Lola Melnik

A commanding physical force in midfield, she pairs blistering pace with relentless aggression to dominate the center of the pitch. After shattering her metatarsal in a freak encounter with a loose lawnmower blade, she channeled her recovery into an ironclad defensive drive that makes her impossible to bypass. Though her slide tackling remains somewhat clumsy, her tactical presence and raw strength render her an essential wall for any elite side.
