Given Palmeiras' current form, where should Andreas Pereira play? Vote! | OneFootball

Andreas Pereira was the last signing of Palmeiras in this transfer window. Signed from Fulham, England, the player not only comes to replace the departure of Richard Ríos, sold to Benfica, but also becomes an important reinforcement for the midfield of coach Abel Ferreira's team.

While Ríos plays the classic role of a number 8, Andreas has characteristics closer to a number 10, with an offensive and playmaker profile. Even so, he can play as a central midfielder, work on plays starting from the wing to the center, or even take on the role of a second defensive midfielder with playmaking abilities.

With this versatility, the midfielder emerges as an alternative to Raphael Veiga and Maurício, other players in the sector.

Veiga is not having a good season with Palmeiras. In the Brazilian Championship, for example, the midfielder played only ten games, starting in four, did not score any goals, and provided one assist.

Additionally, the player has been dealing with injuries in 2025 and missed the last six games for Verdão due to pain in the pubic region.

With the poor form of number 23, Maurício took over the starting position in Palmeiras' midfield and responded with ten goals and seven assists in 33 games. However, since Abel Ferreira adopted the 4-4-2 formation, the player’s performance has declined.

In the five games played with the new system, Mauricio had to be repositioned, played wide on the right side, and contributed with only one assist.

In this way, what do you believe is the best position for Andreas Pereira to play? Vote!
