Brazil

The Brazil squad is deservedly ranked as the number one team heading into the Winter World Cup, considering the amount of quality within the team.

The South American squad includes Neymar (OVR 91), Casemiro (OVR 90), Alisson (OVR 89), Marquinhos (OVR 88), Ederson (OVR 88) and the list could go on!

Argentina

The Argentina squad has bags of quality too, with the greatest of all time, Lionel Messi, captaining the side and dictating the attack.

Alongside Messi (OVR 91) will be the likes of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez (OVR 87) and AS Roma summer signing Paulo Dybala (OVR 86).

England

It may come as a shock to some England fans to see the Three Lions rated below some of the teams they have beaten in the last major tournaments.

Southgate's squad has been given an 83 rating, with the captain Harry Kane (OVR 90) and Chelsea new boy Raheem Sterling (OVR 88) the highest-rated players in the team.
