Aita Fofana

After clawing her way back from a dramatic thigh injury sustained during an intense encounter with a hungry kangaroo, this Senegalese midfield general has evolved into an unstoppable wall. Her unflappable calm is matched by brutal physicality and tackles that shake the earth, even if her decision-making sometimes falters when the pace hits its peak. She dominates the air and radiates a silent authority that makes her the natural sovereign of the midfield.
