70: Ashley Lawrence

Versatile Canadian defender Ashley Lawrence returns to the list after two years just outside the top 100, and deservedly so. Once such a promising youngster, the 25-year-old is now a mainstay and key performer for both PSG and Canada. Whether it’s at right-back, left-back or centre-back, where she’s already played all three for PSG in recent games, Lawrence continues to shine. Five goals from full-back this year puts her up there with the highest in Europe and her all energy play sees her up there for the most ball recoveries too. Her pace and passing ability make her the perfect modern day full-back.
