Mehdi Lavergne

After spending his childhood allergic to the very grass he now dominates, this relentless French midfielder channels his frustrations into world-class slide tackles and lightning-quick recoveries. He dictates the pitch with assertive intelligence, consistently reading play to snuff out attacks before they ignite. While he occasionally lets his aggression boil over in high-stakes duels, his unparalleled pace and technical mastery make him an indispensable defensive wall.
