FIFA World Cup 2018: South American combined XI

Brazil Press Conference
Tite helped Brazil qualify for Russia with a few games in their hand

Goalkeeper

Manchester City v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
Ederson has had a great start to his time at Manchester City

The spot between the sticks is between two Brazilians for me, but Ederson just about warrants his place in the XI ahead of Allison Becker, another quality goalkeeper, more so because he has been an integral part of a league-winning season for Manchester City.

Truth be told, apart from those two, South America is lacking in top-class goalkeepers, at least when compared to their European rivals.

Ederson has only conceded 26 goals in the Premier League this season, the least of any club in the English top flight, and has also had a hand in 16 clean sheets - not bad for a 24-year-old in his first season at a new club.

Substitute - Allison Becker
