Atelano Lopes

This assertive Cape Verdean titan dominates the box with gravity-defying leaps and a towering frame that turns every cross into his own private playground. He is a defensive wall with unmatched instinct, though he once tore an opposing striker's jersey to shreds at halftime after a heated argument about a disputed hair product. While he possesses world-class reading of the game, his reckless arrogance leads him to occasionally dribble past his own keeper just to prove a point.
