The FIFA World cup 2022 goes underway on 20th November Sunday with hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador in the opening game. The World Cup break will be a difficult one for those addicted to Premier League fantasy football. However, the World cup has its own Fantasy football for the fans and it should be an exciting one given the format of the tournament. Just like Premier League fantasy football, World Cup Fantasy Football also provides one $100 million to spread over 15 players.

Here, we will take a look at ten forwards who could be good picks.


Rafael Leao (Portugal ($8M) - Rafael Leao could be a smart pick given the form he has been in for AC Milan. With Diogo Jota missing with injury and Cristiano Ronaldo not at his best, Leao could make a strong impression for himself during the World Cup.


Vinicius Junior (Brazil, $10.5M) - Even though the Real Madrid starlet is quite expensive, he could be worth it as Brazil look like one of the favourites and Vinicius Junior is one of their deadliest weapons.

Inaki Williams (Ghana, $6.5M) - In order to create a balanced team, one needs bargain players, as well as expensive players and Inaki Williams, looks like great value for money priced at $6.5M.

Harry Kane (England, $11.0M) - Harry Kane will be the talisman for England once again and he looks like a strong contender to retain his Golden Boot if England manages to have a good run in the World Cup.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (Serbia, $7.0m) - Another low-cost option, Aleksandar Mitrovic has been enjoying himself for Fulham over the last couple of years and could be worth a shot in the World Cup fantasy.


Lautaro Martinez (Argentina, $8M) - Lautaro Martinez has been in great form for Inter and is expected to start up front for Argentina as he is one of manager Lionel Scaloni's favourites.

Kylian Mbappe (France, $11.5M) - Kylian Mbappe will have a lot of weight on his shoulders with France expected to be in contention to retain their title. Karim Benzema missing with injury would add further pressure on his shoulders.


Darwin Nunez (Uruguay, $8M) - Uruguay have a stellar attack with Nunez alongside veteran attackers Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez. The Liverpool striker could be a smart pick for the fantasy tournament.


Ismalia Sarr (Senegal, $6.5) - Ismalia Sarr will be Senegal's biggest hope in the absence of Sadio Mane and he could be a smart pick given his low price.



Lionel Messi (Argentina, $10.5M) - Quite obviously, the final name in this list is Lionel Messi although he is likely to be picked by the majority.
