Actual Squad:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (Roma).
Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Gilberto (Cruzeiro) - couldn't take the pace at Tottenham, had a few mares, Michel Bastos (Lyon), Juan (Roma), Lucio (Inter Milan), Luisao (Benfica), Thiago Silva (AC Milan).
Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos) - When he left Arsenal he was considered too slow for the Premier League, Josue (Wolfsburg), Felipe Melo (Juventus), Lucas (Liverpool) - by no means a kop herovery one dimensional, Kaka (Real Madrid), Ramires (Benfica), Elano (Galatasaray) - Far too inconsitant in the Premier League, good at set pieces but losy in open play, Julio Baptista (Roma) - Since his days at Madrid his form has gone down hill, would struggle to get in any top premier league side, Kleberson (Flamengo) - a better player now than he was at Man U.
Forwards: Robinho (Santos) - only one goal this season for Manchester City can be bullied out of games, Adriano (Flamengo), Nilmar (Villarreal), Luis Fabiano (Seville).Alternative options:
Goalkeepers: Heurelho Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur) - after a shaky start for Spurs he has cemented himself as first choice, Dida (AC Milan) - Yeah I know he's awlful but I couldn't think of another keeper. or possibly Helton (Porto)
Defenders: Rafael da Silva (Manchester United) - picked for big games by Alex Ferguson still young and getting better with every game. Maxwell (Barcelona) - trusted by Barca to play left back so why not Brazil? Cris (Lyon) - captain of Lyon. Hilton (Marseille) - doing well at the back for the french club, Andre Santos (Fenerbache) 9 caps for Brazil in the last year, a surprise omission. Marcelo (Real Madrid) - a young full back with a lot of experience.
Midfielders: Anderson (Manchester United) - in and out of the team for United, nearly 100 appearences for them and still young. Better than Lucas, Elano and Gilberto Silva. Diego (Juventus) - though he hasn't set Seria A on fire he is a decent player. Paulo Assuncao (Athletico Madrid) - consitent defensive midfielder a week in week out 7/10 player. Thiago Motta (Inter Milan) - Brazil should snap him up before Italy do. Ilsinho (Shahktar Donetsk) - good creative midfielder helped them win Uefa cup, Jadson (Shahktar Donetsk) - another talent who helped Shakhtar to Uefa glory. Wendel (Bordeaux) - good left winger for the french club, helped them to the championship last year. Denilson (Arsenal) - first choice for the gunners top player, if they don't pick him soon he will be able to play for England. Hernanes (Sao Paulo) - a promising midfielder, now 24 though.
Forwards: Ronaldinho (AC Milan) - back among the goals this season, on form considerably better than Robinho. Hulk (Porto) - Always among the goals, including some big ones in the Champions League. Vagner Love (Flamengo) - back in Brazil and scoring for fun. Guilherme (CSKA Moscow) - scores goals, what more do you want from a Striker. Pato (AC Milan) - I know hes injured but he's running out of time to replace Nilmar in the world cup squad.
