Yukari Kinga

The World Cup winner, 100-cap Japanese international and former Arsenal star has done it all in world football and will now bring her entire wealth of experience back into Melbourne City.

The Melburnians will be relying on the 35 year-old's incredible influence to launch another tilt at the Championship following a substantial drop-off last season under Rado Vidosic.

But while the side (and this list) are heavily stocked with attackers, it's fitting that Kinga will play a key role from the back this season.

We have one of the most pedigreed attacking lineups in W-League history this season and we're expecting a lot of goals, so players like Kinga will be absolutely key to keeping them out at the other end.

She's also won a casual 26 trophies and counting so far in her career, so we reckon she might bring a winning mentality as well.
