Janina Pavlova

This relentless Latvian attacking midfielder electrifies the pitch with explosive pace and dazzling footwork, even if her occasional lack of balance sees her toppling over after a highlight-reel play. To focus, she insists that her teammates pelt her with corn kernels before kickoff, an absurd ritual that has her squad casually playing amongst scattered popcorn. Her fierce mentality and high attacking IQ make her a constant nightmare for any defense.
