In this article, we look at the latest player odds to Make the 2026 England World Cup Squad and give the latest 26 man roster, according to the shortest odds.
Goalkeepers
Alongside two other players, Jordan Pickford, is the shortest odds of any player to make the 2026 World Cup squad at 1/12 (92.3% implied probability). Barring injury, it seems improbable that Pickford loses his spot as England's number one before June 2026.
The other two goalkeepers also seem a lock, with James Trafford (1/5) and Dean Henderson (1/3) both odds-on to make the squad.
In the squad: Jordan Pickford, James Trafford, and Dean Henderson.
Missing out: Aaron Ramsdale (11/4), Nick Pope (4/1), and Sam Johnstone (10/1).
| Goalkeepers | Odds to make squad | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan Pickford | 1/12 | 92.3% |
| James Trafford | 1/5 | 83.3% |
| Dean Henderson | 1/3 | 75% |
Defenders
After they both scored in Tuesday's match vs Serbia, Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa became the most likely defenders to make the squad according to the bookmakers, at odds of 4/11 and 4/9 respectively.
Arsenal youngster, Miles Lewis-Skelly (4/9), Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold (4/6), and Chelsea's Reece James (4/6) are the highest full back options in the betting market.
England regular, John Stones, sits at 4/5 due to his injury concerns, however, if the City man is fit and playing, he would definitely be in Tuchel's squad.
