Joop Jacobs

This Dutch midfielder dominates the pitch with brutal strength and an even larger ego, having turned the recovery from a devastating shoulder injury, sustained while cliff-jumping, into the driving force of his obsession with perfection. While his elegance in tight spaces occasionally falters, he is an unstoppable titan in the air who feeds off the fear of his opponents. He is cocky, he is relentless, and above all, he knows there is no one better on the pitch than him.
