#1 Douglas Costa

Juventus v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League
Douglas Costa has ability to both score and create goals

One of the best wingers in the world, Douglas Costa also failed to fit himself in Tite's guaranteed squad. Costa with regular first-team appearance under previous coach Dunga, providing fine performances under Pep Guardiola for Bayern Munich left many scratching their heads after Tite's announcement.

Douglas Costa arrived at Turin not 100 percent fit having missed most of season as his transfer from Bayern Munich dragged on.

The Juventus man's international hopes suffer from one injury blow after another, missing place in Tite's guaranteed squad. He has been left mostly cursing his bad luck over the past two years, as every time Douglas has been called up he had suffered an injury. Good news for Douglas is that Tite is still trying to find a reserve for Neymar and that could be Costa.
