The FIFA World Cup 2026 starts this time next week. Football fans worldwide are busy picking their fantasy squads for the tournament. Germany has many strong options for your team.
Manuel Neuer will be the first-choice keeper. The 40-year-old returned from international retirement. He kept a clean sheet every three games last season and saved 62% of shots. He costs €5 million.
Joshua Kimmich is the captain and plays at right-back. He costs €5.5 million and takes important set-pieces. He should play every match.
Jonathan Tah will likely play at centre-back for €5.3 million. David Raum is another good choice at left-back. He costs €4.9 million and got three goals and seven assists for RB Leipzig last season.
However, Nathaniel Brown could start instead. The Eintracht Frankfurt player costs only €4.7 million. He played in the friendly against Finland and might face Curacao in the first game.
Florian Wirtz is key in attack despite problems at Liverpool. He scored three goals and made two assists in his last three games for Germany. He is priced at €7.5 million.
Jamal Musiala is very talented but costs €8 million. He had ankle injuries this season. Germany may manage his time during Group E matches.
Lennart Karl is a great budget pick at €4.8 million. The 18-year-old scored against Finland on Sunday. Manager Julian Nagelsmann likes him.
Kai Havertz will be the main striker. The Arsenal player is fit again after scoring in the Champions League final. He costs €7.8 million and will take penalties.
Deniz Undav is a good backup option at €6.6 million. He scored twice against Finland. He also got 25 goals for Stuttgart this season.
