Reece James - Creative impact in draw James had four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Ghana.

Impact James had plenty of chances to move forward from a right-back spot, but none of his cross attempts led to a goal Monday. While he wasn't busy defensively, he improved on his attacking numbers from the initial game, boosting his tallies to two chances created and five crosses across 180 minutes of play. He could remain valuable in future contests given his consistent playing time and offensive upside.

Nicolas Jackson - Provides assist in second WC match Jackson assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-2 loss to Norway.

Impact Jackson completed a short pass for Ismaila Sarr to convert in stoppage time of a difficult matchup. The striker also added to his four shots and three chances created in two matches played during the tournament, while the assist marked his first direct contribution over that period. He'll hope to lead the front line again in a potentially easier test versus Iraq, who have conceded seven goals across their previous two games.

Enzo Fernandez - Registers two shots Fernandez recorded one chance created and two shots in Monday's 2-0 win over Austria.

Impact Fernandez was a bit more active in the attack than he was in Argentina's opener, as the midfielder was able to record two shots, although neither was on target. Either way, the midfielder has put in two solid shifts in his two 90-minute starts so far, helping his team to two clean sheets.

Impact Gusto did not finish Wednesday's training session but the reassuring update suggests there is no serious concern ahead of France's second group fixture against Iraq on June 22.

Pedro Neto - Provides early assist in opener Neto assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against DR Congo.

Impact Neto assisted Joao Neves' early opener in Portugal's 1-1 World Cup draw with DR Congo, delivering a sharp cross from the left that allowed the midfielder to head Portugal in front after just five minutes. He remained active in the first half and drew a yellow card from Chancel Mbemba in the 31st minute, but Portugal's attack lost bite as the match turned into a grind after DR Congo's equalizer. Neto ended the game with one chance created, four crosses (two accurate) and one tackle and seems to have an edge over Rafael Leao to start on the left wing.

Impact Gusto's quick clearance is a relief given the proximity of the World Cup, with the Chelsea right-back representing a decent alternative option behind Jules Kounde and Warren Zaire-Emery in the battle for the starting spot on the right side of the defense. Gusto ended a solid season with three goals, five assists and 73 tackles across 45 appearances for Chelsea, giving coach Didier Deschamps valuable depth on the right flank heading into the tournament.

Reece James - Register's 90 minutes Wednesday James recorded one shot, a cross and three clearances in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact James was on the field for the entire 90 minutes Wednesday as he played a right-back and defensive midfielder role for the squad, not moving up to the later unitl Djed Spence was brought on in the second half. He would see some two-way play, but was nowhere near a crucial factor for the team. He should maintain a starting spot in the squad as they move forward.

Enzo Fernandez - Active defensively in win Fernandez generated four tackles (three won), five duels won, one clearance and two interceptions in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Algeria.

Impact Fernandez didn't do much offensively, but he covered plenty of ground in the middle of the park and racked up excellent numbers defensively. The Chelsea midfielder should continue to have a key role for Argentina in the upcoming matches, but his lack of contributions on offense limits his fantasy upside a bit.
