Eva Kos

This reserved Slovenian defensive giant dominates the pitch with surgical game intelligence and a knack for winning every aerial duel, though her feet can get surprisingly clumsy with the ball at her feet. She insists on balancing a small pebble on her left kneecap for five minutes before kickoff, an eccentric habit that leads her teammates to look the other way in silent pity. Despite her bizarre ritual, she remains the absolute rock that holds the entire defense together.
