I would also take Harry Maguire instead of Trippier or Alenander-Arnold, we don't need 3 RBs. One the other side of defence your squad only has one LB, Sessignon, and he attacks more than defends!! I would bring in Bertrand as well, probably instead of one of the RBs. Abraham has done no where near enough this season to be considered imo, you will probably crucify me for this but I would take Welbeck instead, his England goal scoring record is excellent and he would be a capable back-up to Kane and Vardy/Rashford.
I like Welbeck, like his ball-pinching ability up front and his speed off the mark, but he isn't going to get a game in an attack based on Kane (who I don't like that much!)
I was deliberately not selecting full backs because I'd be playing three at the back. All those could go forward in a five-man midfield. An' I'm not a believer in confining players to left or right. I'd prefer a right-footed left back and a left-footed right back anyway. A right-footed left-winger will also get you far more goals than a left-footed one imo.
Had he been fit I'd have been selecting Antonio from West Ham too. I like players who can play a variety of positions, so Sessegnon fits my bill. I don't think we can win this World Cup, but if we could reach the Quarters or better our younger players would have real tournament experience. Abraham is there cos he's fit, needs games and would be excited enough by the unexpected opportunity we'd see what he can really do - otherwise Cheslsea will ruin him with random loans.
Oh yeah, Grealish - cocky little sod but he's potentially magic. Sometimes players just happen, they become good all on their own. Sometimes you have to make them happen. Grealish comes out way in front if you stick him in the B stream, stick im in the A stream and see what happens, make a real star, or let him be a Championship show pony.
