World Cup 2022: Five terrifying ways Brazil could line up in Qatar

Brazil are currently favourites to win the 2022 World Cup.

Now, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise because their national team is absolutely stacked with incredible ballers.

Neymar, Vinicius Junior, Gabriel Jesus, Casemiro, Alisson Becker represent five of the Selecao’s headline talents.

But the sheer depth of quality in their squad – which we recently covered because it’s just too amazing not to – is something out of the ordinary.

So blessed are Brazil with world class footballers, that nobody actually knows how they’re going to line up in Qatar.

And for that reason, we thought we’d do a little bit of speculating and analyse five of the best ways Brazil could set themselves up for glory at the 2022 World Cup.

One thing that you always want to see from a Brazil team is an emphasis on attack.

There is simply no point having ballers like Neymar and Vinicius if you aren’t going to give them the freedom to work their magic and, in this formation, we’ve prioritised that need.

GK – Alisson

RB – Danilo CB – Marquinhos CB – Militao LB – Lodi

CM- Casemiro CM – Fabinho CAM – Neymar

RW – RodrygoST – Jesus LW – Vinicius

Before you say it, we are aware that statistically it’s not the best attacks that win World Cups but the best defences, but we feel like despite the attacking formation, the inclusion of two world class defensive midfielders provides enough cover here.

Whilst the fluid and creative set-up will allow the genius of their stars to flourish.

Okay, so just to do a little demonstrating on the matter of Brazil’s unholy level of squad depth, we’re going to use exactly the same formation but keep only a few key players.

GK – Ederson

RB – DaniloCB – Silva CB – Bremer / IbaezLB – Alex Sandro / Telles
