Weston McKennie
USA
Set for big role in World Cup
McKennie is expected to play a big role in the USMNT midfield during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: McKennie has proven to be a tactical wildcard for Mauricio Pochettino, as he can fill several roles in midfield, but he should play in central midfield next to Tyler Adams and behind Christian Pulisic if everybody is fit for the June 12 opener against Paraguay. McKennie was a regular starter for Juventus in 2025/26, tallying nine goals and six assists across 46 appearances between the Serie A and the UEFA Champions League. He should be an intriguing fantasy option in midfield due to his goalscoring prowess and also his ability to contribute in peripheral categories.
Muted display against Torino
McKennie won one tackle and recorded one cross (zero accurate), two clearances and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Torino.
Analysis: McKennie was deployed as a wingback after a couple of contests as a no.10, and his production suffered as a result of the diverse role. He registered at least one key pass in his final 10 showings, amassing 19. He's had his best season yet in 2025/2026, scoring nine goals, dishing out six assists and logging 55 shots (23 on target), 66 chances created and 65 tackles in 46 games.
Dishes out assist in Bologna clash
McKennie assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Bologna.
Analysis: McKennie returned to his usual workload following a one-game suspension and teed up Khephren Thuram in the second half with a surgical delivery from the right wing, notching his fifth helper in the campaign. He has tallied at least one key pass, totaling 10, and one cross, accumulating eight (two accurate) in his last five appearances, adding six tackles (four won) and seven clearances during that stretch. Additionally, this marked his third outing in a row with one or more shots, for a total of five (one on target).
