11: Saki Kumagai

Saki Kumagai moves up to the verge of the top 10 and actually scored the same points as our tenth placed player, showing just how appreciated and noted her performances in 2020 have been. Kumagai is simply an incredible player and while she is one of the top passers anywhere in the world, her work shielding a defence is vital to her team. Whether it’s interceptions, duels, recoveries or her pass completion, Kumagai quite frankly ranks highly for just about everything, and her performance in the Champions League final was a joy to behold. Kumagai was everywhere as she helped Lyon win yet another title, her superb finish from the edge of the box just the cherry on top of the cake for one of Asia’s greatest.
