Mechyslav Tarasenko

This Ukrainian center-back dominates the air with explosive athleticism, though his clumsy slide tackling often leaves his teammates in a state of panic. Before kickoff, he ritualistically arranges his boots by color while whispering to them, a quirk that forces the entire locker room to tip-toe around him to protect his focus. Fueled by ferocious intensity and brilliant defensive intelligence, he is an unrelenting force on the pitch.
