I am assembling what would the "best XI" in South America for each season. Trying to form the best squad with the players that stood out the most in each year, on each position, from all the countries on the continent. Naturally, most players to make the squad would come from Brazil and Argentina, as well as Urugauy (to a lesser extent). But there can be surprises coming from other countries as well. I started out with years 1966, 1967 and 1968. BEST OF 1966 (SOUTH AMERICA): Ladislao Mazurkiewicz (PEN) Djalma Santos (PAL)__Djalma Dias (PAL)__Roberto Dias (SPA)__Silvio Marzolini (BOC) Pedro Rocha (PEN)__Wilson Piazza (CRU)__Ademir da Guia (PAL) Luis Cubilla (RIV)__Alberto Spencer (PEN)__Tostão (CRU) Other options: Manga (GK), Néstor Gonçalves (DM), Gérson (CM), Jairzinho (FW/RW), Dirceu Lopes (AM/FW), Pelé (FW), Toninho Guerreiro (CF), Daniel Onega (CF), Luis Artime (CF)
BEST OF 1967 (SOUTH AMERICA): Manga (BOT) Djalma Santos (PAL)__Roberto Perfumo (RAC)__Roberto Dias (SPA)__Silvio Marzolini (BOC) Pedro Rocha (PEN)__Wilson Piazza (CRU)__Ademir da Guia (PAL) Pedro Araya (UNI)__Luis Artime (IND)__Pelé (SAN) BEST OF 1968 (SOUTH AMERICA): Ladislao Mazurkiewicz (PEN) Carlos Alberto Torres (SAN)__Roberto Perfumo (RAC)__José Albrecht (SLO)__Oscar Malbernat (EST) Dudu (PAL)__Gérson (BOT) Jairzinho (BOT)__Pelé (SAN)__Tostão (CRU) Toninho Guerreiro (SAN) / Rodolfo Fischer (SLO)
