(Birmingham City)

Large-headed, bendy-limbed man who was once widely considered England's bright new hope between the sticks. Until Man City dropped him for Shay Given...

2010 CHANCES: 40% A great season for loan club Birmingam City will definitely put him in the reckoning, especially with most goalie spots up for grabs...

(Manchester City)

Very impressive at U-21 level and pushing Man City's multi-million new recruits for a regular starting berth. Great name, too.

2010 CHANCES: 55% Okay, so he's traditionally a centre-back, but he's also a pretty decent right-back, and with Glen Johnson's occasional harebrained gallops, that's a problem position for England. Versatility and a good season could actually see Onuuuuuha stroll into the squad next summer.

(Bolton Wanderers)

Snuck into a couple of England squads through injuries to Rio and Terry. Offers as much threat up front as Bolton's current batch of strikers.

2010 CHANCES: 50% Probably millimetres ahead of Shawcross, Onouha, Micah Richards and Michael Turner as the next central defender likely to bash down Capello's iron-plated door.

(Stoke City)

Fearless centre back who nods in loads of goals, courtesy of Rory Delap's rocket launched throw-ins. Under the wrong light, he does look a bit like a pig, though. Not that that's a bad thing...

2010 CHANCES: 45% Could push Lescott and is a potentical cap-in-waiting...

(Arsenal)

The new Ashley Cole apparently...

2010 CHANCES: 30% There's definitely a vacancy for a reserve left-back in the England squad, provided he can muster enough Premiership appearances and continue to impress...

(Arsenal)

Leg-knotting attack-minded midfield prodigy, who had fans creaming themselves following recent U-21 bow.

2010 CHANCES: 25% Could be 2010's Walcott (i.e. pointless unused sub), but needs to establish himself at L'Arsenal first, and at just 17, this WC probably comes too early...

(Sunderland)

Tenacious big-money coup for Sunderland. Shaved bonce makes him look really hard which will definitely put the sh*ts up flair-y South Americans.

2010 CHANCES: 20% Could be a long-term replacement for Gareth Barry in the defensive midfield role. But not yet. Oh no.

(West Ham)

All-round, teeth-gnashing midfield dynamo who likes to get stuck in, and has a few tricks up his sleeves.

2010 CHANCES: 15% Ex-U21 skipper and highly rated by fellow pros, but most West Ham fans will stress he's a 'good player' but no more...

(Everton)

Silky-skilled midfield upstart, and Everton's golden-est wonderboy since Rooney...

2010 CHANCES: 10% He's only just out of nappies.

(Aston Villa)

Pacey, young frontman who's oozed his way into a couple of previous squads, before forgetting how to score.

2010 CHANCES: 20% Needs to score regularly and improve his composure in front of goal.

(Sunderland)

Prolific Premiership goal-banger, despite Spurs fans (and Redknapp) claiming he's a bit of a donkey. More suited to the long ball game and pegging it behind defences.

2010 CHANCES: 60% - England squad is currently short on goalscorers, and he's enjoyed a rosy start at Sunderland. Must fancy his chances.
