Watchlist
Christian Pulisic
United States
United States belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts. Their hook is simple: A host with Pulisic's spark, Pochettino's adaptive shapes and the pressure to look like more than a talented project. Expect wide overload, system control, high press themes, with Christian Pulisic the easiest player entry point.
Julio Enciso
Paraguay
Paraguay belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts. Their hook is simple: An Alfaro Paraguay side with old defensive grit, Enciso's spark and just enough flexibility to make favourites uncomfortable. Expect wide overload, compact block, transition counter themes, with Julio Enciso the easiest player entry point.
Harry Souttar
Australia
Australia belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts. Their hook is simple: A Popovic Australia side prioritising defensive stability while hoping Irankunda or Toure can supply the missing edge. Expect star led, wide overload, possession control themes, with Harry Souttar the easiest player entry point.
Arda Guler
Türkiye
Türkiye belongs here because their fantasy value depends on role clarity, minutes, and whether the key attacker starts. Their hook is simple: A Montella team built on width, Hakan Calhanoglu's rhythm and the attacking imagination of Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz. Expect wide overload, high press, system control themes, with Arda Guler the easiest player entry point.
