Top Goalscorer

James – Lautaro Martínez – Had Karim Benzema down before his injury but Martinez is now my bet as I see him being preferred over our Argentine superstar.

Laura – Julian Alvarez – I think our very own Spider Man may very well be up there. We’ve seen how good he is, and he has been given the number 9 for Argentina so surely to get plenty of game time. If Argentina can progress well, I see no reason why he can’t finish up there.

Adam – Kylian Mbappe 6 – Can’t go past Mbappe for the Golden Boot. One of the top talents of his generation and in a talented French squad Mbappe will get the service he needs provided France have a better tournament as holders then they did in 2002.
