Proud to wear the Fern at on the world’s biggest stage 🌿

All Whites open their account with a beautiful goal by Eli Just. Wood with the beautiful hold up play!! NZL 1 - IRN 0

Finishing touches 🪡

😭

Crocombe wins the battle for gloves, McCowatt to partner Just and Wood up top in the absence of Garbett, Singh starts and has a huge game ahead.

Did he ever have a bad game? Arguably the most consistent player across AFC’s two seasons, even with his injury in 24/25. Absolute winner. Huge loss.

The Big One, the FINAL Predicted Lineups for 24 of the TOP World Cup teams for MatchDay 1 ✍️ 🟢🟡🟠🔴 = likelihood of a start Assisting you with those nailed on starters and highlighting which options come with risk 🔎 Follow me for more, I’ll be predicting the lineups every MatchDay 🫡 Starting with: BRAZIL 🇧🇷 7 nailed on starters With Wesley out for the tournament, Danilo should replace him at right back Douglas Santos has impressed during friendlies, but the favourite to start at left back is still Alex Santos, I’d avoid both regardless The striker position still feels up for grabs, Cunha the favourite for it, but Igor Thiago has potential Paqueta started in Brazil’s final friendly, but there’s a whole host of players who could take that final spot

My Top 6 Differentials for WC Fantasy 🌎🌟 🇲🇽 Vasquez - $4.7m DEF (~2% owned) Monstrous threat on set pieces with 3 goals in his last 3 starts. Mexico face South Africa and South Korea in their first two games, who are both amongst the shortest teams by height at the World Cup. 🇩🇪 Sane - $7.4m MID (~1% owned) With Karl out injured, Sane’s minutes are now safe on the RW, making him a standout pick as the only German attacker with scouting bonus. Curacao are particularly vulnerable on the flanks too. 🇺🇸 Dest - $4.3m DEF (~2% owned) USA have a very favourable group and opening fixtures against two very passive/defensive teams in Paraguay and Australia. Dest operates extremely advanced from RWB, often finding himself in the box. 🇨🇴 D.Sanchez - $4.3m DEF (~1% owned) Colombia are ranked top 4 for clean sheets in MD1 & MD2 according to the bookmakers. What sets Sanchez apart from other Colombian defenders is his massive threat from set pieces, proven by his goal in the friendly last week vs Costa Rica. 🇦🇹 Sabitzer - $6.8m MID (~3% owned) Austria’s MD1 fixture is there for the taking. Jordan are vulnerable and are at risk of collapsing defensively, which provides a high ceiling for Austrian attackers. Sabitzer is their main man, and is on majority of set pieces. 🇺🇾 Gimenez - $4.4m DEF (~1% owned) Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde have something in common - they both concede a lot of goals and chances from corners. Uruguay face them both in MD1 & MD2, and Gimenez is their biggest threat from set pieces.
