Should have won fewer England caps XI

This was easier I suppose. For the most part (apart from in goal), it's not the one-cap wonders, it's those who really have been nothing special but kept on accruing appearances. Look up how many caps each of these got/have got and it's genuinely baffling. Nothing particularly against some of them, just some of them got more caps than Geoff Hurst, Glenn Hoddle etc.  James Milner appears on the bench, of course.
