England (Friday)
Scott Parker - ***** - Currently anchoring the midfield.
Kyle Walker - **** - Just broken into the starting XI and is looking good.
Croatia (Friday & Tuesday)
Vedran Corluka - *** - Backup for Walker and rest for Walker in Europe
Niko Krancjar - ** - Backup to the backup
Luka Modric - ***** - Critical to the team.
Russia (Friday & Tuesday)
Roman Pavlyuchenko - *** - Back up to a thin strike force
France (Friday & Tuesday)
Younes Kaboul - **** - Just broken into the starting XI and looking good. Absence will expose our depleted defence.
Holland (Friday & Tuesday)
Rafael Van Der Vaart - **** - Key player, whether starting or coming off bench. Only 4 star because there are options if he is injured.
Wales (Friday & Tuesday)
Gareth Bale - ***** - No back up for Bale and is starting to re-capture form
Cameroon (Friday & Tuesday)
Sebastien Bassong - ** - Backup to the a threadbare defence
Brazil (Friday & Tuesday)

Mexico (Tuesday)
Giovani Dos Santos - ** - Still not impressed
England U21 (Thursday)
Adam Smith - * - An injury to Adam could mean a first teamer has to "risk" a Europa game.
