Beyond the obvious - Lukaku and De Bruyne - home in on Fulham’s all-action right-back Timothy Castagne. He joint-topped Belgium’s disciplinary charts in qualifying with two yellows and topped their tackles made list with ten. He also chipped in with an assist, 11 crosses and only Wout Faes contributed more passes.

Versatile forward or playmaker Nicolae Stanciu has been earning a wage in Saudi Arabia this season but remains a key figure with Romania, who he captains. Only Razvan Marin committed more fouls in qualifying among the Romanian ranks than Stanciu, who led their goals charts with three and shots fired with 29.
