Andrés Gómez is a forward-line option in Colombia's 4-2-3-1. James now operates slightly deeper as the creative heartbeat, especially from set plays, while Luis Diaz has become the game-changing leader and new central figure. Expected minutes: 0-45 unless promoted into the starting XI. In Colombia's shape, the simple watch is whether Andrés Gómez can influence Colombia early read: whether James is receiving early enough to find Diaz before the defence can double him.
