Irena Lenaerts

This cocky Belgian center-back dominates the box with gravity-defying leaps and iron-willed tackles, having transformed her game entirely after a freak arm-wrestling accident sidelined her for a season. Her arrogant control of the pitch is matched only by her relentless intensity, though she occasionally relies so much on aggression that her recovery runs look laughably erratic. She is an undeniable force of nature, using that previous injury as fuel to cement her status as the most imposing wall in the league.
