France is the top favorite to win the 2026 World Cup, with three forward lines totaling 855 million euros, and five of the top ten forwards in the world.

2026 is a World Cup year, and the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is approaching. France is considered by media and fans as the primary favorite to win, because they possess the strongest squad, especially in the forward line, which is exceptionally talented.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, French forwards shone: Doué and Mbappé scored, and Olise provided an assist. The foreign media Score90 listed France's forward talent pool and eagerly anticipates the performance of France's attacking combinations in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

France's forward line can fully deploy three different attacking trios, with a total player value reaching 855 million euros. Among the top ten most valuable forwards in world football, French players occupy half of the positions (five). Even the third trio would be a dream forward combination for strong teams from Europe and America.

• Combination One: Dembélé valued at 100 million euros + Mbappé valued at 200 million euros + Olise valued at 140 million euros
• Combination Two: Doué valued at 90 million euros + Ekitike valued at 90 million euros + Cherki valued at 65 million euros
• Combination Three: Barcola valued at 70 million euros + Thuram (the elder) valued at 50 million euros + Akliouche valued at 50 million euros

The top ten most valuable forwards in world football include Mbappé valued at 200 million euros,MbappéHaaland, and Yamal; Vinícius valued at 150 million euros; Olise valued at 140 million euros;OliseSaka valued at 120 million euros; Dembélé valued at 100 million eurosDembéléand Isak; Doué valued at 90 million eurosDouéandEkitike.

Perhaps the dilemma of choice is left for coach Deschamps: which players will he select to form the attacking trio for this World Cup? Will it be Mbappé as the central striker, flanked by Dembélé and Olise? We will see in June!
