Michael Olise as 2026 WC Top Goalscorer is a severe market mispricing. He currently holds zero senior international caps for France. His primary role is wide attacking midfielder/inverted winger, historically non-conducive to Golden Boot contention. Top scorers are almost exclusively high-volume central F9s or prolific False 9s with dominant xG generation metrics. France's deep attacking talent pool ensures Olise's minutes and primary goal-scoring opportunities will be severely limited, even if he makes the squad. 99% NO — invalid if Olise converts to a primary F9 and starts every game for France with a 1.0+ G/90 pre-tournament.
