Captain and vice-captain options:

Nikita Parris: Coming off from a stellar season with Manchester City, the 25-year-old is one of the most in-form players heading into this world cup. She scored an incredible 19 goals for the Cityzens in the domestic league, which earned her a blockbuster move to the reigning European Champions Lyon.

Kim Little – If there is any female player who deserved the biggest upstage at least once in her career, then that player has to be Scotland’s Kim Little.

Hailed as one of the best for over the last decade, voted MVP both in England and USA, Little is known for scoring goals at the crucial stage. She has over 130 caps and more than 50 goals for her country.

Fran Kirby: Played a key role in England’s run to France. She has an insane pace, is creative and incisive in the final 3rd. She scored 2 goals and set up five more for his teammates during the qualifying campaigns.

X-Factors:

Erin Cuthbert – The Chelsea youngster has the habit of popping up with game-changing moments. She scored in the Champions League games against both eventual champions Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain during 2018/19. She is a star in the making.

Georgia Stanway – She will head to France high on confidence having scored 11 goals and setting up 3 more for Manchester City in FA Women’s Super League.

She could be the X-factor for England in this tournament.
