13: Debinha

Debinha is yet another player who comes in at her highest ranking and once more it’s no surprise when you take her quality of performance into account. The heir to Marta’s reign? At 29, the Brazilian is already massively experienced but is the player talking over as Brazil’s key creative influence. She enjoyed a solid Challenge Cup before going on to score four goals in two games during the Fall Series, firing more shots on target than any other player and only a few others created more chances for her team mates than Debinha. Insanely skilful and vision few others are lucky to have, Debinha also has four goals in her last couple of national team games. The last couple of years’ worth of performances have certainly put Debinha right in the middle of the discussion when it comes to best players in the world.
