Roy Hodgson has named the 23 players that will make up his England Euro 2016 squad, with a number of key introductions and omissions making it an inevitably controversial line-up for the upcoming tournament.
With so much debate surrounding who among the squad should/should not have been invited to represent their country in France, fingers are being pointed at these players’ performances in the previous football season, in order to validate the plethora of complaints that are being flung in Hodgson’s direction.
But how do their stats stack up against one another? Here’s our comprehensive look at each of their performances throughout the previous year of club football:
