:{{ping|Red Devil}} How is this table even generated? If it is just you going through the tables then it seems a bit [[WP:OR]]ish / [[WP:SYNTH]]y.

::::I think it's better to have a peaceful solution, but i do agree with the point raised by [[User:Spike &#39;em|Spike &#39;em]]. The following point on WP:OR states: "The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as '''facts''', allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article and directly support the material being presented." Despite the section currently being highly/mostly accurate, it fits indeed in an original research description. Although i like this kind of data, it would be better to only introduce it when properly/reliably sourced. ~~ [[User:Skydream1721|Skydream1721]] ([[User talk:Skydream1721|talk]]) 18:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
::::I'm an amateur editor, but I get the concept. I understand your point, but this is simple calculations, so I didn't think it needed a source - in this case I believe all sources that give NT squads are the source for our statistics. But if it's a problem, then we can probably wait until Monday-Tuesday, when official stats will be available. We can look for another solution, however before we come to conclusions, I believe the matter will no longer exist, as there will be a FIFA source. Peace!

== Costa Rica: Daniel Chacon and Brandon Aguilera ==

Shouldn't these players be listed with the clubs they have been loaned out to before the World Cup, instead of the clubs that own them? That's how other loanees are treated (and, I'd say, the traditional way to do it).

== Karim Benzema ==

Benzema must remain on the list of players since he appears on the official FIFA list, it is also not possible to drop a player unless he is replaced by another, therefore he continues to be registered, just put the note that he will not be with the team due to injury.

https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/teams/france/squad [[Special:Contributions/189.215.49.142|189.215.49.142]] ([[User talk:189.215.49.142|talk]]) 18:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

:it is a similar case to Dusan Petkovic in world cup 2006 [[Special:Contributions/189.215.49.142|189.215.49.142]] ([[User talk:189.215.49.142|talk]]) 18:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

:::However, he is still registered in case he recovers, he could come back and play, he is not removed from the list of players [[Special:Contributions/2806:2F0:8040:DC78:1D06:F768:C4A7:B0CB|2806:2F0:8040:DC78:1D06:F768:C4A7:B0CB]] ([[User talk:2806:2F0:8040:DC78:1D06:F768:C4A7:B0CB|talk]]) 03:49, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Benzema withdrew injured prior to the tournament and France no longer consider him part of their squad.

In such unusual cases I believe we should rely on the national federation for what players they consider in their squad. [[User:S.A. Julio|S.A. Julio]] ([[User talk:S.A.

== SUBSTITUTES ==

It should be modified in the first section that says "However, teams still may only name a maximum of 23 players on the match sheet for each tournament fixture (of which 12 are substitutes), in line with the Laws of the Game."

This is incorrect as the remaining 15 players will take the bench, as can be seen in this source: https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/media-releases/bureau-of-fifa-council-approves-increase-of-fifa-world-cup-tm-squads-to-26 (See the section "Amendments to the Regulations for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™").
