We reckon the biggest talking point could be who you’ll pick up front, so we’re kicking off the issue by giving our verdict on the striker options! Check these net-busters out... HARRY KANE TOTTENHAM  If Kane was fit there’d be no England’s main striker, but the Tottenham star has been injured for all of 2020! His record of 32 goals in just 45 caps means he's an absolute must when he's fit! MATCH Verdict  STARTING! DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN EVERTON This time last year Calvert-Lewin wasn’t even on England’s radar but, after banging in to of Premier League goals, he shot…

EPIC VISION Before you even start thinking about what Trent does with his feet, it’s important to talk about his vision! By getting his head up when he receives the ball, he’s able to spot attackers’ runs – and then he can rely on his boots to do the rest! TOP TACKLING Trent’s made over 40 Prem tackles for Liverpool this season, and this skill has a lot to do with vision and anticipation! By practising as many one-on-one drills as possible, you’ll start to second guess attackers – and know the perfect moment to put your foot in, or when to stand up and hold! SICK STAMINA Being a modern-day full-back requires lung-busting energy – you need to be able to steam forward to support attacks, then track back…

JAMIE VARDY LEICESTER He’s a proper lethal goalscorer, but Vards says he’ll only play for England in a terrible injury crisis! Should you make the call MASON GREENWOOD MAN. UNITED Greenwood has mega potential and is sure to be an England regular in the future, but we don’t think he’s ready just yet! EDDIE NKETIAH ARSENAL Nketiah is proving why Arsenal were right to end his loan spell at Leeds after scoring goals for The Gunners since his return! RHIAN BREWSTER SWANSEA Brewster’s been prolific at England youth level and has scored while on loan at Swansea, but this would be a big step up!…

HOW DID YOU START SUPPORTING MAN. UNITED? MAX & HARVEY SAY: “We started following United because our dad’s from Manchester and that’s his team. Our first memory is watching them beat Arsenal 8-2 – it was crazy!” WHO DID YOU HAVE ON THE BACK OF YOUR SHIRT? MAX & HARVEY SAY: “We had our own names, but the first footballer was Rashford because he gave us one of the shirts he played in!” WHAT UNITED MOMENT WOULD YOU LIKE TO RE-LIVE AGAIN?

1 JUDE BELLINGHAM Birmingham to Man. United £30 million Dortmund made the first move to sign the wonderkid a few weeks ago, but all they did was spark a mad scramble for his signature! Bayern Munich and Chelsea are interested, but Man. United are leading the race after inviting him to their training ground. The deal could be wrapped up pretty soon! 2 SADIO MANE Liverpool to Real Madrid £140 million Transfer gossips in Spain reckon Real have made Mane their No.1 summer target! The Senegal winger is set to miss a chunk of next season due to the Africa Cup of Nations, so The Reds could be tempted to sell – especially if they can sign a top-class replacement like Jadon Sancho or Kylian Mbappe! 3 EBERECHI…

Last week we showed you the first part of Nike’s throwback pack, and the Mercurial Vapors are the next in line for a retro paint job! Released in 2009, the Mercurial Vapor Superfly was the lightest and fastest Merc of all time, and were worn by Cristiano Ronaldo in that year’s Champions League final. They’ve been re-released in that same original colourway, but with all the latest Mercurial technology! FREAKY WOLVES FONT! We think the new font on Wolves’ Europa League numbers looks pretty cool, but from a distance the numbers are a bit confusing – No.9 looks like No.8! BARÇA KIT LEAK?

32 Trent played 32 times for The Three Lions’ youth teams, and scored seven goals in ten games for the Under-19s! 4 He made his competitive England debut at the 2018 World Cup v Belgium, becoming just the fourth teen to start a World Cup match for the nation! 1 His first England goal came in November 2018 – at 20 years old, he became the youngest Liverpool player since 1999 to score for the country! 19 He was voted the 19th best player in the world in the 2019 Ballon d’Or vote – and the planet’s finest full-back! 100+ He became the fourth-youngest player to make 100 appearances for The Reds earlier this season! 12 In 2018-19, he got a Prem record 12 assists for a defender – but…

JANINE BECKIE HER STORY… ➔ Making a name for yourself at university is a massive way to get scouted in the States – and that’s exactly what Beckie did! She became the all-time leading goalscorer for her university’s women team, Texas Tech Red Raiders, with 57 net-busters! ➔ After spells at Houston Dash and Sky Blue FC in America, she moved to Man. City in 2018 – and scored the winning penalty in the 2019 Continental Cup final v Arsenal! ➔She was born and grew up in America, but her parents were Canadian – and she chose to represent them instead! She actually holds the record for scoring the quickest goal in Olympics history – she busted net after 20 seconds v Australia in 2016! HER STYLE… ➔ She was…

PHIL FODEN MAN. CITY We’re sure Southgate saw Foden’s sick performance in the Carabao Cup final but, just to show how good he was, the wonderkid bagged this MOTM card too! Only two England RWs have better FUT cards, and he’d add real flair to The Three Lions’ squad! JAMES CHESTER STOKE Chester hasn’t played for Wales since 2018, but he’s still one of their best centre-backs on FIFA 20! Only Paul Dummett has a higher rating, and he’s retired from international duty, so the on-loan Stoke CB should be in Giggs’ plans according to FIFA! CHRISTIAN DOIDGE HIBERNIAN Doidge doesn’t even have a cap yet, but he’s the only Wales player with an IF card this season! He was in TOTW 9 after bagging a hat-trick for Hibs, and…
