What is Brazil’s strongest XI heading into the World Cup?

Brazil are going to the World Cup as one of the strongest teams in the competition. Their attack is by far one of the deepest, and has world-class options from top to bottom. 

While it will be difficult to choose an out-and-out starting eleven for every game, but this is what it could look like for the team in Qatar: 

GK: Alisson 

RB: Dani Alves 

CB: Thiago Silva

CB: Marquinhos 

LB: Alex Telles 

CDM: Casemiro

CM: Fred 

CM: Bruno Guimaraes 

RW: Vinicius Jr

ST: Gabriel Jesus

LW: Neymar
