#3 Alisson
Two years ago, Alisson made several errors as Brazil crashed out of the group stages in the Copa America Centenario 2016. At that point, his international career seemed to be in ruin as he had failed in what was a second-string Brazil side. His struggles continued in 2016-17 where he didn’t make a single appearance in Serie A for Italian giants AS Roma. Yet, over the past season, Alisson transformed from a backup to one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
In fact, statistically, the Brazilian was the best goalkeeper in Serie A. This in a league that includes Buffon, Szczesny, Samir Handanovic and Pepe Reina. He also performed well at the biggest stage, where he was exceptional in the Champions League. This was especially true at the Stadio Olimpico, where Alisson only conceded two goals in five games as Roma upset Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to reach the semifinals of the Champions League. Such error-free performances is why the Roma shot-stopper is ranked above the more erratic Lloris and Courtois. Alisson’s performances have led to several transfer rumors surrounding the Brazilian. However, Alisson will need to set those rumors aside if he is to help Brazil avenge the humiliation of 2014 and win a record sixth World Cup.
