Who would thought Cole Palmer would improve so quick 2 years ago or Raheem Sterling would go so backwards? Pointless guessing for 2026 now.

[ffbear]

Anthony Gordon not getting a mention when we have Carsley as interim manager and theyre talking about eddie howe taking over is wild. He unlike Foden or Saka is actually a left winger, provides pace and worked great with palmer under carsley for the under 21s

[cgopie]

If you look at the team you've selected, Guehi, Branthwaite, Palmer & Mainoo were all players we had barely heard of, if at all this time 2 years ago. There's a big chance that a player or 2 that we currently don't know exists yet will be starting in 2026.

So the coming home delusion is already set in motion? 😂 didn’t place a Stake bet on England to win last time, and i certainly won’t do it the next time either 🤷‍♀️ How many times do England need to be humbled at major tournaments before their fans become humble 🤔

[YuToobism]

I was hoping to see more future predictions in this team.

Thinking of how much players like Gordon, Wharton, Elliot, Branthwaite, Madueke and Jones are going to progress in the next few years.

Instead they basically used generic players from the Euros who most under performed.

If we are talking about the Pep Style. Surely having both Trent and Stones on the same side of defence is not so good. Especially if Stones plays his whole step forward and play the CDM role.

[ulfanfinneriksen]

Palmer and Foden are 10's. Front three is Gordon, Watkins and Saka.

[Siuuuu]

Kane could play for Real Madrid and still not win a trophy

[g..h..o..s..t]

Tell us you haven't ran out of ideas without telling us you haven't ran out of ideas...

[paulashton]

We got Pep being the England manger before GTA 6

[ogviewer]

When has Saka played as a LW for Arsenal? What makes u think hes a good option at LW?

[zTempyy]

Honestly the end board with all 11 players is absolutely atrocious.

[F.]

Manager: Howe

GK: Pickford
RB : Trent
RCB : Stones
LCB : Branthwaite
LB : Hall
DM : Wharton
LCM : Rice
RCM : Bellingham
RW : Saka
LW : Gordon
ST : Kane

[jakehowie]

Anthony Gordon the left since Rashford, Sancho or Saka aren’t playing

[maozedonger]

so the coming home delusion already kickin in this early smh

[isaacnewton]

Spence is dying on this hill that Pep will be the England manager in 2026 😂

[Galjamakarovaksb-wxed]

This soundtrack is fire, great choice!

[weeztalks]

Saka disrespect is insane. Playing him out of position to fit in foden lmao. Foden does not fit in England. Gordon or Grealish should play LW

[tuhin]

Guardiola has never done it with a small team with limited budget or even a big team with limited budget

He always had star players on huge salaries and signed big stars

He isnt a national team type coach right now but he can be a very good one.

[highestmadeit]

Pickford

Trent Stones Guehi Branthwaite



Rice Bellingham


Foden

Saka Gordon


Palmer
