Who are the must-have midfielders in World Cup 2022 fantasy football?
The 2022 World Cup is just around the corner with fans looking to finalise their FIFA World Cup Fantasy teams.
Players need five midfielders to complete their 15-member squad and must work with a total budget of €100 million.
With that in mind,GOALtakes a look at the top midfielders to pick from, including a few bargain buy alternatives.

Qatar is expected to be the Croatian legend's final World Cup, as the Real Madrid midfielder turned 37 in September, which could provide the midfielder with added motivation. Croatia and Belgium are favourites to make it out of a group that also contains Morocco and Canada.

The only risk factor of picking Foden would be the competition the Man City midfielder faces for his place in the England starting XI. However, given his club form this season wherein the 22-year-old scored seven goals and bagged 14 assists, it may well be worth the risk.

With the likes of Cameroon, Switzerland and Serbia in Brazil's group at the World Cup, Guimaraes will fancy his chances of registering some numbers in terms of goals and assists. The midfielder has been in eye-catching form for Newcastle this season and will hope to continue to impress in Qatar.

Having scored twice in the 4-0 friendly win over Nigeria ahead of the showpiece world event, Portugal will be banking on Fernandes to come good at the World Cup after a stellar patch of form at Manchester United in the past few weeks. The chances of him being picked in the XI is also another plus point.
