Tony Melgarejo

This ruthless Argentine defensive midfielder dominates the middle of the park with raw power and unstoppable aerial presence. After overcoming a severe bicep injury suffered when he punched through a wall, he channeled his pent-up aggression into becoming an immovable defensive force, despite his clumsy slide-tackle technique. Quiet off the pitch, he masks his shortcomings in lateral jockeying with inexhaustible stamina.
