Mats Ekstrand

This fiery Swedish wall combines relentless engine and defensive genius with a sudden, wild explosiveness that shuts down any attack. He insists on peeling and eating exactly one lukewarm boiled potato before every match to channel 'earthly focus,' a ritual that leaves his teammates both baffled and slightly disturbed. While his sliding tackles can occasionally be rash, his suffocating aerial presence makes him a nightmare for any striker.
