    What's the story with Ellis Simms at Everton? 20 goals in the u18 league already this season! Has he played for England?

    He's a second-year and he's massive, a lot of his goals are men against boys stuff, but he came through at Man City and definitely has a lot of good striker skill-set things about him.

    Have not seen anything of Ben Elliott in these squads in recent times. Does anyone know what happened to him?

    I'd agree with this. Reminds me a lot of Hallam Hope who was similarly prolific at youth level but lost his edge when going up against players equally as strong.

    This side obviously gets rotated a lot but it seems to be a very talented group. Can anybody speculate what the best XI is?

    Forgive my ignorance but just out of interest, who is Christopher Scott? Is he a dual qualified player with English/British/American roots?

    Loosely, my preference would be Moulden, Livramento, Harwood-Bellis, Mengi, Roberts, Hodge, Musah, Sarmiento, Elliott, Rogers, Greenwood.

    But that assumes Hodge and Sarmiento see their futures with England. It also says something about the calibre of talent that you could easily put Gelhardt, Knight, Carvalho, Mighten or Wood-Gordon in without too much of a problem.

    Not a Madueke fan or just that his competitors are that much better?

    I like him, I just like Musah more for that role really. Really like what Hodge can do at the base of a midfield three and think Sarmiento has game-changing abilities as a ten, so it's mostly about a preference for the 8, and Musah gets my nod.

    I wanted to ask the same question. He looked superb when I saw him with england youth, in a age group that doesn't seem to have that many playmakers.

    You think Roberts is a better left back than Bondswell?

    Having seen quite a bit of Bondswell , I think he has one of the fastest accelerations I have seen with out and without the ball. Last season for our 18s I think he won about 3 penalties because of it.

    Concerns. Size & bravery for competing aerially. He often played MF too as club were keeping options open.

    Seems like it is going well at Leipzig.

    From previous games at other age groups, I recall the Czech FA website is often good for their coverage. Will have a look in a bit.

    I wonder if anyone has some clarity on young okoflex s eligibility for England. The home nations agreement quoted above should not be relevent I would have thought as we are not one of the home nations (n.i , england, scotland , wales). He was born in Dubllin and played in Dublin with st kevins until age 11 when he moved to UK. Does living in a country for 5 years make you eligible even if you are under 18? Clearly he is eligible as England would not have wasted time playing him otherwise but it is interesting.

    5 years of full time education prior to the age of 18 would make him eligible.

    Yeah, the Home Nations Agreement can still govern his eligibility for England (a Home Nation, obvs) if he's been registered as a British citizen, which is perfectly possible. Then the HNA's requirement for five years of education kicks in, although I have a vague recollection that FIFA might previously have granted kids licences to play for a country's youth teams before they've fulfilled a residency requirement.

    This is all assuming that he doesn't have an English-born parent or grandparent, of course. I don't know that he does, but I sort of doubt that the likes of Stephen Finn have had a chance to inspect his family tree very closely, so who knows.
