5. Andy Robertson

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is expected to be Andy Robertson’s swansong. The Scotsman has solidified his place as one of the greatest defenders of the 21st century, and his partnership with Trent Alexander-Arnold will forever be iconic in Premier League history. However, Robertson will have his last chance to represent Scotland originally at a major competition.

4. Ben Gannon-Doak

New player in the scene, Ben Gannon-Doak, can enjoy his breakthrough campaign at the FIFA World Cup. The 20-year-old can play as a winger or a full-back and can cause problems for the opposition due to his style of play. However, Gannon-Doak is primarily brought into the play as a substitute by Steve Clarke.

3. Josué Casimir

Josué Casimir broke into Haiti’s national squad in October last year and has since become one of the nation’s most promising talents. The playmaker can also feature on the right flank, adding versatility to the side.

The side also creates a majority of goal-scoring opportunities from vertical, high-speed counterattacks, which require fewer touches. Thus, Casimir’s speed could be crucial for that. Meanwhile, he also helped Les Grenadiers secure a seat in the FIFA World Cup 2026 by assisting the winning goal in the final qualifier against Nicaragua.

2. Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde

Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde’s creativity and ability to create chances are Haiti’s top hopes for goals. The Wolverhampton Wanderers attacking midfielder switched his international allegiances from France to Haiti at a crucial moment in the nation’s World Cup qualifying journey.

However, it remains to be seen if he can help the Les Grenadiers secure points at the FIFA World Cup. Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde’s partnership with Josué Casimir will be crucial for both sides in the group stage fixture.

1. Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay, who reinvented himself at Napoli in the last couple of years, has solidified himself as an elite playmaker. The former Manchester United midfielder can score from outside the box, while he can also make runs in the final third.

Scott McTominay is also a big-game player who steps up when his team needs him most. With McTominay in the line-up, Scotland’s set piece also becomes stronger. However, as per the team’s formation, he might have to stick to the backline at the FIFA World Cup.
