Sissoko and Payet will miss out......hopefully.

Although, today's rumours are that the FFF will extend Deschamps contract until 2020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why Payet? Payet remains one of the most creative players on the planet easily. Guy has outstanding vision to pick a final ball. But also skilled on the ball and can play directly. For all the hype players like Lemar get, Payet is demonstrably better than they are.

He's the french sigurdsson. Good vision and good at set pieces but not dynamic enough to play with the like of Mbappe or Griezmann.
If Giroud was to be the one leading the line, then maybe.
But If France are planning on play on the counter with tfast transition, then Payet will be pointless in that system,

Olivier Giroud's 28th international goal last night saw him overtake Karim Benzema as France's 7th top scorer in 13 fewer games.

So France really dont need Benzema at all. Think that Mbappe felt the pressure in the qualifier to perform. Not experienced enough.

Griezmann's place shouldnt be cemented at all. For me he hasnt been good for a while now both for his current team and for France as well.

Think as well that France has a midfield problem. Passing and crossing have been absolute disatrous at times. They also have massive problems in defense. Varane makes strange decisions at times and both FB's arent good enough.

To be fair Giroud has been one of the best strikers in Europe for the last few seasons. He is one of the rare strikers who are very clinical in majority of the games he plays so he is consistently very good.

I was looking for this stat, like how many games he got to get there, that's really impressive, he's so underrated.

Mbappe has 1 goal in 8 appearances for France and he is supposed to be one of the main men.

Agree with you on this in general. Dont believe in stats as well.....

Saying that Lukaku e.g. is stat padding as well....From a "donkey" at Everton to being world class at United in a few weeks....
