a lot of the players who go to have absolutely a low amount of caps than you would think based on talent
Willain has 4
Fernandinho has 5
the shakhtar players seem to be punished the most but also
Hulk has 28 but he didn't get his first cap until he was 24 when Dunga was gone
Luis Gustavo has 16 but wasn't capped until he was at Bayern when he was 24

A lot of that probably has to do with travel distance too. When Brazil play friendlies in SA they usually use South American based players, the same is typically true of European fixtures, especially considering that outside of the Confederations Cup Brazil hasnt played a competitive match in years.
