CM – Fernandinho
Manchester City’s talented holding midfielder who would be the perfect foil for Coutinho, who would look to get forward. Since moving to the north west, having spent eight years at Shakhtar, he has been a revelation.
CM – Philippe Coutinho
An absolute magician this season for Liverpool, Coutinho has stolen the show on many occasions, including against Manchester City, and he must surely be in line for a call-up to the national side.
AMC – Oscar
Six goals and seven assists so far for Premier League leaders Chelsea and performed well in an unconvincing Brazil side during the World Cup. An international shoe-in who would be complemented by Coutinho’s creativity and ability to make things happen.
