France: The Favourites' Blueprint
Deschamps runs a pragmatic 4-3-3 that protects Mbappé as the main outlet. Saliba and Hernández anchor a back line that's conceded just twice in four group games. Fantasy managers stacking French defenders have picked up 11 clean-sheet bonus points combined — the highest nation tally so far.
The midfield trio of Tchouaméni, Rabiot, and Griezmann (not in our pool) sits deeper than you'd expect, which means Mbappé and the overlapping full-backs carry most of the attacking threat. If you're captaining French assets, Mbappé is the safe play; Saliba is the value pick hiding in plain sight.
Brazil: Flair With Structure
Dorival's 4-2-3-1 looks loose on paper but the shape holds in transition. Vinícius owns the left channel, Raphinha rotates in from the right, and Alisson has faced the fewest shots on target of any starting GK in the tournament.
Brazil's group was kind on paper, but the knockout path gets nasty fast. Managers who tripled up on Seleção assets early are sitting pretty — chemistry bonuses kick in hard when you own Vinícius, Raphinha, and Alisson together. The risk? Dorival might bench Raphinha for a more defensive winger in the quarters.
