Lucas Paquetá is the most technically gifted midfielder in Brazil's squad, a player who reinvented himself at Lyon before becoming a key creative force at West Ham under David Moyes and later Julen Lopetegui. Originally a number ten at Flamengo and AC Milan, he evolved into a dynamic left-sided midfielder capable of carrying the ball, linking play, and arriving late into the box. His return to Flamengo in 2025 came amid legal proceedings from the FA regarding alleged betting irregularities, a situation that has cast a shadow over his international standing despite his undeniable quality.
