can sleep well? TELL ME IT'S BLOODY WELL GOOD TO GO!!!!

    Please.

    2. Johnny Drama

      Defence too weak... No sleep for you my friend 😉

      1. Louis123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        With Spain and Italian cover? Surely not?

    3. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Wow, very similar attack as mine. See above.

      Good team, but worried about gametime for Strinic and Guerreiro..?

    4. Paramaribo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      To me Nolito, Payet and Geurreiro are all unlikely to start

  21. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Is Ronaldo nailed on ? . I think Portugal could easily give Ronaldo a rest after the Champions League final and start Eder in the first game .

    1. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Thinking the same mate i'm going to keep Ronnie for the 2nd game

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        I am not sure if he can do it at this level .

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          At least he is not playing in Stoke

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 12 hours ago

            True 🙂

        2. KingNidge
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          Relatively unproven.. it's a punt for sure

    2. FFFrog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      I took this seriously until I read the name 😉

    3. Johnny Drama
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      I think he is fit after 10 days rest

    4. Paramaribo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Yes - I think their group is also so easy that they will qualify anyway and he will start playing only after the group matches. Most people here are not taking him exactly for that reason 🙂

    5. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      He is a lazy git after all.

  22. Crab Bap
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 hours ago

    Do the captain points get locked in each round of games? I.e you do not lose them if you change captain between last game of round 1 and first game of round 2

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      lose

      A Giroud fail can be replaced etc and a hatty can be kept.

      1. Crab Bap
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        You lose? Don't get that, so basically you need to keep same captain for all 3 games in group?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          Just the 1st game. Matchday 2 is when all countries play their 2nd game.

        2. Crab Bap
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 12 hours ago

          What I mean is if Ronaldo scores 3 goals as captain in first round of games is that locked in moving into second round of games? Or every time I change captain during entire group phase the points of prior captain are lost?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 12 hours ago

            Matchday 1 is finished after Portugal played and no more subs are possible. You could have 3 fails before that with your captain and would lose the captain points when changing.

  23. King Henrik
    • 12 Years

    Can someone please tell me who the fuch is Nolito ?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Spanish Striker who has impressed in recent friendlies and played his way into the starting line-up

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Spain, winger, 4 goals in 3 friendlies, 6 mil on fantasy

    3. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Some Spanish chap that everyone has cause he scored some friendly goals and costs 6m.. hopefully works out as i wouldn't fancy looking for another striker at that price lol

      1. Fergietime
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        Quaresma

        1. KingNidge
          • 8 Years

          Sorted then

    4. FFFrog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      A Spanish winger that may or may not start that scored 4 in 2 friendlies - against South Korea and Bosnia.

      1. FAITHNOMORENO
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 hours ago

        reminds me of munitis.

    5. King Henrik
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 hours ago

      Wow a actually have no idea who this dude is. I think its too big a gamble yo take especially when you have so many good strikers to choose from. Donwe honestly think he will outscore the likes of HurriKane ?

  24. Snapes on a Plane
    • 9 Years

        Get a proper defence. You can replace bad scores with bench players unlike FPL.

      Have you seen us play I would not go with Long , I will give you some general advice Sommer and Patricio are the preferred goalkeeper rotation , Mak and Stanciu are the preferred cheap mids , Peresic , Alaba/Junovic and Nolito . Kozacik is a good 4.5 m goalie , I would not go with three 4m defenders it will end in disappointment , Plenty have Giroud instead of Griezman due to price ,
