England made it three wins from three with a 2-1 win against Poland last night, as Harry Maguire's thumping finish saw Gareth Southgate's side round off a morale-boosting 2022 Word Cup qualification.
The international break has left Southgate with a Euro 2020 squad selection dilemma more fraught with peril than making a definitive decision on a Saturday night takeaway meal deal:
Will he go with tried and tested, stodgy mac 'n' cheese that is Eric Dier? Perhaps the tantalising jalapeno poppers that are Phil Foden? Or Jack Grealish, the human embodiment of a combo sizzler platter.
You can't have them all, Gareth! Food for thought, it certainly is.
Anyway, that aside, we've kept a watchful eye over all of Southgate's players during the three-game international break bonanza, and ranked them accordingly. Here's we rared every Three Lions player to feature over the course of the World Cup qualification matches:

9. James Ward-Prowse - Overall rating: 7/10
JWP has played his way into the manager's good books with his creative flair and relentlessly accurate set-piece taking, and he chipped in with his first England goal against San Marino. Photo: ADAM DAVY
10. Luke Shaw - Overall rating: 7.1/10
Called upon for the Albania game, the Man Utd left-back provided a terrific cross for Harry Kane's headed goal. Defensively, he was strong too, and will continue to challenge Ben Chilwell for a starting spot right up until the Euros begin. Photo: OZAN KOSE
11. Ben Chilwell - Overall rating: 7.1/10
Handed two starts, Chilwell offered a lively option down the left flank. He provided a lovely cross for James Ward-Prowse's goal against San Marino, and linked in nicely with the attacking unit against Poland. Photo: Pool
12. Kalvin Phillips - Overall rating: 7.2/10
"Urgh! Why are England playing TWO DMs?!" Let it go, guys. Phillips is hardly a lumpen shin-destroyer from the National League. Tidy and dynamic, he kept England ticking over nicely in all three games. Photo: Catherine Ivill
