Fidalgo created one scoring chance in Thursday's 2-0 victory versus South Africa.
Analysis: Fidalgo put in a fair performance in ball distribution duties, with his most relevant contribution being a scoring chance created in his World Cup debut. The naturalized Mexican worked alongside Brian Gutierrez as the more advanced members of a central midfield trio while Erik Lira stayed behind them. That should be the case again in upcoming fixtures, so Fidalgo could be relied on mostly for pass accuracy and individual duel success. However, he may often be subbed off and could lack involvement in the final third compared to other attackers.
Representing Mexico in World Cup
Fidalgo will look to earn starts at the international level as one of the top ball distributors on Mexico's World Cup roster.
Analysis: Fidalgo is poised to make his World Cup debut with Mexico after spending most of his professional development in the country and becoming a naturalized citizen in 2026. The box-to-box midfielder, now with Spanish club Real Betis, cooled off late in the campaign following a strong start to the year, but he remains a candidate for regular minutes in the international event. His fantasy value projects as fairly balanced, with his passing quality helping him get involved in playmaking and possession sequences. During his recent club action, he scored one goal in 13 games played (10 starts) across all competitions.
