<h2>Idrissa Gueye (£7.2m)</h2>
<p>Once a Sky legend for his tackling prowess, Gueye is still the man when it comes to robust international displays.</p>
<p>He registered a whopping eight tackles in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Egypt.</p>
<p>And in the playoffs for a spot in Qatar against the same team, he posted five and seven tackles across the two legs.</p>
<p>Is it time for the Everton man to write his name into the Sky fantasy history books once again?</p>
<h2>Marcelo Brozovic (£7.5m)</h2>
<p>Brozovic could be a monster when it comes to picking up passing points.</p>
<p>He posted some incredible numbers from defensive midfield in the Europa Nations League this year.</p>
<p>Standout numbers include a mammoth 107 passes against defending World Cup champions France, the same amount he completed against Austria.</p>
<p>In the other game against the French, he managed 96 passes and against Denmark, he posted 78 and 66 in the two ties against the Scandinavians.</p>
<div>Brozovic, of Inter Milan, could also pick up the odd tackle bonus. He managed five, enough for tier-two, in one of the games against France.</div>
<div></div>
<div>He represents a saving of £0.7m over <strong>Luka Modric (£8.2m)</strong> &#8211; who also has passing bonus potential &#8211; and will be in significantly fewer sides than the Real Madrid man come the start of the tournament.</div>
<div></div>

<div id="attachment_51020" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-51020" class="size-full wp-image-51020" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/World-Cup-Croatia-Brozovic.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/World-Cup-Croatia-Brozovic.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/World-Cup-Croatia-Brozovic-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/World-Cup-Croatia-Brozovic-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/World-Cup-Croatia-Brozovic-610x407.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-51020" class="wp-caption-text">Marcelo Brozovic.

<h2>Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£7.4m)</h2>
<p>The Danish midfielder&#8217;s attraction didn&#8217;t reach the ceiling of Brozovic&#8217;s passing numbers in the Nations League, however he has shown his ability to pick up passing bonus regularly.</p>
<p>A total of 64 passes and four tackles against France was the highlight in terms of picking up two types of bonus.</p>
<p>But he managed the equivalent of passing tiers in four out of six games, three at levels good enough for tier two.</p>
<p>On the occasions he fell short, one was just three passes shy and the other saw him score a goal to compensate.</p>
<p>And that is the experience of Hojbjerg in the Premier League Sky game &#8211; he has the potential for a little bit of everything, and £7.4m represents excellent value.</p>
<h2>Tyler Adams (£7.3m)</h2>
<div>Adams has shown his ability to amass both passing and tackle points in his debut season for Leeds.</div>
<div></div>
<div>And it&#8217;s no different for his international team, either.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The USA played Saudi Arabia in September, a game in which Adams managed 67 passes and four tackles.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Against Japan four days earlier, he completed 70 passes &#8211; but no tackles on that occasion.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Tackles seems to be the more reliable route to Adams&#8217; returns, judging on other recent games, however don&#8217;t rule out the potential for passing bonus in the groups.</div>
</div>
<h2>Moises Caicedo (£7.1m) &#8211; Ecuador</h2>
<p>The Brighton midfielder has picked up tackle bonus four times for his club this season, as well as a quartet of passing bonuses.</p>
<p>Tackle bonus over pasing is the more likely route to bonus points for Caicedo at the World Cup &#8211; and in Ecuador&#8217;s recent game against Japan in September, he completed four successful tackles, enough for tier one.</p>
<p>Caicedo does play a slightly more advanced role for his country however, so tackle bonus may not be quite as regular as it is for his club.</p>
<p>Caicedo scored two and assisted four in qualifying, so attacking returns as well as some bonus points are on the agenda.</p>
<p>He could be an option for the first game of the tournament &#8211; Qatar v Ecuador &#8211; as could fellow Brighton star <strong>Pervis Estupinan (£6.5m)</strong>, who can point to performances against Paraguay (four tackles) and Colombia (five tackles) in qualifying as signs of his tackle potential.</p>
