Nearly half of the WSL’s most valuable XI is made up of Chelsea stars, with Magda Eriksson, Guro Reiten, Pernille Harder, Fran Kirby and Sam Kerr all featuring.

Given the Blues have won the WSL for the past three seasons, it is easy to see why their players are among the most valuable in England. Kerr’s astonishing goal-scoring record makes it no surprise that she is the joint most valuable player.

She is joined by Vivianne Miedema, who is the all-time top goalscorer in the WSL. Arsenal are also represented by Manu Zinsberger, Leah Williamson and
