Watchlist

01

Alphonso Davies

Canada

Canada belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts. Their hook is simple: A Marsch team with Davies and David as headliners, but the real test is defensive maturity on home soil. Expect wide overload, star led, possession control themes, with Alphonso Davies the easiest player entry point.

Expect system control, wide overload, star led themes, with Edin Dzeko the easiest player entry point.

Granit Xhaka

Switzerland

Switzerland belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts.

Expect system control, star led, compact block themes, with Granit Xhaka the easiest player entry point.
