Josephine Bäckman

This assertive Swedish winger leaves defenders in the dust with blistering acceleration and silky-smooth touches, though her chaotic, predictable dribbling often baffles her own teammates. Before every match, she religiously aligns her shinguards with a compass to face magnetic north, a quirk her squad has learned to tolerate with a mix of amusement and annoyance. Her lethal speed and confident aura make her a force on the pitch, provided she finishes her ritual first.
