Anton Aliev

Despite growing up terrified of loud noises after a firework factory accident, he channeled that trauma into a ruthless, assertive dominance on the pitch, combining elite heading ability and velvety first touches with a frustrating lack of stamina. He dictates the midfield rhythm with confident dribbling, though his glacial sprint speed often leaves him struggling to track back. When the cross arrives, he attacks the ball with a terrifying, singular focus that makes his lack of natural leaping reach irrelevant.
