Younes Morin

This French center-back is an impenetrable wall who pairs elite speed with humble, technical footwork, though his reluctance to slide into a tackle can occasionally leave him exposed in heavy challenges. Legend has it that as a child, he was so mesmerized by a crab's sidestep on the beach that he spent hours mirroring the motion, a technique that now leaves attackers with absolutely no exit route. With exceptional defensive IQ, he neutralizes danger with surgical precision before the opposition even realizes they have lost the ball.
