  Kylian Mbappe | France | $11.5m

  Kylian Mbappe is the most expensive pick in World Cup Fantasy Football but the French international could be worth every penny given his recent form and goal-scoring exploits.

  With Karim Benzema not 100 per cent, he might even get the penalty duties for France which will be a major bonus. France find themselves in Group G, alongside Australia, Denmark and Tunisia.

  Harry Kane | England | $11.0m

  England's talismanic forward Harry Kane has had a bright start to the 2022-23 season and has 11 goals and two assists in 14 appearances in the Premier League. The Three Lions will be looking up to him to produce the goods in the attacking third.

  He has 51 goals in 75 international appearances and is just three short of Wayne Rooney’s record of top goal scorer for England. Placed alongside relatively easier sides in Iran, USMNT and Wales, expect the 2018 Golden Boot Award winner to bang in the goals in the group stages.

  Lionel Messi | Argentina | $10.5m

  Lionel Messi has been in sublime form heading to the World Cup with 12 goals and 14 assists to his name for Paris Saint-Germain in 18 appearances across all competitions.

  He is geared up to hand Argentina the trophy after a hiatus of 36 years and supporters can expect some fireworks from the little magician. This could well turn out to be Messi's World Cup.

  Neymar | Brazil| $10.5m

  Brazil's hopes of winning their sixth World Cup title rest on Neymar and going by his recent form for PSG we can assume that the forward will shine bright in Qatar.

  He has 11 goals and nine assists in Ligue 1 and is the joint top-scorer. Moreover, he is just two short of matching Pele's international goal tally of 77. He will be looking to break the record in the group stages itself as Brazil have been placed alongside Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
