Monique Neris

This 1.90m Brazilian center-back is an impenetrable wall who uses her unparalleled jockeying ability to disarm strikers before they can even think to shoot. After being cast out of childhood teams due to a strange phobia of artificial grass, she channelled all that frustration into training her interceptions and leaping reach, becoming an elite aerial defender. Although her stamina requires extra management, she compensates with a fiery mentality and surgical tackling precision that keep any attack under constant pressure.
