Premier League best German players XI, with Arsenal dominating, plus Chelsea & Tottenham greats
Brazil may be out of the Copa America this summer, but the Premier League still owes a great deal to some of the finest players from the famous footballing nation to grace the English game…
GK: Julio Cesar
Brazil’s number one for many years, Julio Cesar was a hugely exciting signing for Queens Park Rangers, even if he couldn’t do enough to steer the club away from relegation.
DR: Rafael da Silva
A fine right-back who has for some reason fallen out of favour at Manchester United, Rafael is undoubtedly one of the best Brazilians seen in England.
DL: Sylvinho
A superb left-back with a rocket of a left foot, Sylvinho had successful spells with both Arsenal and Manchester City, and also starred in Spain for Barcelona.

DC: David Luiz
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s no denying that former Chelsea star David Luiz brought some fine moments in a Blues shirt, with some real wondergoals and performances with flair.
DC: Alex
A rock solid Brazilian centre-back who proved a good signing for Chelsea, Alex is another top defender to make a name for himself at Stamford Bridge.
MC: Gilberto Silva
An underrated defensive midfielder and fine leader, Gilberto was a top player for Arsenal and a member of their Invincibles side of 2003/04.
MC: Ramires
Not always a regular at Chelsea now, but Ramires is a big-game player who has played a major role in the club’s recent success, scoring in the 2012 FA Cup final and bossing the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona that same year.
AMR: Willian
A hardworking player who provides moments of great skill, Willian is another of Chelsea’s Brazilians to make a major impact in the Premier League.
AML: Philippe Coutinho
One of the best flair players in the country right now, Philippe Coutinho has been a revelation for Liverpool and always makes great entertainment.
AMC: Oscar
A classy and intelligent playmaker for Chelsea, Oscar is yet another part of the strong Brazilian contingent at Stamford Bridge.
FC: Robinho
A player who didn’t show his very best form in England, but Robinho certainly made an impact at Manchester City when he became the first big signing of the Sheikh Mansour era.
