Great Britain. The birthplace of the football game. It's only natural that the majority of football professionals are based on the islands of Albion. There are strict regulations that can come and play as a professional in the UK, and that leaves the room for Britain-based players to develop and grow.
There are many fantastic talents from the UK, so here's the list of top 15 British players that are amazing in FM2020:
15. Matt Doherty
- Position: D/WB(R)
- Age: 27 years old
- Nationality: Republic of Ireland
- Club: Wolves
- Value: 31,8 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- Naturally fit player
- Great stamina
- Very balanced stats
Doherty put some very good appearances for Bohemians back in Ireland and caught attention from England’s Premiership. Wolves were the most interested side and in 2010 joined them. His rise in quality and consistency since then has been remarkable.
The wing-back became a key man at Molineux, his stability on the right side making the team effort look much better. Wolves enjoyed some very good football recently, and much of that is Doherty. Not as many caps as to be expected but when you have one skipper Seamus Coleman for a competition on the starting spot, it really isn’t a miracle.

14. Chris Smalling
- Position: D(C)
- Age: 29 years old
- Nationality: England
- Club: Roma
- Value: 39 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2022.
- Very determined
- Fantastic physical attributes
- Consistent performer
Smalling simply came to life in Roma. This very quality CB was always “not quite there” in Manchester. His performances on a loan spell in Serie A reminded of those during the Van Gaal era back in Manchester, when Chris had a season of his lifetime.
Roma already decided to make his contract permanent, but Manchester and Smalling have the last word in this. He’s always had been consistent for national side and participated in almost every campaign. He is not your attacking center back, but “no-nonsense center back” certainly.

13. Tammy Abraham
- Position: ST(C)
- Age: 21 years old
- Nationality: England
- Club: Chelsea
- Value: 43,3 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2022.
- High finishing stat
- His mental attributes are amazingly rounded
- Great potential
This kid is truly amazing. Thanks to Lampard’s policy of giving chance to young talents Abraham got his minutes maybe earlier and somewhat easier than expected. Nevertheless he used them well.
Fantastic finishing and physical ability made him one of the top 10 goal scorers in Premiership so far this season, and a constant threat to the opposition. Vera nicely rounded stats, and high potential ability makes Abraham a fantastic acquisition in FM20.

12. Kieran Trippier
- Position: D/WB(R)
- Age: 28 years old
- Nationality: England
- Club: Atletico Madrid
- Value: 17,9 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- Fantastic work rate
- Very high stamina
- Naturally fit player
Kieran made a move of a lifetime when accepted Atletico’s offer. He raised some eyebrows then, but it turned out great for him. He had a bad season in Tottenham and was mentally and physically empty. But Diego Simeone injected him with a new life.
He is well accounted for Atletico's best defensive record in La Liga, and not only in the back, but he has also been fantastic offensively, pouring crosses from the right side of the pitch. Consistent and quality performances bought him a returning ticket to England's national side.

11. Aaron Ramsey

- Nationality: Wales
- Club: Juventus
- Value: 39,7 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- Very determined

- Experienced
One more player who kick-started his career by changing the environment. His move to Juve refreshed him, and he became a mature and consistent player.Fantastic vision and creativity will make him your attacking playmaker no matter where on the pitch you decide to play him. His long shots are also useful, and having Ramsey in your team will no doubt upgrade the quality of the team’s performances.

10. Kieran Tierney
- Position: D (LC), WB (L)
- Age: 22 years old
- Nationality: Scotland
- Club: Arsenal
- Value: 30,8 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2024.
- Very fast
- Excellent mental stats
- Will develop in a star player
Kieran Tierney came through the ranks at Celtic, quickly breaking into the first team in 2015 at the age of 18. He soon made his international debut as well. In August 2019 he made a move to Arsenal, though his first season there has been blighted by injury.
He is not afraid to get stuck in at either end of the pitch. He has 16 acceleration and 15 pace to go along with 15 tackling, 15 crossing, and 15 work rate. Tierney is an excellent player already in FM20 but will only get better under the right coaching if you can convince him to leave his new club.

9. Gareth Bale
- Position: M (L), AM (RLC), ST (C)

- Nationality: Wales
- Club: Real Madrid
- Value: 87,8 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2022.
- Excellent attacking stats
- Very fast
- Easily one of the best players in any team
Bale is a blast from the wing. Maybe his form hasn’t been that good recently, but that can’t lessen the fact that he is one of the best British players in past years. Continuously fantastic for his national side, Bale has been gathering appearances and goals in Madrid also.
His attacking stats are a joy to behold, and his long shots will sweat any opponent. If acquired he’ll make a terrific wingman with fury runs and blasting crosses. Worth the money.

8. Jordan Henderson
- Position: DM, M (C)
- Age: 29 years old
- Nationality: England
- Club: Liverpool
- Value: 58,9 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- True leader
- Very high work rate, leadership and teamwork
- Consistent perfomer
It takes the pure class to be Liverpool’s skipper. Henderson maybe is not among the most attractive players to watch, but he is a fantastic performer. Truly fantastic force both in Liverpool and the national side, Jordan has been maintaining his excellent form for quite some time.
Klopp really brought out the best from him, and Henderson paid him back heavily. His consistent form kept Liverpool on the top of Premiership and England on the safe side of the road to EURO. One of the rare players who will leave his last atom of strength on the pitch.

- Position: AM (L) / ST (C)

- Nationality: England
- Club: Manchester United
- Value: 50,3 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- High potential
- Very brave and determined
- Fantastic dribbler
Coming out of the youth academy to become a key squad player at Manchester United and regular in the national squad with just 21, Marcus Rashford is a fairy tale becoming true. He earned everything with his fantastic performances at the highest level.
Very attractive player, Marcus is an excellent dribbler. But so much more, also. His finishing is from far more experienced scorer, and his movement frustrates the opponent’s defenses. His speed is beyond par, making tight marking almost impossible. When you add tremendous potential ability, it is clear that Rushford is a force yet to come.

- Age: 19 years old

- Value: 30 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2022.
- High dribbling and flare stats this early in age will develop to amazing winger
- Physical attributes are just stunning
- Already made to the national side
In FM2020 Jadon Sancho is one of the best young wingers. Among the English wingers he has the highest potential ability and possesses some of the best dribbling attributes in the game. His performances in Dortmund earned him very high interest from Man Utd.
Whatever option he chose, it is obvious that there is a bright future ahead of him. Sancho is definitely one of the best young English players in the game.

- Contract expires: 30.06.2020.
- High bravery, teamwork and work rate
- Physical attributes are just stunning
- Still room for improvement
Andy Robertson has excelled as part of the best defense in the Premier League. The Scotsman also contributes at the other end, registering 11 assists from left-back as both he and Trent Alexander-Arnold provide width when the Reds attack. Robertson is another who has established himself as one of the best in the world after a stellar season at Liverpool.

- Club: Aston Vila
- Value: 37,6 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- Amazingly rounded stats
- Tremendous attacking traits
- Consistent performer
Grealish is the captain of Aston Vila and a key player for the club. Well, this might be an understatement. When you take a look back Jack was absolutely a key man of Vila’s promotion last season, and also a key man of Vila’s somewhat unexpected success this season in Premiership.
Still young and with a lot of potential, Grealish could be a fantastic signing for any top side. His direct running and crossing will cause a massive threat for your opponents and will be crucial in making chances for your team.

3. Trent Alexander Arnold

- Tremendous vision
- Fantastic all-around stats
Trent Alexander Arnold is an English wonderkid who plays as a Right Back for Liverpool. He is also an English International who has represented the national team 7 times already.
Trent is a gifted RB who excels in the attacking third of the pitch. He is one of the best full backs in the game with the best crossing attributes among all right backs that are in the game. His overall balanced stats also make him a decent defender and will rake up multiple assists under the right manager.

2. Jamie Vardy
- Position: ST (C)

- Nationality: England
- Club: Leicester
- Value: 34,6 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2022.
- Amazing mental attributes
- His finishing is tremendous
- Well experienced
Yes, he is 32 and already playing his 6th season in Premiership, but Vardy will not stop. At least from what we saw so far from him. He is on top of Premier League’s top scorer’s list with 19 goals so far. Brendan Rodgers’ arrival in February injected new energy to the team and Vardy’s football as well.
There is no striker out there with fewer touches and more goals than Vardy. His efficiency is simply unbelievable, and England is very sorry that he retired from the national squad. With Jamie in your team you’ll get a fantastic, old-school finisher, with lethal touch and tremendous skill.

1. Raheem Sterling
- Position(s): M (LR), AM (RL)
- Age: 24
- Club: Manchester City
- Country: England
- Value: 86,6 M
- Contract expires: 30.06.2023.
- Fantastic pace
- Tremendous physical attributes
- Still have some room to improve
Raheem Sterling shocked the footballing world when he moved to Manchester City in 2015 for £50 million but he’s comfortably paid back City’s investment.
Sterling is arguably the most talented player in the England national team, already having over 50 caps to his name at the age of 24. Sterling’s fantastic pace, skill, and improving finishing skills have made him one of the most dangerous attackers in the world and one that would cost well over £150 million to purchase in the current market.
