Djekonde Thiam

After overcoming a childhood of being picked last for matches due to his poor vertical leap, this charismatic Senegalese wing-back turned his frustration into blistering acceleration and a supernatural ability to read and intercept passes. With razor-sharp defensive instincts, he is a nightmare for wingers on the deck, though he remains a massive liability in the air whenever the ball loops over his head. While his stamina is underwhelming, his elite positioning makes every tackle a masterclass in pure intuition.
