England starting 11

[Munro Munro]

Based on Nunos system here is my England team

Pickford
Dier
Mcguire Stones
Walker Young
Henderson Loftus Cheek
Sterling Rashford
Kane

I would have Linguard in for Loftus Cheek, Ali for Rashford if we need to change depending on the game, and certainly Vardy at some point

 

[Loojay]

Alli over Rashford, Jones over Stones, but otherwise agree.

I also think dropping Sterling for Vardy and playing 3 4 1 2 would work as well

Think Ali is a bit of a luxury just at the moment but would certainly bring him on for some creativity and not sure about Jones everything he does seems to be last ditch I thought Stones is Englands Boly with Mcguire doing the same thing on the other side

 

[Dan G WWFC]

I'd go 541 with a narrow diamond midfield.

----------Pickford
--Walker Stones Maguire
Trippier---- Henderson----Rose
----Dele Ali-----Lingard
---------Sterling
-----------Kane

Jones has no brain at all. He’s a liability. Total cart horse.

I can't believe he's even in the squad a pure donkey imo

like it

 

[Tring Wolf]

Similar to DanG in formation.

Butland
Walker, Dier, Stones
Trippier, Henderson, Rose
Alli, Loftus-Cheek
Sterling
Kane

 

[Bionic Wolf]

I'd go with 3-4-3

Pickford
Walker Stones Cahill
Trippier Henderson Alli Young
Sterling Kane Vardy

It's very attacking with Alli in central midfield but we really have a paucity of decent midfielders so I reckon you play your best players and go for it.

 

[Southbank Ebanks]

Pickford
Walker Maguire Stones
Trippier Henderson Loftus-Cheek Delph
Sterling Dele
Kane​

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Henderson .

For **** sake

 

[maws]

We ain’t gonna keep many clean sheets so let’s attack

 

[Skrilla]

Pickford
Cahill Stones Maguire
Walker Dier Henderson Rose
Alli
Sterling Kane​

I'd give Alli a bit of a free role to drag defenders around and make runs in behind to create space for Sterling and Kane. For me it's actually not a bad side at all, except for the lack of creativity in midfield. I just don't see Dier or Henderson doing anything other than recycling possession although their discipline would allow Rose and Walker to bomb forward with cover.

As long as Stones doesn't find a way to monumentally **** up I actually think we have a decent chance of getting to the Quarter Finals. I think we'll then face somebody like Brazil and the difference in quality will be too much. If that trio of Sterling (18 goals, 11 assists), Alli (9 goals, 10 assists) and Kane (30 goals, 2 assists) find a way to click then I think we'll fare much better than most expect us to.
