Been a few months since posting this. The squad announcement is tomorrow so should be fascinating to see who gets selected now that we have an extra 3 members to choose from, bringing the squad total to 26.
I've changed a couple of my selections since my post, won't go into too much detail but my squad would be thus:
GK - Pickford, Pope, Henderson (no change)
LB - Chilwell, Shaw (no change)
RB - Alexander-Arnold, Walker (Trippier out)
CB - Maguire, Stones, Coady, Tarkowski, Mings (Dier, Gomez out. If Maguire doesn't recover from injury, swap him for Dier)
CDM - Henderson, Rice, Phillips, Ward-Prowse (Phillips benefitting from the extra places)
CAM - Mount, Foden, Grealish (Maddison out)
Wingers - Rashford, Sterling, Sancho, Greenwood, Saka (Saka and Greenwood get extra place)
Strikers - Kane, Calvert-Lewin
Long story short: defence looks shaky, but the team as a whole has goals in them. Really wanted to fit Reece James and James Maddison in but we have two very good RBs already and I feel with Mount, Foden and Grealish in, Maddison would be surplus to requirements so rather get another pacy player in.
Also, I haven't included them as they've already retired from England duty, but I'd try and fit Milner and possibly Vardy in if I could. The squad is young; not a bad thing but would be helpful to have a couple more senior pros in there to guide them.
