Fantasy Football Scout will be the home of World Cup Fantasy this autumn.
As well as providing lots of content on the official Qatar 2022 game, we’ll also be covering the ones run by FanTeam, Sky, The Football Club and Sorare.
In the lead-up to the big kick-off, you’ll find – amongst other things – team previews of all 32 countries that are taking part.
We’ll be picking out each nation’s key creators, goal-scorers and defensive rocks, as well as looking at qualifying records and recent results.
We’ve got correspondents from each nation to call on for expertise and line-up predictions, too, as well as team reveals and strategy tips from some in-the-know Fantasy managers.
This article will be refreshed on a daily basis ahead of the first group match between Qatar and Ecuador on November 20, so keep checking back for more.
