Defenders: RB: Marcos Rocha, CB: Marquinhos, CB: Miranda, RB: Filipe Luis
Brazil are commonly perceived as a nation focused on attacking football, but there are plenty of excellent defenders hailing from these shores as shown by the likes of Thiago Silva, Dante and David Luiz.
Atletico Mineiro’s Marcos Rocha is our first pick at the back for Brazil Reserves, slotting in at right-back in our four-man defence. Rocha typifies the swashbuckling Brazilian full-back with 18 chances created this season from the right and has notched two goals in the process.
At centre-back, we have PSG’s mega-money signing Marquinhos and Atletico Madrid star Miranda. The former will bring composure to the back line with a 92 per cent pass completion rate while the latter adds steel with a 94 per cent tackle success rate.
We return to Atletico Madrid once again for the final addition to our back four, as Filipe Luis deservedly takes his place in the line-up with an 82 per cent pass accuracy and 83 per cent tackle success rate.
