A ridiculously good XI of Brazilian players in the Premier League

Brazil is renowned for producing excellent players and the Premier League has seen some truly brilliant Brazilians over the years. 

English sides have signed a lot of Brazilian players in recent years and they spent around £350million on them during the 2022 summer window.

We’ve compiled a brilliant XI of Brazilian players that are currently in the Premier League, arranged in a 4-3-3 formation.

GK: Alisson

Admittedly, we were spoilt for choice when picking a goalkeeper for this team.

Liverpool’s Alisson and Manchester City’s Ederson have established themselves as two of the best goalkeepers in the world, helping their sides dominate in the Premier League.

“He is the Benjamin Button of football,” Tuchel said. “I know how much work, how much professional attitude is behind that.

“It is a miracle in a way because with this league, this schedule, this intensity of a daily business at the very end of his career, it was a very brave decision for him but I know how much effort he puts in to stay fit.”

CB: Gabriel Magalhaes

Having watched the likes of David Luiz and Andre Santos play for their club, Arsenal fans were probably a bit nervous when they signed another Brazilian defender in the summer of 2020.
