Baroness Sue Campbell, the FA’s Director of Women’s Football, has admitted the British team flying out to Tokyo for the Olympic Games this summer will be predominantly English. With this in mind, the GiveMeSport Women team pick the non-English players they think should definitely be competing in the Japanese capital, and suggest those who have an outside chance. 

Must be on the plane

Georgia's pick - Caroline Weir 

Caroline Weir is unarguably one of the best midfielders in England right now. Her control, creativity and eye for a world-class goal puts her up there as perhaps one of the most threatening midfielders in the world.

Since joining Manchester City, Weir has been solid and consistent with her performances in the middle of the park. According to FBref, the Scot contributed to five goals and five assists in her debut season, going on to bag three goals and five assists the following term. She is on track to beating her personal best this time round, with seven goals and three assists to her name already.

Not only would she bring the typical City flair to the Team GB table, but she never falters under pressure. In fact, she loves a big occasion. Her rocket strikes against Manchester United both this season and last show that she is cool and calm when her team needs her the most. Weir should be one of the first non-English names on Hege Riise's squad list as we head into the Olympics.
