Friday Best 2026 World Cup Player Props

Ivan Bašić (BiH) –Over 1.5 Fouls Won
Weston McKennie (USA) – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Tajon Buchanan (Canada) – Over 0.5 Shots on Target

Ivan Bašić (BiH) – Over 1.5 Fouls Won

Ivan Bašić enters his first World Cup as one of Bosnia’s most exciting young talents. The 24-year-old is comfortable across multiple midfield positions and has been central to BiH’s possession-heavy system. Whether winning the ball back or driving forward, Bašić is heavily involved, ranking among the team leaders in touches per game.

Across his last 10 matches heading into the tournament, Bašić was fouled an average of 2.1 times per game. With BiH expected to dominate possession, Canada will likely press aggressively and concede fouls in the process.

Weston McKennie (USA) – Over 0.5 Shots on Target

USMNT star Weston McKennie heads to his second World Cup after an impressive showing in 2022. McKennie has established himself as one of the USMNT’s most important players, capable of playing as both a central and attacking midfielder. The 27-year-old arrives fresh off a career-high goal-scoring season at Juventus and will look to carry that form into the tournament.

McKennie has registered at least one shot on target in two of his last four full 90-minute appearances. Expect manager Mauricio Pochettino to lean heavily on McKennie, who has consistently delivered in big moments for the USMNT.

Tajon Buchanan (Canada) – Over 0.5 Shots on Target

Tajon Buchanan has emerged as one of Canada’s most reliable attacking threats despite being listed as a midfielder. Buchanan led Canada with three goals at last year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup, averaging just under one shot on target per game throughout the competition. He registered one shot on target in each of Canada’s two pre-tournament friendlies without playing the full 90 in either.

Buchanan’s combination of a six-foot frame, elite pace, and sharp dribbling makes him a consistent goal threat despite starting matches centrally. He frequently drifts wide to attack defenders one-on-one, creating chances for both himself and his teammates.
