José Manuel 'Flaco' López was released by Independiente as a teenager after a back injury, then rebuilt his career at Lanús via a loan in the regional league of Tres Arroyos. His goals earned a move to Palmeiras in 2022, where he won back-to-back Brasileirão titles and became the 2025 Copa Libertadores top scorer and a South American Team of the Year pick. The tall striker earns a fairytale first World Cup call-up.
- Released by Independiente as a youth before rebuilding his career
