World Cup History
Tchouameni announced himself on the World Cup stage at Qatar 2022 with a moment of brilliance. In the quarter-final against England, he unleashed a stunning long-range strike that flew into the top corner, giving France the lead in a match they would go on to win 2-1.
At just 22, he started all 5 of France's matches in Qatar, playing every minute as they reached the final. His composure in possession and ability to break up opposition attacks made him indispensable. Now 26 and established as one of the best defensive midfielders in world football at Real Madrid, Tchouameni enters 2026 as the undisputed first-choice in France's midfield.

Value Pick
Over 400 Minutes Played is near-certain. Tchouameni scored a screamer against England at Qatar 2022. At Real Madrid he's become one of the best DMs in the world. Over 400 minutes is near-certain as he's first choice — he started every knockout match in 2022 and has only gotten more important since. The long-range goal prop is fun value given his shooting ability and willingness to let fly from distance.
