Goal Rush Impact
Pavlović's part in that pick sits at the base of midfield rather than the goal tally: a young holding midfielder named in the final 26, his value to the Germany card is the control and passing he offers from deep, not goals of his own.

Pavlović at the 2026 World Cup
Pavlović is a confirmed midfielder in Julian Nagelsmann's 26-man Germany squad for the 2026 World Cup, listed among the midfielders alongside Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Leroy Sané and Angelo Stiller. The tournament is set to be his first senior World Cup if his place in the final 26 is confirmed at kick-off, and he brings nine caps into a Germany side that opens its Group E campaign against Curacao at NRG Stadium in Houston on 14 June.
Picking Germany in Goal Rush
Germany are a Tier 2 call on the Goal Rush card at £24m within the game's £200m card budget. For Pavlović, the matchday signal is the holding role: Germany carry deep options in central midfield, so whether Nagelsmann starts the 22-year-old at the base is the detail to watch for the Germany team pick.
