We have predicted line-ups for the surviving nations in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to hopefully help you make decisions within your Fantasy teams.

We’ve updated these as of the morning of Thursday 9th July.

They may be fine-tuned further as we get closer to the deadline. For example, we may get more information on Reece James’ fitness for England; he was only in individual training as of Wednesday but is hoping to be fit for the clash with Norway.

The graphics we’ve used come from Lineup11.

    A: Porro, Gordon
    B: Cubarsi, Doué (if Doué starts)

    which one?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      B with if

    2. HVT
      • 15 Years

      A

    3. Yozzer

      Don't get Porro or Digne. One of France or Spain will be playing the 3rd place plat off and rotation usually happens. Can see Hernandez/ Llorente getting a game

        Silly comment. You not only have a semi final to consider but your logic wouldnt be limited to Porro or Digne would it? As Mbappe, Olise, Dembele, Yamal, Cucurella etc etc would all be at risk of rotation...

        Honestly (smh)

    Some great reward!

  3. fenixri
    • 10 Years

    RMT, took -3 for Manzambi

    Freese* Martinez
    Cubarsi Hakimi Cucurella Molina Ryerson
    Olmo(C2) Olise Bellingham(C3) Dembele Gordon
    Oyarzabal Mbappe(C1) Messi(C4)

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years

      Good one
      Lamine and Haaland can give you headache

  4. MEGPAL

    Why do people think that Porro is suddenly nailed?

    1. HVT
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Or Digne?

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Crikey, another dragon!

    3. Camzy

      They are.

      Starting the last two must-win games in the knockout stages is very clearly a sign that they have the position.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Agreed especially for Digne
        Also, we will know before the deadline is Digne starts

  5. Mozumbus
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Quinones Vini Vasquez Munoz > Rahimi Bellingham Digne Hakimi
    4FTs will give me 10 nailed players plus 2 nailed GKs
    Yes or No?

    Bounou Simon
    Hakimi Cucurella Digne Lisandro [Mojica]
    Lamine Dembelle Olise Bellingham [Saibari]
    Messi Mbappe Rahimi

    Shall I take a hit or two to replace Saibari + Mojica > Baena + O'Reilly and get CS Shield, comments please

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      WC in hand so not concerned about which team gets through

    2. HVT
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I’d take a hit for Saibiri, you’d expect France to progress.
      Potentially you are depriving yourself of a player for 2 games at least if you can predict the winners.

      Play shield.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Thanks
        Got WC in hand so not worried about the next match

      2. Winging it
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        You're underestimating Morocco here. The biggest weakness in the France side is Digne and Kounde, if the aformentioned exploit that they've got a real chance of progressing.

    3. fenixri
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I would take different approach and tried to get Haaland instead Rahimi.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Thanks
        I'm inclined towards that but it makes team little unbalanced

        Quinones Vini Vasquez Munoz > Haaland Baena Medina Mazrouei/Ryerson?

        Yes or No?

        I'm sure Medina will start so not concerned about that

        Team will look like
        Bounou Simon
        Cucurella Lisandro Medina Mazrouei/Ryerson (Mojica)
        Lamine Dembelle Olise Baena (Saibari)
        Messi Mbappe Haaland

        1. fenixri
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Its up to you, because this is very different from your first idea and I dont want to sway you from it. Do it what feels best for you.

          But if you go Haaland route and without England cover I would go Ryerson instead Mazroui.

          How are you sure about Medina?

          1. Mozumbus
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Medina I correctly this round as well, because I watched the match and had an idea that he'd be rested in the next one
            Had him last round, replaced him with Mojica, got the reward, but little sad for them that they didn't go through
            Now when Medina is rested and came on the pitch as well, looked better, i think being the first choice he gonna start
            Hope that makes sense, no inside knowledge, analysis based on what i observed

  6. Yozzer
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    I can't afford Kane or Bellingham. Should I get Gordon to cover England attack or just ignore it and get Baena ?

    1. fenixri
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      What Spain players you have?

      1. Yozzer
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Cucarella , Yamal and will have Orylazabol and Cubarsi

        1. fenixri
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Gordon then.

          1. Yozzer
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Cheers mate. I could get Bellingham if I ignored Olayzabol. Tough one

    2. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Watched Gordon, he was influential but will not give you and returns, nor do Baena
      Baena has some edge maybe

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        *any returns

      2. fenixri
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Idk, in NOR-ENG game I expect goal fest because both teams are poor in defence.

        On the other hand I thought Mexico - Eng will be tight game and look what happened

        1. Mozumbus
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          I now expect norway England to be cagey
          Both got the most lethal strikers which they will not want to give any chances
          But as you said, it can either way

  7. Mozumbus
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    WC in hand which I'll deploy in the SF
    A or B?

    A.

    Quinones Vini Saibari Vasquez Munoz Mojica > Rahimi Bellingham Baena Digne Hakimi O'Reilly for -6
    Play Shield

    Bounou Simon
    Hakimi Cucurella Digne Lisandro O'Reilly
    Lamine Dembelle Olise Bellingham Baena
    Messi Mbappe Rahimi

    B.

    Quinones Vini Vasquez Munoz > Haaland Baena Medina Mazrouei/Ryerson?

    Play Shield in the final

    I'm sure Medina will start so not concerned about that

    Bounou Simon
    Cucurella Lisandro Medina Mazrouei/Ryerson (Mojica)
    Lamine Dembelle Olise Baena (Saibari)
    Messi Mbappe Haaland

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Why don't you use your WC?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Without WC I can get all accept for Baena and O'Reilly while still being able to have 10 nailed players plus 2 GKs
        So i think I better keep it for SF which will save me from any upsets and give me liberty this week to choose any player I'd like to and can afford

        1. Mozumbus
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

  8. SpaceCadet

    Medina > Martinez worth -3?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Medina will start so no

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        You have no idea about that though

        1. Mozumbus
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Maybe
          Are you saying you're sure Medina will not start
          I'd love to know that please

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            It's clearly not obvious if he will start or not, so don't tell people he will. He might start, or maybe Tagliafico will

            1. Mozumbus
              • 5 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Thanks but please don't get upset
              I was telling people last round that Medina will not start and transferred him out for Mojica
              This week i plan to take Medina back unless you tell me you're sure he'll not start
              No one here is bound to act upon what is shared, not am I getting any advantage from that, it's bonafide
              Would you care responding to any of my queries around, will be grateful

    2. Gommy
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      No. Certainly not for a hit.

      Whilst it can't be proven, there is a strong feeling that Medina will be back starting for this one. The predicted lineup above tells you that for starters.

      He came off with suspected cramp v Cape Verde and did manage to make an appearance before the end v Egypt. I don't think Tagliafico has covered himself in enough glory to keep Medina out of the side.

  9. Mozumbus
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Sorry for bombarding with so many permutations

    I feel I'm almost there with your support guys, love you!

    A. Rahimi Bellingham Hakimi
    B. Haaland Ounahi Ryerson

    WC in hand so not concerned about the outcomes

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I,d like to say B

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Thanks

    Guys, are we expecting many players rested tonight in the Morocco v France game?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      You must be the weirdest troll account on here. Constantly posting about resting key players in big games.

      The answer to all of your baity posts is no. They will play their best and most obvious team which is very clearly set now for basically every team still left in the competition (arguably England's wide attackers are still up in the air but I'm like 90% sure it'll be Gordon + Saka).

      1. Chester Pepperpot
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Thankyou so much. That's a weight off my shoulders. I had a feeling Olisie was going to get rested tonight.I'd say 95% on Saka and G. Very confident.

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Olise rested 😀 rested and ready for Bayern Munchen summer friendlies?

      2. HVT
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I see your note on Digne above, are you confident on him?
        I can’t afford any other Fra def but could drop to O’Reilly (have Pickford)

        Thoughts??

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Yes I'm confident but we'll know the France lineup before so that adds even more security.

      3. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        We will know that before the deadline as well which this troll might not know lol

  11. Lucky Z
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    What is chio strategy? Shield now and Captain in final?

  12. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    If I choose Digne over Upamecano I could get Maignan for Freese. Any doubts on his minutes?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Upamecano is more nailed definitely
      Who is your other GK

    2. Lucky Z
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      No doubts, also you can wait for starting XI + I think Digne is a better Fantasy asset

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        What Lucky Z said

  13. marcinm220
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Who's MID? Odegard, Olmo, Enzo, McAlister or other? (except Jude, Olisse, Dembele, Baena)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Think I prefer Enzo from those, but not a fan of any tbh

      I'm considering Nusa and Vargas

    2. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Olmo was visible, no returns though,

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      If I could afford it I'd go Olmo.

      But I'm poor so I went Nusa. I just fancy LW vs England.

    4. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I went Odegaard.
      But I'm nowhere rank wise.

      Barcola/Odegaard/Baena/Olise/Bellingham

  14. HVT
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Ok to take a hit? -3

    I’ve 5 players out or just play with 14?

    Player in is Baena (-3)?

  15. karam94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    What's the state of play on Vargas? Argentina have a leaky defence.

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      he is bound to score 15 pts since I sold him

  16. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    When we use the CS chip, do only the starting 11 get the points? I would think so but want to make sure.
    Thanks guys!

    I wouldn't be surprised if Morocco were to beat France, they are more than capable. Surely they'll be looking to exploit the weaknesses of Digne and Kounde. If Tchouameni isn't fit that could be an issue as well.
