*Market value according to Transfermarkt
With Lucas Perri in goal, Lodi, Murillo, Bremer and Vanderson defending, this Brazil team could have a good performance in the continental tournament. Especially considering that Fabinho and Joelinton are in the midfield, and that the attack would be led by Neymar, Cunha, Joao Pedro and Gabriel Jesús.
Could any of these players fight for a place in Brazil’s starting eleven for the Copa América? For Dorival Júnior, who left these stars out of the international competition, the answer is more than clear.
