Samira Ben Youssef

This imposing Tunisian defender dominates the box with surgical positioning and slide tackles that drive strikers mad, even if her lack of top-end speed is almost comical. Her cockiness knows no bounds; she once halted a dangerous counter-attack simply to tie her laces with Olympic-level nonchalance while the striker watched in disbelief. When she is on the pitch, she sets the rules with the brash confidence of someone who knows that getting past her is essentially impossible.
