Reliable wing-back for Czechia
Coufal is expected to make consistent appearances as his national team's most advanced defender in a right wing-back role at the World Cup.
Analysis: Coufal has been one of Czechia's most regular performers during the qualifying rounds, playing nearly every available minute while contributing one goal and one assist across nine appearances. He also enjoyed a productive Bundesliga 2025/26 season with Hoffenheim, finishing second on the team with eight assists. His attacking involvement extends beyond overlapping runs, as he frequently delivers dangerous balls from indirect set pieces. That combination of playing time security and chance-creation ability gives him solid fantasy appeal from a defensive position. Still, his offensive contributions might be limited when facing tougher sides, and his long-term appeal will depend on whether his team can outperform such opposition in the knockout stages.
Leader in multiple stats
Coufal crossed six times (two accurate), made two interceptions and four clearances during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Gladbach.
Analysis: Coufal was active on both sides of the ball leading Hoffenheim in crosses, interceptions and clearances. The fullback ends the year starting all 34 Bundesliga matches, combining for nine goal involvements and 209 crosses, the third most in the league.
