Florian Wirtz - Key attacker for Germany Wirtz is set to be a starter and key piece of the German young attack at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact Wirtz is making his World Cup debut in 2026 after an ACL injury left him out of the 2022 tournament, set to start alongside Jamal Musiala as an attacking midfielder. After an underwhelming first season with Liverpool, he is looking to rebound at the World Cup, earning six goals and six assists in 44 appearances between UCL and league play. However, with the help of his technical attacking partners and an abundance of playmakers around him, he is likely to see numerous chances at goal contributions during the World Cup. With a weaker group stage to take part in, Wirtz could see a great tournament, although this will heavily depend on how far the team makes it in the competition.

Alisson - Tipped to start for Brazil Alisson is expected to be Brazil's starting goalkeeper at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact While it'd be fair to say this was a down season for Alisson, as he dealt with multiple injuries and was limited to just 26 Premier League starts, he's still locked in as the starter between the posts for Brazil ahead of the other options, Ederson and Weverton. Between the Premier League and the UCL, Alisson made 32 appearances for the Reds -- his lowest since 2023-24 -- and allowed 34 goals while making 70 saves and posting 12 clean sheets. His experience at this stage, having been the starter for Brazil in the 2022 World Cup as well, will be key to La Selecao's chances of winning their first World Cup title since 2002.

Ryan Gravenberch - Set for standout World Cup Gravenberch has been named in Ronald Koeman's squad for the 2026 World Cup, set to play a key role in the Netherlands' midfield.

Impact Gravenberch delivered his most complete season to date with Liverpool FC, contributing six goals and six assists alongside an impressive 76 tackles and 74 interceptions across 50 appearances, including 47 starts in all competitions. The numbers mark a clear step forward from previous campaigns, with the Dutch midfielder establishing himself as one of the most well-rounded box-to-box options in the Premier League and showcasing the defensive solidity and attacking output long expected since his arrival at the club. His ability to cover ground, win the ball back and transition quickly into attack makes him one of the most complete midfield profiles in coach Ronald Koeman's squad. At international level, Gravenberch is part of what is shaping up to be one of the most balanced and talented midfield trios at the tournament alongside Frenkie de Jong and Tijjani Reijnders. His box-to-box energy and defensive output provide the engine room with the intensity and work rate needed to complement the more technical profiles around him. A full season of consistent starts at Liverpool has given him the confidence and rhythm to perform at his best when it matters most, making him one of the more reliable midfield options the Netherlands will rely on this summer.

Virgil Van Dijk - Defensive anchor for Netherlands van Dijk has been named in Ronald Koeman's squad for the 2026 World Cup, arriving as the undisputed defensive leader of the Netherlands.

Impact van Dijk endured a complicated season with Liverpool FC but remained one of the most influential defenders in the Premier League, starting every match and finishing the campaign with eight goals and three assists alongside 29 tackles, 38 interceptions and an imposing 352 clearances across 54 appearances in all competitions. The numbers reflect a player who continues to operate at an elite level despite Liverpool's somewhat disappointing results this season, with his aerial dominance, reading of the game and leadership presence making him as valuable as ever at the highest level. At international level, van Dijk is far more than just a defensive anchor for the Netherlands. His ability to threaten from set pieces with his powerful heading game gives the Oranje an additional weapon at dead-ball situations, making him a genuine goal threat from corners and free kicks in a tournament where margins are tight. Paired with the pace and athleticism of Micky van de Ven, the Dutch defensive partnership has the potential to be one of the most formidable at the entire tournament. At 34, this figures to be van Dijk's final World Cup, adding a significant emotional dimension to what is already one of the most anticipated tournaments in recent memory for the Netherlands.

Cody Gakpo - Likely starter at World Cup Gakpo enters the 2026 World Cup as one of the Netherlands' most reliable attacking outlets, having earned his place in Ronald Koeman's squad and is expected to start on the left wi...

Impact Gakpo endured a somewhat inconsistent season with Liverpool, contributing nine goals and six assists alongside 76 key passes across 51 appearances including 40 starts in all competitions. While the numbers reflect a campaign that never quite reached the heights expected of him, his ability to influence matches through volume of involvement, direct running and delivery from wide areas remains a significant asset. At international level, Gakpo is one of the first names on the teamsheet for the Netherlands, bringing a combination of technical quality, physical presence and delivery that gives manager Ronald Koeman's side a consistent threat down the left flank. His ability to cut inside and shoot, combine with runners in behind and deliver dangerous set pieces makes him one of the more complete wide options at the tournament. The Netherlands have genuine ambitions of going deep in a World Cup, and Gakpo's form and fitness will be one of the more closely watched factors as the tournament progresses.

Jeremie Frimpong - Misses World Cup selection Frimpong was not included in the Netherlands' World Cup squad, capping off a difficult season on both club and international fronts.

Impact Frimpong struggled to establish himself as a consistent performer at Liverpool this season, managing just one assist and no goals across 21 Premier League appearances including 12 starts. The right-back has found it difficult to replicate the form that made him one of the most dynamic wide defenders in Europe during his time at Leverkusen, and his omission from the Dutch squad reflects the inconsistency he has shown throughout the campaign. His inability to contribute meaningfully in the attacking third, where he had previously been so dangerous, has been the most notable aspect of a frustrating year. Frimpong will now turn his attention to pre-season, where a strong showing could go a long way toward putting himself back in contention for the national team ahead of the next international window. At 25, there is no shortage of time for the right-back to rediscover his best form, but the World Cup represented a significant opportunity that has now passed him by. The challenge heading into next season will be to recapture the relentless energy and attacking output that once made him one of the most feared full-backs in world football.

Ibrahima Konate - Trusted defensive anchor Konate has been named in France's World Cup squad and is expected to provide high-quality cover behind the first-choice central defensive partnership.

Impact Konate wraps up the campaign as a key defensive piece for Liverpool, stepping in with steady reliability and quality whenever called upon during what was a tough Premier League season for the Reds. The center back offers elite physicality, recovery speed, and aerial dominance, giving manager Didier Deschamps a wide range of options beyond his usual starters, while his big-game experience at the highest club level makes him a trusted squad presence heading into the tournament. Konate enters the competition ready to make an impact whenever his name is called, fully aware that every minute could matter in a deep World Cup run, even with heavy competition from Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, and Maxence Lacroix for places. He finished the season with two goals and posted career highs across every major defensive metric with 87 tackles, 41 interceptions, and 239 clearances across 46 appearances (46 starts) for Liverpool.
