Kulwinder Atherton

This humble English defensive anchor is a force of nature who dominates the air and ruthlessly wins every duel, even if her ability to strike a ball with her head is laughably poor. She became a local legend after slide-tackling an intrusive garden gnome during a youth match, an intensity she now channels to erase opposing attacks. With tireless physicality, she locks down the midfield with an unflappable, quiet focus.
