Germany is among the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and with good reason.
Die Mannschaft will be looking to make amends this winter after a string of underwhelming tournament performances since their 2014 title.
The question is, who of these 26 players should they pick? So, let’s find out…
Julian Weigl, number 26.
Weigl’s performance with Borussia Monchengladbach has been outstanding. Due to Germany’s relative dearth of defensive midfielders, he might serve as a useful backup to Kimmich, Goretzka, and Gundogan.
25 Mats Hummels
After a less-than-stellar 2021-22 campaign, Hummels is starting to regain some of his forms. Cutting thethe cut wouldn’t be out of the question for him.
Benjamin Henrichs, Number 24
The right-backpack back is frequently included in matchday teams since he is an important reserve player in the event of an injury to the starting lineup.
- Matthias Ginter
For SC Freiburg, Ginter has regained his form. He is a solid defender who can play either center or right for Flick, thus he will almost probably bring him to Qatar.
Lukas Nmecha, Number 22.
The guy from Wolfsburg must be called up since he is Germany‘s only true number nine.
Number 21: Thilo Kehrer
Kehrer is receiving the consistent playing time he has been craving since joining West Ham. Even though he didn’t play much in the Nations League, he’ll receive some playing time at the World Cup, including a start against England.
Robin Gosens, Count Twenty
Currently, Inter’s starting left wingback, but possibly Germany’s winter backup.
To the 19th place, Lukas Klostermann
After the number 18, Kevin Trapp

Trapp has been on a roll as of late. The third-string goalie position should be all but assured for him.
Number Seventeen: Marco Reus
We’ll call him Marco Reus.

I’ve hurt hurthurt again right now. His fitness level for the World Cup is looking good. If so, he would be part of the team.
No. 16: Jonas Hofmann

Hofmann’s emergence as a star player for Gladbach in recent months has been one of the season’s biggest shocks. At the World Cup, he may raise a ruckus.
Timo Werner, No. 15

After a horrible time at Chelsea, his confidence has yet to recover. If Germany wants to win the tournament, he needs to step up his game.
Exhibit 14: David Raum

Ever since he joined RB Leipzig, Raum has been the team’s starting left defender.
A.13. Nico Schlotterbeck

The Bayern star is known as one of the DFB’s most controversial players. For months, he’s been woefully unprepared for either the club or the national team. Still, the possibility that Flick would exclude him is remote.
Eleventh, Leroy Sané

Sané’s performances tend to swing from brilliant one week to forgettable the next; Germany will be looking for a more brilliant showing from him in Qatar.
No. 10: Marc-Andre ter Stegen

He has now become Neuer’s backup. The Barça goalkeeper proved he can be relied on at any occasion by starting against Hungary and England.
Niklas Süle, No. 9

In that case, Süle should take the field. In his day, the rear wall was solid as a brick.
To number eight, we have Kai Havertz

Since there isn’t a top-tier forward on the team, Havertz will likely start in that role.
Number Seven: Ilkay Gundogan

To number six, we have Jamal Musiala.

Goretzka is gradually making his way back to peak physical condition after undergoing knee surgery in the summer. His chemistry with Kimmich is magical when he’s at full strength.
The Fourth Tom Müller

Thirdly, Antony Rüdiger

Second, I would want to introduce you to Joshua Kimmich.
