We have already seen glimpses of what Philippe Coutinho is capable of doing last season. The Brazilian had an instant impact at the Nou Camp after joining Barcelona from Liverpool during the winter, bagging a whopping 10 goals, and creating 6 assists during the campaign.

He has shown us several times that he is capable of forming a perfect chemistry with Lionel Messi on the pitch. With his incredible attacking skills, the Brazilian could form a perfect attacking trio alongside the Argentine and Luis Suarez up front, or serve as a creative pivot behind the attackers.
Coutinho could help Lionel Messi raise his goal tally this season with his incredible ability to create clear-cut chances almost from nothing. His perfect link up and amazing passing will also help the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner concentrate on his attacking exploits and avoid dropping deep in midfield to orchestrate team play too often.
