World Cup 2018: Predicted Dream Group Stages XI 

Fullbacks

Walker doing media rounds for England

Kyle Walker

An experienced defender, Walker has also provided assists going down the right flank in his preferred right-back position. The player has also improved his positional play and can play on the right side of a three-man central defence making him a versatile option for club and country.

A strong, quick, and smart footballer, Walker will be crucial to England's World Cup run. Drawn with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia in Group G, England should qualify unless something outrageous transpires in Russia.

Guerrero in action for Portugal

Raphael Guerrero

Portuguese left fullback, Raphael Guerrero impressed greatly in Euro 2016 guiding the nation to their first major international triumph. He earned himself a move to Borussia Dortmund and will be eager to replicate his 2016 Euro form to help Portugal to another good campaign.

With Spain, Morocco and Iran in the group, Portugal will have to be decisive at both ends to avoid a repeat of the 2014 group stage collapse. Guerrero is also an attacking option for the country and is a strong defender who will be an important asset for the side.
