FIFA FanDuel Single Game World Cup Lineup: MEX @ CZE - 6/24/2026 (UPDATED)

Lineup Update (6/24): Updated to the confirmed card — Raúl Jiménez and César Montes aren't starting, with Julián Quiñones stepping into the Mexico attack and Israel Reyes onto the back line. The rest of the build is unchanged.

We've got a Single Game Showdown tonight — MEX @ CZE at Estadio Azteca, kickoff 9:00PM EDT. It's the Group A finale, and Mexico are the heavy favorites in front of their own crowd, so we load up on the Mexican attack with Luis Romo at the 1.5x MVP, pair it with the back line for the clean sheet, and take Czechia's Pavel Sulc and Robin Hranáč as the bring-back. Julián Quiñones leads the attack with Israel Reyes anchoring the defense.

Luis Romo — MVP, $18,600

Romo takes the 1.5x and he's the spend-up this lineup is built around. He's the versatile engine of the Mexican side — involved all over the pitch with tackles, interceptions and progressive passing, plus set-piece duty that gives him a goal-and-assist path. As Mexico control the game against Czechia, his volume of touches gives him both a high floor and real upside, exactly the profile you want carrying the multiplier.

Julián Quiñones — FWD/MID, $13,200

Quiñones is the spend-up striker and the focal point of the Mexico attack. As the central forward and goal threat, he's in line for a steady diet of chances against a Czechia back line that will be defending for long stretches in front of a hostile Azteca crowd. In a game Mexico should control, his finishing ceiling is the highest single swing on the board behind the MVP.

Roberto Alvarado — FWD/MID, $9,800

Alvarado is the second attacking piece and a direct correlation with Jiménez. The winger gets in behind, supplies crosses and finishes chances, and against a Czechia defense under pressure his shot-and-assist volume should be high. Stacking him with Jiménez doubles up on the most dangerous attack in the game.

Pavel Sulc — FWD/MID, $7,400

Sulc is the value piece and the Czechia leverage. He's one of their primary attacking threats, and in a game where Czechia will be defending and looking to spring forward, his moments come in transition. At $7,400 he's a cheap way to get genuine goal upside from the underdog side if Czechia can manufacture a chance.

Israel Reyes — DEF, $6,400

Reyes is the value defender and the clean-sheet piece of the Mexico stack. He anchors the back line with clearances, blocks and tackles, and a shutout is very much in play against a Czechia attack Mexico should keep quiet. He also pushes forward to chip in on set pieces — a cheap defender with a high floor and a sneaky goal path on dead balls.

Robin Hranáč — DEF, $4,400

Hranáč is the Czechia bring-back and a two-way leverage piece. Czechia will spend most of the night defending the Mexican attack, which piles up clearances, blocks and tackles for a center back, and he's a presence on their own set pieces. He's the cheap coverage from the underdog side — the piece that wins if Czechia keeps it close or steals a result.

The lineup at a glance — Romo anchors at the 1.5x MVP with the Mexico attack of Quiñones and Alvarado behind him, all attacking a Czechia side Mexico should control at the Azteca, and Reyes gives us the clean-sheet correlation. Sulc is the Czechia attacking leverage and Hranáč the bring-back from the back line. Pay up for the Mexican attack, stack the clean sheet, and keep coverage from the underdog.

Let's have a big night! 💰🔥
