By Alan Duffy In this weekas release of the Piesa Premier League XI, weare off to house of sun, mud, transsexual prostitutes and samba soccer. There actually arenat all that lots of Brazilians have made the proceed to the top tier in English football during the Premier League years, with just 51 altogether playing in the division and only some actually successful over here. Apparently, while the Brazilians are distinguished for their attacking flair, not many attackers from the South American country have succeeded in England a with hard-working hod-carrier midfielders and fingernails defenders flourishing much more regularly. Anyway, have a look and let's know what you think! GK: Julio Cesar a' Usually the truth that Julio Cesar hasnat actually got one full Premier League period under his belt could exclude him using this lift. But, with the terribly irregular Heurelho Gomes the only real other Brazilian akeeper in the operating, the QPR star takes the main jersey. And to be reasonable, his shows this year with the struggling Hoops have already been remarkable. RB: Rafael a' Very few quality right-backs to select from here, but Manchester Unitedas Rafael is a worthy member of the XI regardless, with the defender learning to be a essential installation in Fergieas latest edition of his swashbuckling United part. Strike oriented but with all the qualities of a defensive player, the 22-year-old twin brother of Fabio has already won a couple of Premier League games, a Cup winners-medal and a Club World Cup medal with the Red Devils. CB: Emerson Thome -AThe strapping, tough-tackling centre-half gets the nod before Chelseaas David Luiz (only) after creating 152 Premier League appearances, the second-highest for a Brazilian person. AFirst stumbled on the Premier League in 1998 with Sheffield Wednesday, quickly being a fans preferred. Moved to Chelsea but failed to settle before maneuvering to Sunderland and then Bolton. He served the Trotters to an finish in the league and a League Cup final look before moving to Wigan and helping them obtain promotion to the top level. CB: Alex a' Yet another ex-Chelsea man lines up at the heart of defence, now in the sophisticated type of Alex. The opponent moved to Stamford Bridge in 2004 and eventually picked up a Premier League winnersa medal and a couple of FA Cup successes also. Boasting a bomb of a shot, Alex found his time with the Blues blighted by injury, but the defense was a vital performer for the west Londoners, whether integrating John Terry or Ricard Carvalho, netting some stunning goals along with way. LB:Silvinho a' A very skilled full-back with all the current technical gift ideas youad expect from a, Silvinho moved to Arsenal from Corinthians in 1999. Earned to restore the ageing Nigel Winterburn, the Brazilian fascinated instantly and netted some stunning goals. However, the emergence of Ashley Cole lowered Silvinhoas Arsenal stay and he left for Celta Vigo after only two times at Highbury a' although rumours abound that dilemmas over a dodgy passport were the real reason behind his speedy exit to Spain. However, a cracking full-back and rather much better than, erm, Andre Santos. CMF: Gilberto a Fresh from winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, where he was excellent in a holding midfield role, Gilberto moved to Arsenal and quickly flourished in the Premier League. The aInvisible Walla offered the perfect foil for the box-to-box all-action Patrick Vieira, helping he Gunners with their popular aInvinciblea name success in 2003/04 as well as two FA Cup triumphs. Also in a position to play in central defence, Gilberto was in the course of time ousted by Mathieu Flamini and spent a lot of 2007/08 on the seat. Left England at the end of this time having made an archive (for a 170 Premier League performances. CMF: Ramires a' Since moving to Stamford Bridge this year from Benfica, Ramires has been ones of the Bluesa most consistent performers. An archetypal all-action box-to-box player, he combines smooth dribbling skills with tough-tackling correctly while he is also a potent goal-threat for the west Londoners. Comfortable playing in virtually any role across the midfield, the 25-year-old never stops running and already comes with an FA Cup win and a Champions League champions honor under his belt since going to England. CMF: Edu a' Getting into ahead of Liverpoolas Lucas Leiva,AEduardo CAsar Daude Gaspar was an integral member of the Gunnersa Invincibles team. Moved to north London in 2001 after much faffing over a phony Portuguese passport, the 6a1a midfielder initially struggled to force his way into the Arsenal part, with accidents limiting his playing time. However, he would go on to produce 79 Premier League performances for the north Londoners, helping them to that particular famous 2003/04 group success. Whilst never a real first-choice person, Edu outstanding technical ability (a magnificent left-foot) joined with a robust physical presence made him a perfect companion to Patrick Vieira or Gilberto in the heart of the park. Also chipped in with several cracking goals for the Gunners too before eventually making for Valencia in 2005. RMF: Juninho a' The unquestionable jewel in the top of the Brazilian XI, Juninho was a suitable charisma signing when he moved to Middlesbrough in 1995 from Sao Paulo. He instantly became a aBoro story as a result of his down-to-earth personality and his world-class dribbling capabilities. Lit up the Premier League in the Teesidersa first season in the Premier League but couldnat help them avoid relegation these season. Left forAAtlAtico Madrid in order to keep his dreams of a location in Brazilas world Cup Finals team, he was eventually credited right back to aBoro wherever he played 24 games before leaving again. But, the pint-sized schemer would reunite yet again, in 2004, helping the team to the 2004 League Cup. A genuine Teeside legend, both on and off the message. LMF: Elano a' A rather under-rated person, midfielder Elano moved to Manchester City from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2007 for a price of A8million. Comfortable anywhere throughout the midfield (and whilst a, his outstanding activities were peppered with some superb long-range goals. Played under bothASven-GAran Eriksson and Mark Hughes at City, his final period saw him link up properly with new-signing Robinho. But, by the end of the 2008/09 plan, after falling out in clumps of favor, Elano left the Premier League for Galatasaray. However a good player in his amount of time in England, accumulating 62 group games and 14 goals. CF: Geovanni a' The hardest position to fill out this XI, hardly any Brazilian strikers have impressed in the Premier League. But, midfielder/forward Geovanni gets the nod ahead of the name of Robinho due to his impressive displays for Hull City which saw him results a number of cracking objectives. The former Barcelona player found England in 2007, paying an irregular period with Manchester City before moving to the Tigers the following summer. In his first season with Hull, he finished the plan because the clubas top-scorer, netting wonder-goals against both Arsenal and Spurs and supporting relegation to be avoided by the Tigers. Satisfied again these season but couldnat end his side being directed. Appropriately left for MLS motion but will always be remembered for bringing a brief-but-glorious scattering of Samba wonder to Yorkshire. Subs: Heurelho Gomes, Mark Luiz, Sandro, Lucas Leiva, Emerson, Oscar, Robinho So what do you consider a does Liverpool ball-winner Lucas Leiva deserve a starting place? Or perhaps Robinho?
