Daniel Sturridge
Caps: 25
Rating: 7/10
Taking into account Daniel Sturridge’s form this term, he doesn’t come close to ranking amongst the nation’s top marksmen. The Liverpool forward has managed just two goals in 14 appearances this campaign and has been plagued by injury over the last few seasons.
It’s inaugurated a severe drop in confidence since and Sturridge has failed to recapture the form he demonstrated most notably in the 2013/14 season.
For his nation, Sturridge is inexperienced, with just 25 caps and eight goals, two of which have come in competitive competitions. The striker boasts great versatility when compared to his national counterparts, as he is able to play across the entire front line, meaning he’s a key player to have in the squad for big tournaments.
That said, his inability to stave off various hip, hamstring and other muscular injuries have meant he’s not had the game time to prove he can be a consistent performer and therefore he doesn’t rank particularly highly.
