Lea Palmeira

Towering over attackers, this formidable Portuguese defender turns her childhood struggle with chronic clumsiness into a relentless engine of elite stamina and iron-willed blocking. While her aerial dominance and physical aggression make her a brick wall, she still occasionally over-commits during high-speed tackles. She leads the backline with a friendly smile, masking a predatory intensity that ensures no opponent leaves the pitch unscathed.
