Valentin Magamedov

After shattering his wrist while arm-wrestling a bear in a Moscow tavern, this imperious center-back returned with an insatiable hunger to dominate every forward who dares cross his path. His reading of the game is flawless and his tackling surgical, though he remains notoriously lazy when it comes to turning his sluggish hips to chase a pacy winger. He is undoubtedly the best defender on the pitch, and he makes sure everyone—especially the opposition—knows it.
