Petra Somers

This commanding Belgian midfield maestro dictates the pitch with supreme defensive intelligence and a take-charge attitude, even if her technique can sometimes be marred by clumsy over-commitment. After overcoming a freakish big toe shatter caused by stepping on a stray building block, she channeled that frustration into an obsessive drive that sharpened her elite intercepting and blocking prowess. While her acceleration is far from lightning, she dominates space through superior positioning and aerial aerial presence, forming an impenetrable barrier in front of the backline.
