Zizo

Potential impact substitute

Zizo is part of Egypt's World Cup squad and is pushing for minutes on the flank, coming off a productive club season with Al Ahly.

Analysis: Zizo scored against Saudi Arabia during the March international window but then failed to get involved in a goal while seeing his involvement reduced in three successive friendlies. Still, the experienced midfielder holds 61 caps and five international goals, and offers a direct, right-footed threat from wide that complements Egypt's counter-attacking system well. His club form since joining Al Ahly from Zamalek in 2025 has been rather steady, and he enters the tournament competing with Trezeguet and Emam Ashour for attacking positions next to the squad's star players Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush. Thus, Zizo's fantasy appeal is best framed as a rotation pick who could unlock offensive upside if given meaningful minutes.
