Patty Fantoni

This lightning-fast Italian fullback dominates the flank with unmatched aerial prowess and ferocious physicality, though her defensive instincts occasionally leave her exposed. Before every whistle, she insists on braiding her left sock to ward off bad luck, a quirk that leaves her teammates both bewildered and thoroughly amused. She is a relentless force on the pitch who plays with the heart of a champion and a uniquely endearing intensity.
