Delano Timmermans

This Dutch center-back dominates the box with striking serenity and surgical precision in his tackles, even though his top-end speed on long runs remains his great achilles heel. As a quirk, he was once reprimanded in training for pulling out his favorite tactics book to read calmly right after executing a perfect sliding tackle. His exceptional defensive IQ allows him to anticipate plays before they happen, compensating for his lack of acceleration with elite positioning.
