Harry Maguire

The $97 million Manchester United defender is the key player in Gareth Southgate’s defence. The centre-back holds the defence together and his pairing with John Stones is a wall for any good attack to cross. Maguire can occasionally score goals and is very dangerous while corners kicks or set-pieces. He is an expert with his head.  

Trent Alexander-Arnold

The young right-back has shown lots of character since last season. His heroics against Barcelona in the Champions League second leg last season is still fresh in everyone’s mind. His incredible pace is unmatchable and provides lots of assists to the forwards. He is lethal while taking free-kicks and has a great eye to find his players during the attack.
