The list has sparked debate in the FIFA community. Fans are disappointed not to see the names they expected to see on the list but it didn’t happen. Several well-known veterans are not part of the projected team. From the list the company has made, it looks the primary focus this time should be on players who are at the peak of their form. They are expected to impact the tournament. While the game's predictions are not official forecasts, they often spark conversations about football's biggest names.

A closer look at the rankings reveals another trend. It’s the attackers who have taken the highest-rated spots. Players who score goals generally decide the fate of a match. Thus, most attention naturally centers on them. Midfielders remain strongly represented, especially those who control matches at both ends of the pitch.
Defenders are on the list, but the ratio is nominal when compared to attackers. This shows a familiar pattern in the football rankings. Attacking gets more attention and popularity. EA's dream team list may or may not be accurate, but at least fans are now having a roster of players who can shape the 2026 World Cup.
