Do you think international form should matter? To me it seems like a less reliable indicator given the long breaks between international fixtures and susceptibility to small sample size.
But it's an indicator of how they will perform in this system and environment, with these teammates. I know the sample size is a significant issue, but the club form can be in a radically different context. Maybe Harry Maguire, say, is much more comfortable playing for England with more protection from the central midfielders, or feels more attuned with his international teammates than those at Man Utd.
