Arto Nurmi

Towering over the opposition, this Finnish defensive maestro glides through matches with a brilliant tactical IQ and surgical interception skills. He treats strikers with a gentle, friendly demeanor, consistently neutralizing attacks with flawless jockeying rather than brute force. While his grounded playstyle relies on intelligence, his limited vertical leap and fading energy reserves late in games are the only gaps in his command of the backline.
