Tomiyo Saeki

After overcoming a childhood spent battling a rare phobia of footballs, this flamboyant center-back dominates the box with lightning-fast interceptions and imperious headers. With her exuberant personality and blazing acceleration, she turns every sliding tackle into an art form, though her modest physical strength sometimes leaves her vulnerable in shoulder-to-shoulder duels. Her visceral drive turns every recovery into a statement of pure style.
