๐ ANNOUNCEMENT: with the opening matchday fast approaching, team-specific threads are going to be taking a backseat, allowing GROUP-BY-GROUP ANALYSIS (across the official game, @RealFevrFantasy & @FanTeamOfficial) to take the forefront โณ ๐
As discussed below, I expect Qatar to struggle throughout, suffering convincing defeats in all 3 fixtures. The Netherlands should progress with a flawless record, whilst I expect Senegal to dispatch Ecuador to tie up the group
Since 2021 began, Depay ranks 1st for goals (21) & assists (11) among Dutch internationals, also topping shots (58), SOT (30) & big chances missed (7) in qualifying. And he has pens. & set-pieces!

๐๏ธ World Cup Qualifying: the USA finished 3rd in the final CONCACAF group, boasting strong attacking statistics throughout: only Canada scoring more than their 21. Despite this, there is plenty of room for improvement as they often failed to step up vs. the other top sides

On March 21st, I published a thread predicting the Allsvenskan & #AllsvenskanFantasy season. It's now November 6th, & the season has come to a close ๐
Summary: unfortunately, the strength of the defence wasn't enough to keep them afloat. The worst home record & the fewest goals scored contributed to their sink.
