Joseph Conceição

A defensive titan with the aerial presence of a skyscraper, this fiery Brazilian centre-back combines elite athleticism with an unmatched tactical hunger. Once, after arguing a goal line clearance with a referee for ten minutes, he famously vaulted an eight-foot stadium fence during a warm-up just to chase down a stray ball for a fan. Though his reckless streak occasionally results in uncalculated blocks, his lightning recovery speed makes him a nightmare for any striker attempting a breakaway.
