u really have Griezman on the bench?
also, your Brazil squad is empty
Thanks for the heads up about the Brazil squad. I'll fix it during my break.
I prefer Lacazette to Griezmann.
Totally forgot about Mendy.
I gave Bakayoko the nod ahead of Tolisso due to him getting way more game time than Tolisso. Bakayoko starts for Chelsea game in game out. Tolisso hasn't quite sttled in at Bayern.
It really is...I'd say outside of really Egypt and Tunisia the others are really competitive. Algeria took Germany to the limit last WC.
Nigeria and Senegal could possibly make DEEP runs depending on their groupings.
I personally think France is gonna have the most damaging attack in the tournament. Messi/Ronaldo aside...all of their attackers are clinical, technical and are calm in front of goal and most of all they have young talent. Also, the Giroud/Griezmann connection was gangbusters in the euros. Not to mention, Giroud's conversion rate is bananas. I wouldn't be shocked if Dechamps utilized him exactly the way Wenger does...as a super sub in the final 20 minutes.
Germany also aren't going to work with Wing Backs....if anything I think they work out of a modified 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 where Draxler and Sane can work the wings and Muller/Werner up front with Ozil free roaming in the final third.
With Spain, there is NO WAY IN fukkING HELL Busquets doesn't start in the holding position...period. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some names get added to that list due to the age of some of Spain's players. Deulofeu, Dani Ceballos and Inaki Williams in particular.

I don't know what you're trying to say bro but look back over deschamp's call up history. Tolisso has always been preferred over bakayoko to the point baks said he doesn't understand why he is not getting called up but truthfully he hasn't been that great this season. I doubt he is even in the world cup squad considering he can't even make the team while pogba is unavailable
I feel you on Baks. Like I told another poster, deschamp just doesn't seem to be that impressed by bakayoko. He has called him up very infrequently. I mean pogba is hurt right now. The fact that he can't even get a call up while pogba is injured says a lot.

For club or country? He's been one of Chelsea's most consistent players.

Hail Biafra!
He hasn't been as good as he was for Monaco. I have also yet to hear anyone say they've been impressed by his play this season. He has given the ball away a lot, been sloppy in possesion, his passing has left a lot to be desired, he's fouled alot and at times has just looked overwhelmed. Why do you believe he has been the squads most consistent player? As DM he is not even near the top of PL in tackles or possession retained and leads the entire league in fouls. He only has 2 more tackles than n golo Kante who has missed significant time as well
