Well, well, well . . . .Gareth got it right once again and six suggesters got his team spot on althought only [MENTION=15046]peterward[/MENTION] got the formation. Well done to [MENTION=635]Gary Nelsons Left Foot[/MENTION], [MENTION=19800]lawros left foot[/MENTION], [MENTION=5194]NEASTGULL[/MENTION] [MENTION=36334]JonnyCLately[/MENTION], [MENTION=4381]elwheelio[/MENTION].

Sadly for this competition, folk might well have picked up that the team is being leaked each match-day morning to folk such as David Ornstein. It's then all over social media. SO - this competition will now close on Tuesday night at 11pm prior to the anticipated 'spilling of the beans' on Wednesday morning.

Formation Watch

The BBC's match report notes England's formation as a 4-2-3-1 which makes sense. Mount was very central with Sterling and Sancho often out wide. Kane seemed to stay in the No.9 position more than he has done in past games and was suitably rewarded.

Well done to @mjking and [MENTION=15046]peterward[/MENTION] who lead this competition with one (or two :blush:) matches to play.

How to play:

As per usual, you just need to select Southgate's starting 11 alongside his starting formation as interpreted by the BBC website match report.

1 point - Correctly selected player
3 points - Correctly selected formation according to the BBC match report.
11 points - Bonus if you correctly select the whole team and formation.

25 points is your top score, just like in F1.

Competition closes just before the official team release (1.5hr before K.O. i think . . . so 15:30 on Tuesday 29th June).

It's easy!


So . . . . . .

Will Southgate change the team again, it's very rare that he doesn't?

Will Henderson return to the starting formation after his great headed goal?

I think we could get more from right back, will Trippier or James be given a go?

Grealish has looked brilliant when he has played, surely he can't be benched again?

Sancho did a lot of good things but with Foden eyeing his place, did he do enough?


What do YOU think he'll do?

Have you got what it takes to Suggest Southgate's Selections?

It's over to you!

*****THIS COMPETITION WILL CONTINUE WHILST ENGLAND REMAIN IN THE TOURNAMENT*******

I'm tempted to say he'll bring Hendo in for one of Rice or (more likely) Phillips, but I'd say that'll be a substitution rather than a change to the starting XI.

He may opt for a back 3 to counter the dangerous Danish wingbacks too, but I'd say he'll stick with what worked so well against Ukraine.

I don't think Southgate will change a winning team and formula unless there are injuries (and they all trained today) so I am going with:
Pickford
Walker - Stones - Maguire - Shaw
Phillips - Rice
Sancho - Mount - Sterling
Kane
4-2-3-1
