Pål Holst

This unflappable Swedish commander is a force of nature in the air, pairing towering aerial dominance with slide tackles so precise they could surgically extract a wallet from a sprinting striker. Once, during a youth tournament in freezing weather, he was so calm that he stopped a counterattack just to retrieve a lost ball boy's scarf before delivering a perfect long pass. While he effortlessly mows down opponents with raw strength, his casual lack of urgency sometimes sees him lazily miscalculating a simple pass into the sidelines.
