The 4-3-3 formation features Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero and Djed Spence, with Lisandro Martínez completing the defence. That gives Tottenham three players in a position usually dominated by established international stars.
Romero’s selection is backed by his availability and importance to Argentina. He missed only one of the country’s eight matches at the tournament. Spence, meanwhile, was chosen on the left despite being a right-back by trade, highlighting the flexibility valued by supporters.
The goalkeeper vote went to Jordan Pickford, who made 19 saves during England’s run to third place. He finished ahead of Emiliano Martínez, Bart Verbruggen and Alisson.
Rodri is the only midfielder to retain his place from ’s fan-voted Dream XI after winning the tournament’s Golden Ball. He is joined by Manchester City team-mate Elliot Anderson and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández.
Anderson started every England match before the third-place play-off and led the team with 21 tackles and eight interceptions. At the other end, Erling Haaland earned the centre-forward role after scoring seven goals in five games for Norway.
Bukayo Saka takes the right flank after scoring a hat-trick against France, while Ismaïla Sarr completes the attack following four goals in four matches for Senegal.
The XI is also a reminder that fan recognition does not guarantee club stability. Romero is reportedly in talks with Inter Milan, while Tottenham is believed to be open to proposals for Spence. Fernández has also reportedly attracted interest from Real Madrid.
That could make this selection a snapshot of a changing Premier League landscape rather than a fixed hierarchy. The next transfer window will test whether Tottenham can keep its defensive trio together, while upcoming club fixtures will show whether Saka, Haaland and the midfielders can carry their tournament form into domestic football.
