#4 Paolo Guerrero (Peru)

A Copa America veteran, Guerrero is set to partake in the competition for a fifth time with La Blanquirroja. And even at 35 years of age, he continues to lead the line for his side as he will once again be the sole fulcrum of Peru in the upcoming tournament proper.

A Golden Boot winner in the 2011 and 2015 editions, Guerrero has developed a knack for delivering in this competition. In fact, his 11 goals in the competition make him one of the highest active scorers in history.

He also bagged apiece in 2016's Centenario edition as well as in last year's World Cup, but Guerrero's international career hit a speed bump after being imposed with a 14-month doping ban.

He hasn't represented Peru since netting the winner against Australia last June, though that embargo is now due and he's been named in Peru's 23-man squad, which is a huge boost for the side ahead of the opener against Venezuela.
