36: Kadeisha Buchanan

Kadeisha Buchanan has always been one of the most promising defenders around since breaking into the Canada national team as a youngster, but Lyon’s centre-back pairing of Wendie Renard and Griedge Mbock hasn’t always allowed her to show her talent at club level. The fact Lyon signed her at all shows how much quality she has and in Mbock’s absence Buchanan has really stepped up to the plate, forming a solid partnership alongside Renard as Lyon marched to another treble, culminating in an impressive performance against Wolfsburg in the final. At just 24, she earned her 100th international cap at the start of the year, an incredible achievement in itself.
