Why we choose him?
1. He's a Proven Goal Scorer (From Defense!)
Montes is the heart of the Mexican defense and a major threat on set pieces and corners .
He was Mexico's joint-top scorer at the 2025 Gold Cup with 3 goals
Fantasy experts call him "an attractive option among their defenders" specifically because of his attacking returns
A betting tip even lists him at 66/1 to be Mexico's top scorer at the World Cup
2. Mexico Face a Weak MD1 Opponent (South Africa)
Mexico's opening match is against South Africa at the iconic Azteca Stadium, and as co-hosts, they're heavily favored to win . This means:
High probability of a clean sheet = 5 points
Lots of corner kicks = goal-scoring chances for Montes
Mexico has "the highest chance to finish at the top of the group"
3. Elite Physical Profile for Set Pieces
At 191cm (6'3"), Montes towers over many defenders. Mexico consistently uses him as their primary target on corners and free kicks—he's their best aerial weapon.
