TONI KROOS Germany There aren’t many better passers in world football than Kroos! He’s known as “The Waiter” in Germany because of his ability to put the ball on the plate for his team-mates – be it from a pinpoint pass, fine free-kick or one of his expertly-delivered corners! JORDAN HENDERSON England He might not be the most exciting name on the Three Lions team sheet, but he’s definitely one of the most important! Hendo has the confidence to take the ball off his defenders and the ability to launch attacks. We just hope he’s fit in time!

HARRY KANE! The Three Lions have one of the most dangerous strikers in world football in the form of Tottenham’s Harry Kane! Nobody scored more goals at the World Cup in 2018, and he’s a better player now than he was three years ago. Firing his country to an international trophy would be the perfect way to cap another incredible Prem season! SQUAD DEPTH! The Three Lions won’t be short of options in any position this summer! Only the likes of France and Spain can rival England when it comes to the depth of talent in their squad, so the pressure is on for them to build on their recent performance at the 2018 World Cup! EXPERIENCED HEADS! Gareth Southgate’s men were gutted to go out at the semi-final stage…

OVERCOMING INJURY! ALEX SAYS: “I’ve had a lot of injuries and they’ve kept me out of big games and tournaments, but I really enjoy my football. I’m feeling confident, but I haven’t played an awful lot, so I’m obviously building that up. It’s nice to know that there’s more to come – I always want to add more by producing goals and moments to help the team!” BEING A MATCH WINNER! ALEX SAYS: “I like to be an attacking player and link up with our forwards. I was coming into that kind of form when we played Netherlands and Italy a few years ago, just before I got injured. I brought that form to England and it fitted well but, since the injury, I’ve been trying to pick up where…

RAHEEM STERLING England If you’re choosing Kane as your main striker, think about using Razza on one of the wings – their chemistry for England is sizzling! Sterling’s pace, dribbling and crossing, combined with Kane’s positioning and finishing is the perfect formula to scare any defence! GARETH BALE Wales The Dragons shocked Europe by getting to the semi-finals of the 2016 tournament, and Bale spearheaded their attack with three goals! He’s gonna be their main man again this summer, but do you reckon he deserves a spot in your starting XI? SERGE GNABRY Germany With the likes of Leroy Sane, Timo Werner and Julian Brandt, Germany have loads of attacking talent, but Gnabry has become their biggest threat! The wing wizard scored eight goals in seven qualifying matches – double…
