98: Cristiane

One of the oldest players in our list and a drop from last year, but the 35-year-old is still performing at the highest level back home in Brazil. Cristiane started her year with a move back to Santos, the club where she enjoyed two brilliant seasons a decade ago, after spending 2019 with Sao Paulo. In nine starts during the Campeonato Brasileiro regular season, Cristiane scored five goals and assisted several more in a dynamic attack alongside Larissa and Ketlen. Cristiane also continued to represent Brazil, featuring in all three Tournoi de France matches before the international calendar was curtailed.
