My Take
Jess Carter is the kind of footballer I find myself defending in conversations with people who only watch highlight reels. Centre-backs rarely trend, but her composure under pressure, her reading of the game, and her ability to slot into multiple defensive positions make her invaluable to any coach. Winning PFA Young Player of the Year in 2017 signaled the talent early, and her move to Gotham FC in the NWSL while holding her place in the England setup shows real ambition. She does the unglamorous work that wins trophies, and I respect that far more than flash.
