RotoWire's 2026 World Cup Fantasy rankings for Matchday 1. Captains, sleepers and value picks built on projected lineups, set-piece roles and fixtures.
Following an injury to Ki-Jana Hoever, Jackson Tchatchoua could be given immediate starts on the right wing, which is enough to warrant Fantrax and Sleeper value.
Bruno Fernandes is a talking point ahead of Fantrax and Sleeper drafts after Man United's summer additions, but he still makes the top 10 of the 2025/26 rankings.
Mohamed Salah is fresh off a monster season and unsurprisingly leads the Fantasy Premier League rankings ahead of the 2025/26 season.
