Sweden v England: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Harry Maguire

What an incredible two years it has been in the career of this young man. He was at Euro 2016 in France as a supporter, nowhere near international selection. Now, two years on, he is a key man in this England team, and has had a brilliant tournament in Russia. There were worries that his form had dropped off a little towards the end of the last season, but there has been no sign of that.

He has slotted in well in the back three and has looked defensively solid, as well as showing an ability to calmly bring the ball out of defence and into midfield. He has been a threat from set-pieces as well, which England have exploited well in Russia. He is often the target for knockdowns and helped himself to his first international goal against Sweden. His performances have raised the question: which Harry is more important for England?
