A towering wall at the back, this humble Belgian defender combines blistering recovery pace with an almost psychic ability to shut down attacks. Though a career-threatening shoulder injury from a freak bowling accident could have ended her journey, she transformed that recovery into a relentless drive for perfection. Her aerial dominance is elite, though her tendency to overcommit to daring slide tackles remains the one weakness in an otherwise impeccable game.
