Ollie Watkins
Striker
Ollie Watkins has been one of England’s top strikers for many years, but has only recently risen to new heights of fame and success. This season he is currently tied for the most goal involvements with 29, comprising of 19 goals and 10 assists. He is leading the line for his team, Aston Villa, which is performing above expectations and is currently in a close race for Champions League qualification. He is a serial goal scorer, and across the Premier League and Championship he has not failed to score more than 10 goals a single time. He is a very well rounded striker, sporting a respectable pace, clinical finishing, solid physicality, and efficient dribbling. We expect that Watkins will not start over Harry Kane, but there is a good chance he will be a substitute to close out games England is comfortably winning. He may also prove to be a vital player in England’s tournament run, subbing on to provide a creative spark if the offense is stagnating.
