Anton Mercieca

After overcoming a paralyzing fear of high-speed balls in his youth, this Maltese wingback has become an unstoppable force whose blistering speed and endless stamina strike terror into opposing wingers. With bewildering defensive composure, he owns the flank and commands the air, even if his actual vertical jump occasionally leaves him wanting. His Olympic calm masks an explosive aggression that turns every challenge into a surgically precise sliding tackle.
