A front line of Neymar, Coutinho, Lucas Moura and Firmino sounds juicy. Perhaps Barbosa can join in soon too? It's not like he's got plenty of competition on the NT.

A bit young imo and I'm still on the fence about him. He didn't have the greatest seasons in the Brasileiro after lighting up the Paulista. It will be a long time if Barbosa makes the senior NT.

As far as Coutinho, its good too see him fulfilling his potential.

coutinho is very talented, but very inconsistent, even for a young player. One game he's iniesta reincarnate, then he's clumsy and slow the next. He has much developing to do before he should start for brasil.

Far of a starting spot for Brazil? Hardly, or at least, shouldnt be. Outside of Neymar and Oscar, Brazils offense is a joke. Should definitely be a spot ready for him soon.

Neymar, Oscar, Lucas Moura, Luiz Adriano, and Roberto Firmino doesn't sound like much of a joke imo.

Luiz Adriano is overrated by scoring easy goals in Ukraine and minnows in CL. Oscar is simply not able to be the offensive am we want him to be. He has become the stereotypical Mourinho player.

Neymar, Lucas Moura, Firmino, and Coutinho are probably the only really offensive players we have and only Neymar is a starter. Hopefully Dunga gets his head out of his ass and starts Coutinho over Oscar.

Why not something like

-------------Firmino------------
--Neymar--Coutinho--Moura--
-------Oscar----Fernadinho----
Back 4 and GK

I would still have Luiz Gustavo in there, he's far too good a player not to start, and still only 27 after all these years and trophies. Willian is another quality player whose only problem is he doesn't get enough goals/assists but is superb at everything else.

This is my dream except replace Fernandinho (old and overrated) with Luiz Gustavo. But I don't think Dunga will ever do it like this. Firmino will probably be the only one to be a starter because Tardelli is older and playing in China. Moura will probably be an eternal backup to Willian. And I have a hard time seeing Dunga be smart enough to make Oscar a CM.

What is Gustavo up to these days? He was sold by Bayern, right? And Willian probably would start, you guys are right, just because of his workrate, I just like Moura more.

Moura would definitely start given the season he's having. He's amazing. So I guess that means a strong bench for them as well.

It looks like Suarez taught him a thing or two on nutmegging:
