Patrik Schick is Czech Republic’s main source of goals but captain Tomas Soucek is the heartbeat of the team and has chipped in with 12 goals from his 69 caps. His aerial presence is a serious weapon, which was highlighted as he hit double figures for West Ham this season. Not one to shy away from a challenge, he is also a leading card candidate.

Dubbed the ‘Turkish Messi’, Arda Guler is a creative, agile player who could star for his country in Germany. Having been hampered by injuries in 2023, the 19-year-old has impressed for Real Madrid in the second half of the season and if deployed in the number 10 position for Turkey, he could find himself chalking up a few assists.
