Palesa Hendricks

This charismatic South African wing-back commands the flank with elite defensive IQ and bottomless stamina, though her lack of aggression makes her too soft in physical duels. To focus before kick-off, she insists her teammates help her balance exactly seven stones in the locker room, a quirk they meet with amused, resigned sighs. She is a defensive fortress whose superior acceleration and pristine tackling make her a near-impossible player to bypass.
