Anne Scherbakova

This charismatic midfielder dominates the pitch with intimidating aggression and lightning-fast acceleration that makes her nearly unstoppable. Though a mysterious thigh injury after being run over by an angry ostrich during a summer trip once threatened her career, she used the recovery period to turn her once-clunky first touch into a precision instrument. She reads the game masterfully, even if her lack of stamina sometimes causes her to fade when the clock ticks toward the final whistle.
