433 fits in more of our best players. I personally think TAA quality wise is our best RB, but would happily have James, Trippier, Walker or AWB instead based on form.

So, despite being left out of Southgate's latest squad, there were plenty of calls for Alexander-Arnold to start at right-back amid his slump in form.
A centre-back pairing of Harry Maguire and John Stones appeared to be the most popular among our readers with a couple of shouts for Tyrone Mings.

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice were the preferred central midfielders ahead of Jordan Henderson.
Jack Grealish and Phil Foden were also popular choices even though they have a combined eight international caps. But, of course, the two attack-minded stars are enjoying brilliant seasons for Aston Villa and Manchester City, respectively.
England supporters were also split between Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford as Harry Kane, unsurprisingly, featured in almost every team.


After this month's World Cup qualifiers, The Three Lions have two warm-up games against Austria and Romania scheduled before the showpiece tournament.
