Two more nations get their campaigns underway on Sunday, with Australia and Turkiye looking to join the USA on three points in Group D.
The Cresent-Stars are unbeaten since September 2025, while the Socceroos lost just once in the final stage of AFC World Cup qualifying.
The action gets underway at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada with kick-off scheduled for 05:00 BST.
TEAM NEWS
The only player in Australia’s 26-man squad to boast 1% ownership in World Cup Fantasy is goalkeeper Patrick Beach ($3.5m). The ultra-budget shot-stopper starts in goal, holding off the challenge from veteran Matt Ryan ($4.1m).
Connor Metcalfe ($5.3m) and Jordan Bos ($4.0m) are two assets to monitor. The latter offers strong attacking threat and the potential for defensive returns.
For Turkiye, Real Madrid’s Arda Guler ($7.0m) is the main player of Fantasy interest, sitting in 9.3% of Fantasy teams. The 21-year old notched an assist in a recent friendly and is a key attacking cog in Vincenzo Montella’s side.
Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz ($7.0m) is only fit enough for the bench.
Merih Demiral ($4.0m) starts in the centre of defence in front of Scouting Bonus goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir ($4.2m). The former has six goals for his country and scored a brace against Austria in Euro 2024.
