Alexis Sanchez (Manchester United, Chile): The forward, 30, scored only two goals for Manchester United in 2018/19 and is fast being viewed as the most expensive flop in the club's history. Has pedigree in the Copa, though, having won the last two editions with Chile. AFP
Alisson (Liverpool, Brazil): Runner-up in the Premier League and a Uefa Champions League winner's medal was just reward for a fine season between the posts for Alisson. Recorded 21 shutouts in the Premier League, one more than his main rival for the Brazil No 1 jersey, Ederson. Knows he can afford no slip-ups with such a talented gloveman breathing down his neck. AFP
Roberto Firmino (Liverpool, Brazil): Failed to hit the same goalscoring highs as in 2017/18 but Firmino can still show off a shiny gold Champions League medal for his exploits with Liverpool this campaign. Arguably the hardest working Brazilian striker of all time. AFP
Richarlison (Everton, Brazil): The forward registered 13 goals as Everton secured a top-10 Premier League finish and scored his first international goal in last week's 2-0 friendly win over Qatar. AFP
Fernandinho (Manchester City, Brazil): Few are more accomplished and as disciplined in the role of holding midfielder. Fernandinho is much more than just a destroyer, though. AFP
Willian (Chelsea, Brazil): The winger, 30, has the ability to ghost past defenders inside and out. His searing pace and eye for goal helped Chelsea to a third-place finish in the Premier League and secure the Europa League trophy. Will be a huge asset to the hosts at the Copa America. AFP
Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City, Brazil): Had to be content with a support cast role as the prolific Sergio Aguero fired Manchester City to an historic Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup treble. Jesus' 14 goals in 28 appearances for the national team is likely to give him the edge over Roberto Firmino in Brazil's attack at the Copa. EPA
Ederson (Manchester City, Brazil): Twenty clean sheets for the Brazilian in Manchester City's title-winning Premier League campaign. In direct competition with Liverpool's Alisson for the No 1 jersey. It's hard to remember a time when Brazil possessed two of the world's top goalkeepers. AFP
Salomon Rondon (West Bromwich Albion, Venezuela): The burly forward, 29, proved a shrewd loan acquisition as Newcastle United secured another season of Premier League football. Far from prolific, but Rondon's 11 goals and constant bullying of opposition defenders proved just the tonic in Newcastle's survival bid. With 22 goals, Rondon is his country's second top goalscorer, one behind Juan Arango. AFP
Juan Foyth (Tottenham Hotspur, Argentina): A mixed season at club level with Tottenham Hotspur. While the 21-year-old defender's powers of recovery and anticipation were a plus, his decision making was poor in some games. Was shown a straight red card in Spurs' penultimate game of the Premier League campaign just over a minute after coming on at half time with the North London club already a man down. Should add to his two Argentina caps at the Copa, but manager Lionel Scaloni will need to see signs Foyth can keep his emotions in check in pressure situations. AFP
Roberto Pereyra (Watford, Argentina): Pereyra was part of the Watford team that reached the 2019 FA Cup final, and had a chance to open the scoring before Manchester City seized control to win the final 6-0. With the likes of Leandro Paredes, Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala all vying for a creative midfield role, 28-year-old midfielder will find first-team chances hard to come by in Brazil. Reuters
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City, Argentina): A goal-machine for both club and country after once again breaking the 30-goal barrier as Manchester City swept all before them to clinch an historic English treble. The 31-year-old striker's 39 goals in 90 Argentina appearances have come often at the expense of being second choice, and of course taking a backseat to Lionel Messi. One of the deadliest finishers in world football, Aguero possesses the goal power to end Argentina's international trophy drought that stretches back to their last Copa America success in 1993. Reuters
Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City, Argentina): Has fallen way down the pecking order at Manchester City, reduced to a bit-part role as Pep Guardiola's side secured an unprecedented English treble of Premier League and both domestic cups. At 31 and with 59 caps, centre-back Otamendi is one of the more senior members of Lionel Scaloni's Argetina squad. Reuters
Yerry Mina (Everton, Colombia): Excelled at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia, earning him a big-money move to the Premier League with Everton last summer. Struggled to get to grips with life in England, but can form a potent defensive rearguard alongside Davinson Sanchez at the heart of Colombia's defence. Reuters
David Ospina (Arsenal, Colombia): The goalkeeper, 30, spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Napoli, registering 17 appearances. Has 95 caps for his country, and Colombia will need all that experience if they are to win a first Copa America since 2001. AFP
Jefferson Lima, right (Bournemouth, Colombia): The tough tackling midfielder has 10 international caps and his athleticism is a huge asset. Reuters
Davinson Sanchez (Tottenham Hotspur, Colombia): The 23-year-old centre-back found himself relegated to a supporting role as Tottenham reached the Uefa Champions League final, ultimately losing to Liverpool 2-0 in the Madrid final. Has failed to replicate his outstanding form in his first season in England in 2017, but his pace and power make him a formidable opponent for strikers to navigate round. Reuters
Fabian Balbuena (West Ham United, Paraguay): The defender, 27, proved a solid acquisition alongside Issa Diop as West Ham secured a 10th-placed Premier League finish. Balbuena will need to be at his best if Paraguay are to shut out Group B rivals Argentina and Colombia. Qatar are the other team in Paraguay's group. Reuters
Miguel Almiron (Newcastle United, Paraguay): Joined the Premier League midway through the 2018/19 season after moving from Atlanta United to Newcastle United for a reported club fee of £21 million. The 25-year-old brought an energy and creative force to Rafa Benitez's staid side to help them comfortably avoid relegation. AFP
Lucas Torreira (Arsenal, Uruguay): The no-nonsense midfielder left a favourable impression on the Premier League after joining Arsenal from Sampdoria last summer. Smooth, intricate passing keeps the midfield engine running and never afraid to get stuck into a tackle. AFP
Antonio Valencia (Manchester United, Ecuador): The versatile 33-year-old is closing in on 100 caps for his country. Endured a poor season at Manchester United where he was sidelined through much of 2018/19 by injury and loss of form. Reuters
Shinji Okazaki (Leicester City, Japan): The 33-year-old striker was instrumental in helping Leicester win the 2016 Premier League title but has largely fallen by the way side since. A tireless workhorse who is most likely to play a bit-part role in Brazil. Japan are one of two invited teams at this year's Copa America, alongside Qatar. AFP
