England/France

The England team is in and at least there's a bit of time for research, each player's Picklive (club) page is linked below:

Foster
Jagielka
Ferdinand
Lescott
Gibbs
Barry
Milner
Henderson
Gerrard
Walcott
Carroll

England's last three games are here: Montenegro, Switzerland and Bulgaria

It's interesting to note that in those three games Gerrard plus the back four took 12 of the 15 'top 5' spots.

My recommendation here is start with the back four plus Gerrard and then try and make a case Barry, Milner and Henderson respectively. And this is where the substitutions come in. Who will play the most minutes?

France on the other hand have three well known and stand out Picklive players; Sagna, Nasri and Malouda. It's difficult to look past these three without access to more Picklive stats or a deeper knowledge of the France team.

So, tips: Pick as much of the England back four as you can, pick Gerrard if you think he'll make it past 60 minutes and 1 or 2 of the French trio named above. That is unless you have any hunches re: substitutions or an in-depth view of French football!

Good luck!
