Ásta Hannesdóttir

This Icelandic midfield engine moves with an explosive power that leaves defenders in the dust, although her occasionally clumsy first touch can sometimes send the ball wandering. She still remembers the time during a youth match when she sprinted past an entire counter-attack only to celebrate by physically flattening a corner flag out of pure kinetic excitement after shredding the defense. With a tireless mentality and elite physique, she dominates the pitch like a force of nature.
