The first thing that every manager does - after instructing their assistant to take care of friendlies - is look through their squad and identify the core.

That's why today's quiz shouldn't be too hard. We've listed every England manager since 2000 and found their top five most played players. Some of these names should be synonymous with their boss...

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
