With Salah is likely to miss the first match of the group stage, our Fantasy writer looks through Egypt's squad and picks out the best of the rest
The fact that we’ve chosen to start with the Egyptian team may seem a strange one at first glance. Sure they have Salah and a pair of former Premier League defenders in Ahmed Hegazy and Ali Gabr, but what makes them worthy of their own article? Simple. They have a double game week to start the World Cup.
For those unfamiliar with the concept of a double game week, this means that certain players, in this case Egyptian ones will play two matches in one “week” which gives them an advantage over all other players and the opportunity to rack up serious Fantasy points.
