Nelli Sidorenko

This Belarusian midfielder dominates the pitch with a lethal blend of cool composure and visceral aggression, even if her sprint dribbling occasionally lets her down. Before every match, she methodically aligns seven sugar cubes in the locker room, forcing teammates to sheepishly walk around the 'sugar altar' with a mix of confusion and reverence. Her explosive athletic frame makes her an imposing force in the air and a dominant presence in every tackle.
