Elisabeth Sama

Towering over the midfield at 186cm and 90kg, this flamboyant Senegalese force uses her explosive jumping and brute strength to dismantle attacks, even if her headers often sail into the rafters. She famously once arrived at a vital match wearing a sequined cape over her kit, only to bench-press a teammate during pre-game warmups to set the tone. Her defensive dominance is absolute, though her pace leaves her occasionally looking like she is running through deep sand.
