It’s ‘favourites v rank outsiders’ in Group B today as Switzerland face Qatar.
Kick-off in San Francisco is at 20:00 BST.
TEAM NEWS
Switzerland’s five most-owned players in Fantasy FIFA World Cup 2026 all start:
That includes Breel Embolo ($7.5m), who briefly had visa issues in the run-up to the World Cup.
Anyone who tried to save $0.1m by going for Silvan Widmer ($4.2m) over Nico Elvedi ($4.3m) will be disappointed, however: the former is benched tonight.
We’ll wait to see how Switzerland line up but it looks like Michel Aebischer ($5.9m) may be at right wing-back.
Gregor Kobel ($4.7m), in 6% of Fantasy squads, is the only player on show tonight who won’t qualify for Scouting Bonus.
There are certainly no Qatar players threatening to reach the dreaded 5% threshold.
Only one of their starting XI, Jassem Gaber ($5.0m), features in more than 0.1% of Fantasy teams.
