England's Best Eleven
View attachment 140337
The best 17 players in the England squad are announced and I'll give some information on them

1. Jack Butland- was rumoured to be next Joe Hart , he did move to Arsenal but has failed hold regular GK spot
2. Eric Dier - Can play a variety of positions but in fm is used more in defend and became big part of Tottenham side where he still is
3. Luke Shaw - finally held the United left back role and still there after all them years
4. Ray Bennett - a English Wonderkid rated at 50M playing at Bayern Munich and is like a English Bastian Schweinsteiger
5. John Stones - matured well and is the first choice CB after moving to the role at Arsenal
6. Danny Rowe- One for the future was signed by Man Utd and reminds me of the likes Smalling or Blackett
7. Raheem Sterling - Not as much of ***** in fm he lived up to potential and is one England's key players
8. Ray Storey - Liverpool's new Jordan Henderson playing in the middle of park
9. Lennart Hansen- Norwich have become one of the strongest teams in the league and this player is the reason hopeful he won't join a big club
10. Harry Kane - still England's front man but became a traitor again and when back to Arsenal
11. Dele Alli - Still at Tottenham and still a great player
12. Calum Chambers - couldn't make it at Arsenal but became a vital part of the defence at Bournemouth
13. Lewis Cook - Evertons version of James Milner just comes on a sub
14. Ryan Kent - Another player that has made it in Germany, Kent is like a English Marco Reus but hadn't quite broken in to the starting 11 in England
15. Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain - Still knocking about around the squad and still at Arsenal
16. Joshua Porter- Not the first choice striker but is on form at City and is abit like Sturridge
17. Jordan Ibe - The Liverpool midfielder became a journeyman moving for big money Man City, Juventus, PSG but not resides at Inter Milan
18. Ryan Webster - the new Vardy as he is raising Bournemouth up the table by hitting the net
