3. Paulo Guerrero (Peru)
Peru is competing in the World Cup for the first time since 1982. La Blanquirroja’s captain almost missed the trip to Russia due to a cocaine ban.
But the ban was reduced to six months which made him eligible for the World Cup.
Guerrero is a leader on the pitch. His strength in the air and set-piece taking ability will be vital for his country.
The Peru captain is an all-time leading goalscorer for his nation. Expect him to combine well with Farfán to make the most of their adventure in Russia.
