Firmino, Gabriel Jesus, Ederson, Fernandinho, Willian, Douglas Costa, Alex Sandro, Fabinho, Taison etc 

The strength in depth they have is absolutely outrageous.

Also, in Alisson & Ederson they now have two exceptional goalkeepers, something they lacked in 2014 because Julio Cesar was clearly past his prime.

Some team in fairness to them


That's an incredibly attacking XI


With the likes of Coutinho, Willian and Lucas Moura just 3 names off the top of my head that could do a job there if required and fit in seamlessly...

Is Thiago Silva not first choice any more? He's an absolute beast at his best!

Coutinho is in there already

It’s insane, seems there’s a few different versions of what actually went down. Some people were reporting that he said he would “devour” the wife but it was an incorrect translation, he only said he’d bang her

Neymar stripped of Brazil captaincy. Dani Alves will captain during the Copa America.

Looking at their squad though, I'd struggle to see who would could possible take over the captaincy on a permanent basis, not a lot of players in the squad who'd scream leader in the long term. The one's in bold would be the only ones I'd consider having a realistic chance given age profile of majority that squad.

That is of course assuming Neymar doesn't get it again though I doubt he will as rumours the CBF stripped him due his latest discipline issues.

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Ederson, Cassio

Defenders: Dani Alves, Fagner, Alex Sandro, Filipe Luis, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Marquinhos, Eder Militao

Midfielders: Casemiro, Fernandinho, Arthur, Allan, Lucas Paqueta, Philippe Coutinho

Forwards: Neymar, Everton, David Neres, Richarlison, Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Jesus
