World Cup Fantasy 2026

In just under a month, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will get underway.

And as ever, there’s going to be a Fantasy game or two to accompany the summer tournament.

The official FIFA Fantasy game has been the main one that we have covered in the past. That should launch very soon.

In the meantime, we’ve started on some content for the summer tournament. This is housed in the complete guide in the top menu.

There’ll be plenty more articles published in the coming days and weeks, too. Part of that coverage will be the usual team-by-team guides on all competing 48 nations.

While we’ll be spending the post-season brushing up on Curacao’s wing-back system, Haiti’s erratic displays in qualification and everything in between, we’d love to hear from any of our readers who are fans of the countries taking part, are based in any of these nations and/or have a smattering of knowledge about the teams involved.

This is something we did for the World Cup in 2022 and the European Championship in 2024, indeed.

If you’re keen, fill in the short form below and select your country of choice. All teams bar England and Scotland are available as an option.

There is a good chance that we may be oversubscribed for some of the more well-known/best-supported nations, but we’ll endeavour to include as many responses as we receive.

      Only one 😆 Bruno Fernandes.

      Kelleher
      Murillo - Tarkowski - Milenkovic
      Salah - Palmer - Bruno - Wirtz - KDH
      Wood - Pedro

      Dubravaka - Alderete - Esteve - Guiu

      Quite proud of KDH though, was bigging him up in pre-season..

      Well deserved. A fun song that won both the jury and popular votes by significant margins, and not because of international politics or votes from their friends and neighbours.

    Is Pedro injured?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I wouldn’t worry about that unless you have Tavernier first on your bench.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

          Richard Emery was a keen maker of scale models, and was president of the Airfix Modellers' Club. Not a lot of people know that.

            Outstanding, I knew he was better than Benny Hill!

              Many will remember the famed Supermarine Spitfire, but not so much the Supermarine Walrus!

    How do I make sense of this? My current score is 12 (-4). Average is 9, so I'm below that. I was ranked 727K before the GW started. And now I'm at 699K.

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Stat You Top10k Overall Legendary
      Score 8 1.73 9.04 1.76

      It seems the higher up your OR the fewer teams around you had players involved in the opening match of the week.

        * by higher OR I mean better OR

      Looking at the wrong metric..go to livefpl and look at safety score instead of the average score.

    Casemiro will play his last game at OT today 🙁

      Will the fans be allowed to pinch his cheeks as he runs off?

    Team news in a couple of hours and still no scout notes on the fa cup final.

      Damn, I wasn’t expecting him to go there. Why would he with Slot potentially at risk. How much money for more transfers has he been promised !

    Morgan Rogers has now produced five double-digit hauls this season

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Hit none of those. Owned him for 30 weeks I reckon.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        It's a roulette table with some players

        Pedro for me at Chelsea

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Yeah him as well. 1 goal in about 20 weeks. Scores for fun when I don't have him.
