#5 Philippe Coutinho (Brazil)

Russia v Brazil - International Friendly

Coutinho made a high profile move from Liverpool to Barcelona in January. Most recently, he played and scored in Brazil's friendly match against Russia.

Brazil has many talents in the attack, but whether the whole team can work together remains a question to be answered. The right-footed player is superb in his passing and set-pieces, which makes him a perfect attacking midfielder.

His dribbling pace and agility makes it difficult for defenders to mark him throughout the game as he moves the ball quickly from one position to another. Previously at Liverpool, Coutinho has been hailed a hero for many seasons.

For the upcoming World Cup, he may become Brazil's star player alongside Neymar.
