Fabian Pesce

Having once been laughed off the pitch for being unable to jump to contest a high cross, this calm Uruguayan fullback turned that humiliation into a fuel that sharpened his tireless lungs and masterclass defensive instincts. He glides across the wing with explosive pace and clinical jockeying, though his opponents know a lofted ball into the box remains the one way to catch him out. He covers every inch of the grass with an unwavering focus that compensates for his lack of aerial dominance.
