Mohand Joseph

This Frenchman owns the midfield with an unmatched defensive brain and a physical presence that belies his size. He once casually signed an autograph mid-tackle just to prove he could dismantle an attack with one hand tied behind his back. While he treats every duel like a throne room and his interception skills like an art form, don't ask him to win an aerial battle; he is strictly a ground-level predator.
