Quick Take: The Olympic and Women's World Cup hero has found her form again, having scored eight goals with fourteen assists last year as she established herself as the "supersub" -- who can enter at midfield or forward and decide a match. A strong dribbler who possesses one of the hardest shots on the team, she has seen time both at striker in the 4-4-2 formation and at right midfield in the 3-4-3. Tremendously strong and fast, she has the ability to wear down defenders.
