Vilma Nordén

This Swedish midfielder is an unstoppable force with superhuman stamina and an aggression that dominates every inch of the pitch, even if her sprint dribbling can occasionally be a bit clunky. Before every match, she insists on tying three tight knots in her laces while reciting the names of her cats, an odd ritual that leaves her teammates baffled as they watch her gear up to steamroll opponents. Her towering aerial presence and humble mentality make her the silent but ferocious engine of the team.
