Yaya Roland

Having grown up with a crippling fear of heights, this fiery French midfield engine channelled his anxiety into a near-supernatural ability to read the game and stop opponents dead in their tracks. He is a relentless force on the pitch who launches himself into every duel with brutal intensity, though his heading ability leaves something to be desired once he leaves the ground. His explosive acceleration and clinical tackling precision make him a living nightmare for any attacking player.
