Maelys Riou

Standing as an immovable force at 190 cm, this reserved French center-back dominates the air and ground with ruthless technical precision. After a devastating elbow dislocation from a chaotic backyard brawl almost ended her career, she channelled that pain into a relentless obsession with perfecting her defensive timing. Her explosive speed and aerial dominance are matched only by her occasional tendency to be overly aggressive when hunting down strikers.
