Right now, Kyle Walker is the best Right Back in English football. His pace going forward will give the Three Lions another option in attack, and his defensive work is consistently solid.

Though typically used as a right back for England, Man City, and Tottenham before them, Walker has recently been deployed as part of a back three system under Gareth Southgate, conceding just one goal over two games against the Netherlands and Italy, and earning himself the Man of the Match award against the former.

This kind of positional versatility is a priceless asset in a World Cup tournament where player selection is limited, meaning Walker's name will be one of the first on Southgate's list, and whether the manager goes with the traditional four at the back, or the three he has experimented with, you can bet Walker will be in the first 11.
