The Goals

The striker has been in red-hot form and was Sweden's top scorer in qualifying with eight goals. He offers a presence in attack and is capable of sniffing out vital goals. He poses a real aerial threat and will be a danger from set-pieces. The 31-year old could be one to watch in Russia this summer.

One to watch out for

Emil Forsbergburst onto the scene with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and has attracted interest from a host of clubs across Europe with his performances. He has a real engine in midfield and he will be key for Sweden with his control and setting the tempo. He is also capable of chipping in with goals and assists and was voted Swedish midfielder of the year in 2014, 2016 and 2017, suggesting the 2018 World Cup could be his time to shine.

Young starlet
