Javi Melo

Fuelled by the memory of losing his childhood dog to a runaway delivery truck, this relentless Argentine fullback channels that frantic pace into unmatched recovery sprints and punishing slide tackles. He dominates the aerial game with fearless leaps and clinical headers, though his defensive positioning occasionally lets him down when his aggression gets the better of him. A lightning-quick blur on the wing, he plays every match like he is chasing down the impossible.
