Aaron Whelan

This assertive Irish wingback dominates the flank with explosive pace and an impeccable defensive IQ, though his occasional over-eagerness can lead to some clunky sliding tackles. Legend has it he once intercepted an opposing center-back before the opening whistle had even blown, simply because he was bored waiting for the match to start. Possessing a ferocious engine and elite tactical awareness, he is an indefatigable wall who turns every challenge into a personal vendetta.
