Methodology
How the projections are built
No hot takes. Three models do the heavy lifting so you can pick on the numbers, refreshed every day during the tournament.
Expected points (xPts)
A market anchored model projects each player's fantasy points per round from goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, cards and set pieces, weighted by recent form and fixture difficulty.
Start probability
Minutes and rotation risk are modelled for every player, so you back guaranteed starters and never captain someone headed for the bench.
Fixture difficulty
A Poisson model blends expected goals (xG) with live market odds to rate every fixture and each team's chance of winning the round.

Fantasy World Cup 2026
What is Fantasy World Cup 2026?
Fantasy World Cup is FIFA's official fantasy football game for the 2026 tournament across the USA, Canada and Mexico. You pick a squad of real players within a fixed budget, name a captain, and bank points whenever your picks score, assist, keep clean sheets and more, then make transfers between rounds as teams are knocked out.
Now that the group stage is done and 48 teams have been cut to a knockout bracket, the gap between winning your mini-league and finishing mid-table comes down to two things: backing players from the teams that go deep, and timing your captain, Wildcard and transfers around each tie. That's exactly what FantaLens is built for: rebuild your team in the Squad Builder, then sharpen every pick with the Player Explorer, fixture difficulty ratings and expected points.
