#2 Raheem Sterling
After an excellent Premier League title-winning season with Manchester City, Raheem Sterling will shoulder the weight of expectations at the World Cup, and rightly so. Easily one of the most experienced players in the squad, Sterling has been a household name for over 6 years now, first plying his trade for Liverpool and then Manchester City.

This past season, under Pep Guardiola, Sterling truly blossomed as he hit a career-high of 23 goals across all competitions - more than twice the number of goals he has scored in any other season of his career.
He also racked up a total of 12 assists to complement his 23 goals, thereby waltzing into England's World Cup squad. Pacy and creative with the ball, if Sterling can replicate his club-level form for The Three Lions, he really could go on to light up the tournament for himself and for England.
