How did England players rate during the World Cup?

Ezri Konsa earned a solid rating of 7, demonstrating his international quality throughout the World Cup. The Aston Villa defender was a consistent starter, even filling in at right-back during the quarter-final win over Norway and scoring in the third-place play-off.

John Stones also received a 7, with his tournament marked by initial fitness concerns that saw him drop out after the first game. He regrouped to start crucial matches, but was caught out for the decisive goal in the semi-final defeat to Argentina.

Marc Guehi was a standout, earning an 8 for his "calmness and quality" in the England defense. He proved his worth against top opposition, including Erling Haaland, and performed well until England's exit.

Trevoh Chalobah, a late call-up, received a 5 after limited game time, only appearing in the closing stages of the win against France. Jarell Quansah, a surprise pick, showed flashes of why he was included, performing well at full-back before a red card and injury. He was rated 6 and is seen as having a bright future.

Dan Burn, rated 6.5, provided aerial presence, a tactic used perhaps too early against Argentina. Nico O'Reilly, also 6.5, grew into the tournament after a nervy start, showing good ball-playing ability but needing defensive improvement. Reece James, rated 6.5, overcame a hamstring injury to feature in later stages, proving his quality. Djed Spence, another 6.5, was a breakout player, valuable for his versatility and defensive strength, delivering strong performances in the quarter-finals.
