LÉO PEREIRA
- ATHLETICO PARANAENSE
- 23
- CB
Scouted by many in Europe & quite possibly Pablo Marí’s replacement at Flamengo. A similar tall, commanding leader who’s been a key player for an excellent well drilled CAP side over recent years.

LUCAS HALTER
- ATHLETICO PARANAENSE

- CB
Technically above average for his size and a great threat at set pieces. Another top youngster that has came through the this extremely well run Paraná club. Recently strongly linked to a move to Galatasary.

LUAN
- CORINTHIANS
- 26
- CAM
Aiming to put the injuries and the last year or so behind him Luan will once again be making everyone realise just how talented he is at Corinthians.
Under Tiago Nunes, Brazil’s most talented young manager, Luan will take his game to another level.

PEDRINHO
- CORINTHIANS
- 21
- CAM
Known fora lack of end product, Pedrinho is an underrated and wonderfully gifted player. Previously disadvantaged by playing in a negative team but times are changing & Pedrinho will prove how good he is.
He’s not 🇧🇷 u23 no.10 for nothing.

JEAN PYERRE
- GRÊMIO
- 21
- CM
This Grêmio midfielder has everything, so comfortable on the ball, constantly drives into space, uses his body and shields the ball expertly, a great goal threat from distance and top long passer.
Will be playing for 🇧🇷 sooner than you think.

MATHEUS HENRIQUE
- GRÊMIO
- 22
- CM
A key part of Brazil’s u23 Olympic side and with a 🇧🇷 cap to his name. Looking to follow in the footsteps of Arthur. The São Paulo born midfielder possesses superb ability. A world class passer, the constant metronome that keeps sides ticking

PEPÊ
- GRÊMIO
- 22
- LW
Often coming off the bench for Grêmio in previous seasons, 2020 will be the one that he makes his mark on Renato Gaúcho’s squad. Tricky, pacy and a great goalscorer from outwide. He’s in the 🇧🇷 u23 squad for a reason.

ALISSON
- GRÊMIO

- AMR
Arguably Grêmio‘s best player last season, Alisson is a brilliant crossing of a ball and a constant threat outwide. As well a brilliant set piece taker. Very strong on the ball and is fouled constantly due to his sheer quality.

CAIO HENRIQUE
- GRÊMIO
- 22
- LB/CM
Former midfielder turned fullback, Caio has found his role on the left. A top prospect from Santos that didn’t get much chance at Atlético. But he was a stand out performer in a poor Fluminense team last year. Currently 🇧🇷 u23 LB.

GERSON
- FLAMENGO

- CM
No suprise there’s a Flamengo man on the list. And he’s not the only one. With Bruno Guimarães going to Europe Gerson will look to cement his spot as the best CM in 🇧🇷.
A Brazil cap would be thoroughly deserved. Rolls Royce of a midfielder.

THIAGO MAIA

An underwhelming stint in Europe, but if anyone can revive this mans career its Jorge Jesus, and he most definitely will. Ask any Santos fan and they’ll tell you if this mans quality. Potentially one of the best midfielders in SA.

MICHAEL
- FLAMENGO

- AML/R
The best newcomer in 🇧🇷 last year, Michael is as gifted as they come, capable of scoring incredible goals. 16 goals last season in a poor side was miraculous. Mesmerising at times.
He’ll be playing for 🇧🇷 very soon.

RODRIGO CAIO

The best defender in 🇧🇷. Rodrigo Caio showed the 🌍 what he was capable of during his brilliantly composed display vs Liverpool.
Leading the back line of one of the best teams in the world is not easy.
Should easily be in the 🇧🇷 squad.

BRUNO HENRIQUE

- LW/CF
Not much to say about this man. Best footballer in South America right now and the fastest footballer in the world. Genuinely unplayable on his day & always turns up in big games. Gave Trent nightmares. Expect another remarkable year.

PEDRO
- FLAMENGO

The inform footballer in 🇧🇷 18 months ago until an awful knee injury put on hold a move to Real Madrid.
A complete centre forward. The best Gabigol replacement Flamengo could have wished for.
He’ll score for fun this year.

LÉO SANTOS

- 21

Another young gifted ball playing CB that will reach new highest under Tiago Nunes in São Paulo.
There’s a reason he was heavily scouted by Europe and recently Real Madrid. Expect to hear a lot more about him.

Personally feel this is 🇧🇷 greatest young CB prospect. An elegant, composed, commanding CB.
No exaggeration when I say he is Brazil’s answer to replacing Thiago Silva.

Another top CB playing in Brazil right now. Heavily targeted by Everton in recent weeks. He’s played 150 games for Santos in the last 3.5 seasons. And has been immense.

GABRIEL VERON
- PALMEIRAS

- WINGER
Whatever I say you’ve probably heard it before. U17 World Cup best player & 🇧🇷 2nd biggest talent of his generation. 2 goals in 70 minutes of professional football. He’s ready to tear up Brazil in 2020. A true superstar in the making.

TIAGO VOLPI

- 29
- GK
The Best goalkeeper in 🇧🇷 right now. An incredible shot stopper that wins games on his own.
No reason why he won’t keep up his level of performance in 2020.
A 🇧🇷 call up should be happening. Tite should be watching very closely.

TALLES MAGNO
- VASCO
- 17
- CF/LW
A big part of Brazil’s u17 side already, Talles has a big future. Played over 1000 minutes of football in the Brasileirão last year and we should expect to see a lot more. A brilliant dribbler for his height with an eye for goal.

MARRONY
- VASCO

- CF/LW
This 20 year old would suit Premier League football perfectly. Great in the air, athletic, quick, great in transition on the counter, & a gifted dribbler that gets up and down the pitch/a top work rate.

MARCOS PAULO

- 18
- CF
Capable of becoming the complete CF. Unfortunately he has a 🇵🇹 passport and represents their u19’s. There’s still time for 🇧🇷 to change that.
Great in the air, strong and quick with great movement off the CB. Defenders nightmare.

- RW
We all know of this kids quality by now. A star in 🇧🇷 u23 side already. The world will see him shine in the Olympics. Expect to see him score a lot more goals in 2020 and take responsibility/stamp his authority on São Paulo’s forward line.

EVERTON
- GRÊMIO
- 23
- LW
One of the top 5 footballers in South America. We all know how good this man is. Good enough to start for 🇧🇷. 19 goals in consecutive years now. If he doesn’t move to Europe he’ll light up 🇧🇷 football again.

GUGA
- ATLÉTICO MINEIRO
- 21
- RB
Formerly at Avaí, Guga got his big move to Minas Gerais in 2019. Small in stature but technically gifted and a strong tackler. He’s slotted into 🇧🇷 u23 team effortlessly and is a great outlet on the right. No doubt he’s going to have a big year

DUDU

- CAM/LW/RW
One of the classiest players in Brazil. Technically brilliant and would get a lot more credit if he played around better attacking players. He carries his team offensively. He’s always one of the standout players in 🇧🇷. Baller

This man makes Flamengo tick. Nearly everything good starts with him. Constantly finding space between the lines and a wand of a left foot. Assists for fun. The mans worth paying to watch at times. He’ll be class again in 2020.

LAZARO
- FLAMENGO
- 17

Brazil’s greatest CF talent of his generation. Came on twice and scored the winning goal in the u17 World Cup Semi & final. An absolutely lethal goalscorer with a brilliant mentality.
Recently had knee surgery. Fingers crossed it doesn’t hinder him.

LINCOLN

This kid has been slept on recently. But he’s still only 19. He knows where the goal is, his movement in the box is great. He just needs confidence. We should see more of him this year. I’m sure he’ll bang in the goals. Its what he does best.

On loan from RB Leipzig to newly bought Red Bull side Bragantino. 2020 will be the year that everyone hears about Luan. This roaming left back is extremely raw but has bags of talent.

Maybe someone you’ve never heard of but I feel he’ll have an impact on arguably the team to watch in 🇧🇷 this season. RB Bragantino will be the dark horses, and Anderson will have a key role in this.

ARTHUR

- RW/LW
This kid is going to light up games for Bragantino, an excellent dribbler & crosser. Only 168cm, with a low centre of gravity and great close control. He’s also a very good set piece taker. Keep an eye out.

One of the most exciting players in 🇧🇷. Assists a lot and a good goalscorer. Has a great cross on him and cuts inside for fun. A constant threat.
