Top 10 Midfielders for Fantasy Brasileiro Campeonato Football in 2025
10. Walace (Cruzeiro)
It’s hard for any player to leave a club after spending six years with the organization. It can be hard to bounce back to form, sure. That’s what Walace needed to do when he left Udinese and returned to Brazil, signing for Cruzeiro.
Get Walace on your team if you want a specialized midfielder. The player puts up great passing numbers. That might just be enough! But, be warned, Walace doesn’t take many shots on goal and rarely ventures out to make a tackle. Still, the player is worth your consideration.
9. Allan (Botafogo)
Allan, to be fair, has always been one of the Brazilian players with the highest tactical acumen. Capable of playing in multiple positions, and willing to make himself an asset for teams like Udinese, Everton and Napoli, Allan has enjoyed a great career.
The return to Brazil has been fortuitous for both him and his new club, Botafogo, which won the 2024 title.
Is there more silverware and a place on your fantasy football team on the horizon for Allan?
8. Jefferson Savarino (Botafogo)
Jefferson Savarino is not one of the top 50 best-paid players in the Campeonato Serie A. And his agent really ought to speak to those in charge of champions Botafogo.
Savarino manages to be the complete midfield package without exactly registering as one of the league’s stars. But if you want a dependable fantasy football midfielder, you and Botafogo might need him.
7. Kanu (Bahia)
Bahia managed a respectable 8th-place finish in 2024. It means that the team qualifies for the Copa Sudamericana. Much of that success was down to midfielders like Kanu and their sensational stats.
Kanu had the best pass completion rate of any of the players in the league, 94.2%. And, with such a talented group of players backing him up, Bahia could do even better this year. Here’s a player you need to consider for your team!
6. Erick Pulgar (Flamengo)
Fans of European football might remember Erick Pulgar as the tough-as-nails midfielder who enjoyed a long Serie A career and smashed into more than a few strikers along the way.
Pulgar has been representing Flamengo since 2022. Flamengo is one of the most famous teams in South America, and Pulgar has made himself an essential member of the squad.
While Pulgar is a more expensive transfer to your fantasy football team, it’s well worth considering.
5. Lucas Moura (Sao Paulo SP)
Some accused Lucas Moura of being a one-season wonder. Sure, his appearances as a sub helped Tottenham reach the Champions League final.
However, those watching the Brasileiro Campeonato in recent times will have seen a player who continues to thrive.
In 2024, Moura was one of the league’s best midfielders. He stands among the very best for progressive carries and through balls. Moura also had the best xG of any single player in the league. Put more goals away and he’d be a sensation.
If he maintains this form in 2024, Moura will be a natural choice for your fantasy Brasileiro team.
4. Felipe Anderson (Palmeiras)
Felipe Anderson‘s transfer to Palmeiras in 2024 made sense. And it’s not only because of the midfielder’s nationality.
In many ways, Anderson’s skillful, pacey approach never fit his European teams perfectly. It does, however, work excellently in Brazil.
Anderson had a pretty good first season for Palmeiras. And as the team charges in on a campaign that it hopes will guarantee the club the title, Felipe Anderson will have to be one of the league’s finest players.
Do you trust him enough to get him on your fantasy Brasileiro football team?
3. Everton Ribeiro (Bahia)
Everton Ribeiro is, in many ways, everything that a Brasileiro team needs in their midfield. That could also mean that the player is ideal for fantasy Brasileiro football, of course.
Ribeiro will start the 2025 campaign, fresh off being the second-best player for passes in the final third (behind colleague Caio Alexandere), the second-best for through balls, and the best for progressive passes. This is clearly one of the best midfielders in South American football.
2. Philippe Coutinho (Vasco da Gama)
Countinho is the undisputed midfield star of the Campeonato. While some in Europe winced at the former Liverpool maestro’s decision to depart the continent, Brazilians were delighted.
Has he still got it? Absolutely! In fact, most would agree that Coutinho plays his best football when he is comfortable and supported. This is what he has received while playing for Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro. And it’s why Coutinho’s deal could soon become permanent.
1. Rodrigo Garro (Corinthians)
Rodrigo Garro was in 2024 the midfielder who would’ve been most useful for your fantasy football team. He had the highest number of assists in the Campeonato. He made the highest number of key passes across the season. And his stats for passes in the final third, through balls, or shot-creating actions were always among the very best.
Brasileiro fantasy football is, at the end of the day, a game of stats. And the stats are clear here – Rodrigo Garro is the best midfielder that your team can get.
