Most of the players are from Norway, the Dutch and Belgians are also represented more than once, and one player flies the Germany flag. Here is the top-ranked team in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers:
According to this, Norway's Martin Odegaard (who provided the most assists with seven) had the best performance in World Cup qualifiers from March to November this year, followed by his teammates Erling Haaland (who scored the most goals in qualifying with 16) and RB's Antonio Nusa.

Belgium is represented by Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, while the Netherlands are represented by Denzel Dumfries and Virgil van Dijk. Alongside the Liverpool defender, somewhat surprisingly, is Danish international Andreas Christensen in the second centre-back position, although he and his team missed out on direct World Cup qualification and are due to qualify for the knockout stages.
The Spaniards, who qualified before the last match day, are represented by Mikel Oyarzabal. Irishman Caoimhín Kelleher has kept the clean sheet and, as the only German, defender David Raum is included.
In terms of leagues, the Premier League is by far the most represented, with five players. La Liga, Bundesliga and Italian Serie A each have two players on their rosters.
