Manmeer!’s Top 5 of 2022

 

 

 

Top 5 - TPA'22 Female

Musselman540x540

1. Maddie Musselman (USA)

United States National Team Player. Club: UCLA. Position: Wing

Team USA is a well-oiled machine for years now and sets the standard to which every other country wants to grow. Of all those American top players, Musselman was the very best in 2022. Scored five goals in the World Cup final.
Johnson540x540

2. Ashleigh Johnson (USA)

United States National Team Player.Club: Ethnikos. Position: Goalkeeper

Undeniably the player who can make the difference for Team USA. If she takes her position in the goal with her enormous jumping power and reach, it can go two ways: either she stops the ball or she forces the opponent to shoot a little sharper than usual. Often too sharp, so that the ball still misses the target.
Espar540x540

3. Anni Espar (ESP)

Spain National Team Player. Club: Mataro. Position: Driver

It's always a pleasure to watch Espar play. Dynamic with always an eye for the goal. Led Spain to the gold medal at the European Championship in Split.
Keszthelyi540x540

4. Rita Keszthelyi (HUN)

Hungary National Team Player. Club: Mataro. Position: Driver

Keszthelyi still deserves a spot in the top 5. Hungary's most consistent player in recent years. She always delivers and is the linchpin of the team that won silver at the World Cup in her home country.
Moolhuijzen540x540

5. Lola Moolhuijzen (NED)

Netherlands National Team Player. Club: Polar Bears Position: Wing

Despite her young age, she was already one of the leading players for The Netherlands at the World Cup in Budapest (bronze). She was only 17 years old at the time! Then you are already a very big one and her future will only look brighter.

Top 5 - TPA'22 Male

Bijac540x540

1. Marko Bijac (CRO)

Netherlands National Team Player. Club: Olympiacos Position: Goalkeeper

The best goalkeeper at the moment. Won gold at the European Championship in his own country in front of a frenzied audience. It can hardly get any better for a passionate sportsman like Bijac. Was the best player at that tournament.
Granados540x540

2. Alvaro Granados (ESP)

Spain National Team Player. Club: Novi Beograd. Position: Driver

Fast, sharp, deadly and phlegmatic. Had a wonderful year with a gold medal at the world championships and bronze medal at the European Championships. He excelled at both tournaments. His six goals in the World Cup final were the absolute highlight.
Zalanki540x540

3. Gergo Zalanki (HUN)

Hungary National Team Player. Club: Pro Recco. Position: Wing

Left handers always bring something extra. Zalanki is one of them. Creative and a fantastic shot. If his left arm is on fire, you know Hungary will win.
Vernoux540x540

4. Thomas Vernoux (FRA)

France National Team Player. Club: Marseille. Position: Centre-forward

Still young, but already the absolute superstar of France. The crucial player of the best France in history. Strong in every position. With his sculpted body, he is the 'poster boy' of the French at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
Kakaris540x540

5. Konstantinos Kakaris (GRE)

Greece National Team Player. Club: Jug AO. Position: Centre-forward

Another relatively young player. If you see him outside the pool, his stature is already impressive. In the water, he knows how to use his strength and length optimally and spins every opponent dizzy at the centre forward position. Is a crucial factor for Greece that has a chance to win medals at every tournament. Won bronze at the World Cup.
