Éderson Silva is a midfield unit option in Brazil's 4-2-4. Ancelotti can field a front four of Vinicius Junior, Raphinha, Estevao and Matheus Cunha, but the point is not freedom for its own sake; the forwards must work so the talent does not split the team in two. Expected minutes: 0-45 unless promoted into the starting XI.

Why Casual Fans Should Watch

Éderson Silva is easiest to follow through one question: can this role help Brazil create their preferred Wide Overload game before this weakness becomes decisive? The front-four version can become shockingly unbalanced if the forwards do not press, track and protect Casemiro.
