James: I want Scotland's Scott McTominay and France's Kylian Mbappe - haha! Chris: I keep seeing our current and ex-club players doing so well at the World Cup, such as Sweden's Yasin Ayari (need to keep him), Paraguay's Julio Enciso (why did he leave?) and Germany's Deniz Undav (why did he leave as well?).
