The Seleção, are known to produce some of the finest footballers the world has ever seen. And the sheer number of attacking talent that comes from Brazil is unbelievable.
Brazilian players, especially the attackers really have something special about them. They are skilful, always running down the pitch and they can score some goals. Over the years Premier League has seen its fair share of Brazilians plying their trade in the league.
Well, it is quite obvious that best of the best Brazilians prefer Spain as their favourite destination. With players like Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho all having played in La Liga in their peak years, it is sad that Premier League fans never get to see them play in England.
But that by no means suggests that all the Brazilians playing in the EPL are not good enough. If we look at the EPL clubs we'll find that the two best goalkeepers of the Seleção currently play in the league. Even the Brazil No.9 plays for a Premier League club.
So, with all that being said let's look at the top 5 Brazilian Premier League players of the season so far.
#5 David Luiz
The 31-year-old player, who is currently on his second stint at Stamford Bridge, has put in one of the best defensive performances in the league so far.
David Luiz has started in all the fixtures for the Blues this season. He has been part of the Chelsea defense that has only conceded three goals so far.
Stats suggest that he has been the best performing Brazilian defender in the league. He has helped his club keep two clean sheets in four matches. According to Squawka, David Luiz has delivered more successful long balls than any other Chelsea player. And also has seen more of the ball, with the second highest number of passes by any Chelsea player.
This goal scoring defender is without a doubt the best Brazilian defender playing in the league right now.
#4 Alisson Becker
Alisson, who was brought in by Jurgen Klopp this season, has had a great start to his Premier League career. The £65 Million he costed Liverpool very well might be worth it if he keeps up his performance.
Coming to the statistics, he has only conceded one goal so far, in four fixtures. He has the league best three clean sheets. And his performances between the posts have been crucial to Liverpool's unbeaten so far.
As of now, he is one of the best keepers of the league and hands down the best Brazilian goalkeeper playing in the league.
#3 Roberto Firmino
The second Liverpool player in our list, like his fellow countrymen, he has been in good form this season. Firmino, who has adjusted very well to the tough false 9 position, has been a consistent performer, ever since he joined the Reds.
In the four matches played so far, he has scored one goal and set up another two for his teammates. Although he is not always on the score-sheet, he has an incredible work-rate and it his intelligent movements that actually allow, Salah and Mane, to make runs inside from the flanks.
He is a real attacking threat, whether he is on the ball or not, and thus makes it on this list as one of the best Brazilian to be playing in the league right now.
#2 Lucas Moura
Lucas Moura, or Lucas as he is commonly known as has been a revelation this season for Tottenham Hotspurs. He has stepped up his game this season and justified his inclusion in the lineup.
The former PSG winger has scored 3 goals this season, including the brace against Machester United in a famous 0-3 win at Old Trafford. Also, he has one assist to his name. With that, he has been involved in more goals than any other Spurs player so far.
He won the EA Sports Player of the Month Award, last month, so his inclusion in this list as one of the best Brazilian player of the league was never in doubt.
#1 Richarlison
The 21-year-old attacker has been in red-hot form this season. Richarlison also received his first ever call-up for the Seleção, recently. And he made the most of it by scoring two beautiful goals against El Salvador on Tuesday.
He has scored three goals in three starts for the Toffees and he would've scored even more, if not for his red card and subsequent 3 match ban. He has a 100 % shot conversion record so far, scoring 3 goals with 3 shots on target.
He has been finally seen as the up and coming star of the Brazilian football. And the player being just 21 years old now, he has all the potential in the world to become the next big thing.
