Gabi Spinola

This powerhouse Portuguese center-back dominates the pitch with blistering speed and aerial supremacy, though her frantic aggression can occasionally result in unnecessary fouls. She refuses to step onto the pitch unless she has rubbed a lucky dried sardine on her cleats, a bizarre ritual that leaves her teammates both baffled and slightly horrified. Despite the scent, her suffocating defensive precision makes her an absolute force of nature that no striker can escape.
