#3 Raphinha (Leeds United)
Raphinha has established himself as one of the best wingers in the Premier League right now. There is a growing feeling among fans of the English top-flight that the Brazilian is unlikely to stick with Leeds United for much longer.
The 25-year-old is a top talent. He has got all the attributes expected of a quality Brazilian winger. Raphinha packs plenty of pace, is very direct, positive and aggressive with his dribbling and can test the goalkeeper from anywhere around the final third.
He is also a dead-ball specialist and is just as dangerous from indirect free kicks as he is from direct ones. Raphinha has singlehandedly kept Leeds United in several Premier League games this season.
In 20 appearances across all competitions for Leeds United this season, he has scored eight goals and provided two assists. Raphina and Antony together will make for a selection headache for Tite at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
#2 Neymar Jr. (Paris Saint-Germain)
At his best, Neymar Jr. is one of the best footballers on the planet. The Brazilian is one of the greatest attackers of the 21st century and boasts of the most expensive transfer amount in world football. But has not lived upto his own lofty standards this term. Neymar has had niggling injury issues and has not exactly got into his groove just yet.
He has been out for two months with a knee injury and is expected to return to the fray in February. Neymar also struggled with fitness at the start of the season. But we've still seen flashes of his genius, albeit rarely this season.
Neymar has scored just three goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances so far this term. But once he finds his form again, he will have no trouble improving those numbers.
#1 Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)
For a very long time it looked like Brazil were going to have to outdo themselves to produce talent on the same level as Neymar. When Vinicius Jr. first broke onto the scene with Real Madrid, he was identified as a mercurial winger with great technical ability.
In his first few seasons, Vinicius Jr. offered glimpses of the brilliance he was capable of. However, his final touch and composure in the final third let him down consistently. But this season, Vinicius has turned it up a couple of notches and doubled down on his strengths.
As a result, he has been simply unstoppable this term. Vinicius Jr. is currently one of the best attackers in Europe. His blistering pace, trickery and finishing have rendered him a nightmare for opponents.
Vinicius Jr. has scored 15 goals and provided 10 assists in 30 appearances across all competitions so far this season. If he continues in the same vein, it will be interesting to see how both him and Neymar can be accommodated in the same starting lineup.
