Fantasy line-up
GK: Ryan
Although Lloris is a veteran with tons of experience, Ryan is relatively younger and is better in his movements, thus allowing him to cut ahead of the Frenchman.
DEF: Varane, Pavard and Hernandez
The French trio have been rock solid at the back and far better than the Australian defenders, making them a must-have.

MID: Mooy, Hrustic, Dembele and Griezmann (vc)
Mooy and Hrustic impressed Australia with their gameplaying abilities, especially by opening up scoring chances. At the same time, Dembele and Griezmann have consistently built up play and holding the ball. Griezmann's reliability makes him the deputy captain.
FWD: Maclaren, Mbappe (c) Giroud
While Mbappe is a no-brainer here, Giroud has been his perfect attacking partner, whereas Maclaren is fast rising as one of Australia's sensational strikers and is a must-have here.
