This is based on current form more than anything.. Ox & Theo have been useless, Raheem hasn't been much better, Sturridge and Welbeck will be lucky to even make the squad and RIP Wilshere wherever he may be.

Same as Drew's but with Sterling in for Rooney. Maybe Cresswell for Bertrand as well. If Sturridge is fit then he must start too.

I don't even trust Roy to start Vardy up top really, it would be a huge missed opportunity if he doesn't.

How far off is Jack Wilshire?

It would be nice if he can get some games under his belt, he's by far our best centre midfielder.

Was meant to be Jan, then Feb, then March so god knows when he'll be back.. its just setback after setback with him. But i agree Shag, Englands best midfielder by a mile on his day.

I assume Shaw will be nowhere near a return come summer either.

I honestly think that we need to start experimenting with players that are on good form but haven't been given the break yet, I mean as you've already said Baines hasn't been very good this season so he shouldn't be playing in a big continental event such as the Euros imo.

We cant start experimenting during a major championship.

And we certainly don't want our captain, talisman and all time record goal scorer sat on the bench.

Rooney's getting older now though, and he has been weaker than Vardy and Kane all season, I think it's only fair to reward them for having a better season, and if they're not cutting it we could always put Rooney back in the side, it's not like I've took him out of the squad altogether.

Some players only fit certain formations and tactics.. The Leicester players you've mentioned wouldn't cope on the big stage.

How do you know unless England tested them out? And they certainly should be picked over Liverpool players who are struggling to even break the top 10 of the Premier League.

They just about survived last season under different tactics/different manager. Hodgson is never going to play the same style as Leicester currently do. Albrighton and Simpson couldn't cut it at their previous clubs. We've got plenty of better young and proven players that should always be ahead of them & players who have already gelled into the England side.

I think we're lacking a good defensive midfielder, somebody to do a job like Mascherano did for Argentina at the World cup.

We have some good attacking options, plenty of pace and also that bit of x factor in Rooney, Barkley and Alli. But I worry about us defensively.

Dier is probably our best bet as a defensive midfielder.. try and avoid Spurs as much as possible but i'm sure he's been really consistent there this season.

Rooney is starting, whether you like it or not. At least his form is slightly acceptable at the moment though.

Anyone think Aaron Lennon can get back in the squad?

The lad's playing really well at present.

The wings are looking pretty poor at the moment. Raheem is too hit and miss & the Ox and Theo have been useless all season.. got a feeling Welbeck/Vardy/Sturridge will just be used out wide instead. Lennon would be a good enough squad player on recent form though
