Right Winger - Angel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain)

Like Nicolas Otamendi and Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria has been around the Argentina national team setup for a while now.

Di Maria is one of the most underrated players in the world. Although he has produced world-class performances for Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina, Di Maria's career has often been defined by his stint with Manchester United. Few can deny his quality, though.

An excellent dribbler and creator, the 33-year-old scored the only goal of the game in the final of the Copa America this summer. Di Maria is a world-class player, and both Argentina and Paris Saint-Germain are lucky to have him.


Striker - Joaquin Correa (Inter Milan)

Joaquin Correa started the game against Paraguay ahead of his Inter Milan teammate Lautaro Martinez.

Correa is not a conventional no.9. A versatile forward, the former Lazio man is technically excellent, is a good passer, and is able to drop deep to facilitate play. Inter Milan recruited him this summer as they sought to replace the Chelsea-bound Romelu Lukaku.

Correa is not a prolific goalscorer. He scored eight goals for Lazio in the league last season, and has two so far for Inter Milan. The 27-year-old does provide fluidity to his team's attacking play, though.


Left Winger - Nicolas Gonzalez (Fiorentina)

Nicolas Gonzalez is a highly rated talent who was linked with Leeds United and Brighton & Hove Albion this summer before joining Fiorentina.

Gonzalez did not come cheap. Fiorentina paid Stuttgart £21 million for his services. A creative forward with good dribbling numbers, Gonzalez impressed during his time in Germany with his ability to dictate play from the wings.

The 23-year-old endured some injury issues last season, but was part of the squad that won the Copa America this summer. Gonzalez has started slowly for Fiorentina, but has the potential to become one of the best in the game.


Other options: Julian Alvarez (River Plate), Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan), Lucas Alario (Bayer Leverkusen), Angel Correa (Atletico Madrid), Alejandro Gomez (Sevilla).
