Set-piece Takers Top Euro 2024 Fantasy
Kevin de Bruyne aka KdB
Keeping De Bruyne company is Portugal’s Bruno Fernandes. Whether it’s a fizzing inswinger or an outswinger with wicked dip, Fernandes can seemingly conjure any type of corner at will. The Manchester United man’s pinpoint accuracy from corners allows him to pick out targets with laser-guided precision. Don’t be surprised to see him chalk up an assist or two from a dead-ball situation.
Aleksandar Mitrović
The free-kick genius Aleksandar Mitrović will also be one to watch. The Serbian striker’s huge frame makes him a nightmare in the air, but it’s his clever corner routines that keep defenders awake at night. Dummy runs, neat short balls around the box – Mitrović has all the tricks to unsettle even the most organized defenses.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Of course, any list of corner-kick wizards wouldn’t be complete without Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool starlet’s wand of a right foot can bend corners impossibly around defenders, creating panic with each wicked inswinging delivery. If this set-piece master finds his range, even the most compact defenses could be shredded.
