The player in Spot A is Harry Maguire, who is the tallest at 1.94m.
Spot B, our goalkeeper, is Brighton's Mat Ryan.
To work out who stands in Spot C you needed to determine who the shortest of the remaining players was. The answer is Patrick van Aanholt, at 1.76m tall.
Callum Wilson is 4cm shorter than Mat Ryan, so he takes Spot D.
Spot E belongs to West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller, who is 10cm taller than Callum Wilson.
