Who will make the England Euro 2024 squad? 23 26 man squad

[slightly different to the Southgate thread]

Some players in the running (long-list);

GKs: Pickford / Ramsdale / Pope / Johnstone / Trafford / Butland

DFs: Stones / Walker / Gomez / James / Shaw / Dunk / Alexander-Arnold / Branthwaite / Chilwell / Konsa / Colwill / Maguire / Trippier / Guehi / White / Dier / Tomori

MFs(D): Bellingham / Rice / Henderson / Gallagher / Mainoo / Ward-Prowse / R Lewis / Elliot
MFs(A): Foden / Grealish / Saka / Maddison / Bowen / Gordon / Palmer / Mount / Madueke

FWs: Kane / Toney / Watkins / Rashford / Solanke / Sterling / Eze / Olise

My picks in bold.
3 keepers, nobody risks 2 these days, right?
9 defenders including Alexander-Arnold as potential midfielder, Joe Gomez can play pretty much any position on the back line
11 mids, Palmer and Saka can play very high as auxiliary forwards
3 strikers (Solanke or Toney)

4-5-1


Maguire plays better for England, as it's slower football, but he's still shit. However centre-half is a bit barren especially as White has rejected call-up.

Not really arsed who goes but hope that we outperform under the waistcoat so he gets the rags job. Losing a penalty shootout to the Germans in the semi-final with Bellingham missing the crucial penalty will do.
 
Olise and Eze have made a late surge for inclusion, and i think Bowen, Henderson, Lewis and Solanke will be more hopeful with the expanded squad size.
 
The player at Palace who has made the most impressive late surge is Wharton.

Assume Olise still wants to play for France..

Wharton should be in there ahead of Mainoo, but won't be. We desperately need someone with that ability in the side. We have a back 4 that's not going to be particularly strong and, in Rice, someone who is incapable of running the game - so much so he has been relinquished of that role at Arsenal to be more box to box. If he plays the box to box role for England he needs someone alongside him to dictate things and Wharton's the best option, but will be seen as too raw and miss out.
