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.

    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 news on Fabregas if he is likely to start?

      1. Hank10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours 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 ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 hours ago

          Hmm, tnx

          Might go with Hamsik

    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!
      • 12 Years

      Nolito Kdb

  4. Honda Beach!

    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
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

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

    2. FPL Panda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Juanfran defo starting ahead of azpi yeh?

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Of course. Azpi is rather substitutuon for Alba

  5. Slam

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

    1. Slam
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Payet

      1. Ratatouille
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        Done 🙂

      2. MarvelouSuccess
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 hours 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™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 hours ago

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

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Payet

  7. Dutchboy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Is Gotze expected to start

    1. Golden Goal
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

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

      1. Golden Goal
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        What's ur line up?

        1. Dutchboy
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 hours 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
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 4 hours 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
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 4 hours ago

              Cool haha. Liverpool and you?

              1. Golden Goal
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 4 hours ago

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

  8. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 hours 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™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      yes

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Yes

      Bench is only for players playing later. Regardless of quality

    Sommer nailed on?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Yeah

  10. fitzy
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 hours 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
      8 years, 4 hours 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          8 years, 4 hours 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
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 hours ago

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

  11. Slam
    • 8 Years

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

    1. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Walker

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      I still think Dier considering Englands CS record in qualifying

      1. Slam
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

        1. SweepaKeepa
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 hours ago

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

    3. tm245
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

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

      1. Slam
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 hours 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
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Giacherrini 🙂

    5. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 hours 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
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Is everyone leaving Griezmann for Giroud?

    1. Creedey
      • 9 Years

      I really dont want to! :O

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Nope

    3. tm245
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Always been Giroud for me.

  13. GuyIncognito
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 hours 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
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Yes as long as its a valid formation

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          8 years, 4 hours ago

          Only for the gifted

    2. tm245
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Yes, a nice feature of this format.

  14. tm245
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 hours 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
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Strinic nailed?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      I hope so 🙂

    2. GuyIncognito

      Definitely not but he's 4 million.

  16. Jacket Potato

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

    1. fitzy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      So so close.

      Second because I think hazard could be explosive

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

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

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

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 11 Years

      B but that's tough

    So have we decided to Guerreiro or not to Guerreiro?

    1. Slam
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

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

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

    2. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 hours 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!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

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

        1. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 hours ago

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

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Not worth it since he plays at the last day imo

      Strinic or Ciman your best bet I guess

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        Yeah, cheers Jaks.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 hours 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

    2. MarvelouSuccess

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

  29. Dutchboy
