Born in Australia, Dykes made the bold decision to represent Scotland, a choice that has paid dividends for both player and country. As a forward, Dykes is renowned for his physicality and aerial prowess, making him a constant threat in the opposition's penalty area. His journey to the top has been anything but conventional, having started his professional career in the lower leagues before making a significant impact in the Scottish Premiership. In 2022, Dykes made a pivotal move to Birmingham City, where he has played since, further honing his skills and showcasing his ability to adapt to different styles of play. His international career has been equally impressive, with 40 caps and 15 goals to his name, a testament to his consistency and importance to the Scottish national team.

Role in the XI

Lyndon Dykes is set to be the focal point of Scotland's attack in their projected starting XI for the 2026 World Cup. As the primary striker, his role will be to spearhead the offense, utilizing his physicality to unsettle defenders and create space for his teammates. Tactically, Dykes will be crucial in linking up play, holding the ball up to allow Scotland's midfielders and wingers to join the attack. His presence in the box will be a constant threat, especially during set pieces, where his aerial ability can be a game-changer.
