WSL Fantasy | Spurs Gameweek 1 Preview

We have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout to help bring you hints, tips and advice during the WSL Fantasy 2026/27 season.

Scout will be using their expertise to provide advice and gameweek tips, which should prove useful in ensuring you win your mini-leagues.

WSL Fantasy Launches

Much like in the Premier League’s FPL game, WSL Fantasy managers will need to pick a 15-player squad with a budget of £100m, but there is a twist in that the pool of players will come from both the WSL and WSL 2.

Managers are allowed to own a maximum of three players per club, with the only major difference being that managers will receive two free transfers every week, unlike in FPL where there is only one. 

Also, while most fantasy games see teams locked before fixtures begin, in this game, once the gameweek begins, you have the ability to switch your captain to a player who has not yet kicked off, and while the prices of players can fluctuate throughout the season, when transferring a player out, you will always be able to sell them for exactly what they were paid for.

That way nobody gets left behind for joining late or missing a price increase.

Best of Spurs

This season, our Women’s First Team are looking to continue the progress shown in a hugely impressive debut season with manager Martin Ho in 2025/26, where we set a new club record WSL points tally (36), so owning the maximum three players from our ranks could be a great option for managers looking to start the season on a high.

New recruit Kirsty Hanson (£8.0m) was the third-top goalscorer in the WSL last season, behind Manchester City's Bunny Shaw and Arsenal's Alessia Russo, so she would make a great investment for managers to start the campaign.

Kirsty is currently our most popular player with WSL managers, following on from a campaign where she scored 12 league goals for her previous club Aston Villa.

Midfielder Olivia Holdt (£7.5m) is a differential in the game as she is only actually owned by five per cent of managers despite a standout campaign with eight goals and three assists last season.

Oli would have registered 118 points in the game last season, and would have been our top-scoring player.  

Signe Gaupset (£6.0m) is another of our midfielders likely to be popular with WSL managers. Signe scored three goals and registered an assist in the league after she joined in January.

Like Oli, Signe is a good differential with an ownership of just 4% and offers a cheaper price point for managers struggling with the £100m budget.

Spotlight: Ella Morris (£4.5m)

Ella missed a lot of the 2025/26 season whilst recovering from an ACL injury, returning in our Women’s FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea in early April, before going on to make a further three appearances in the WSL.

In those three starts, she would have registered 17 points in this season’s game, an average of 5.7 points per appearance, which would put her eighth best across all the defenders in the game.

Ella is priced at just £4.5m in WSL Fantasy, offering a cheaper route in our defence, where Amanda Nilden (£5.0m) is priced £0.5m higher at £5.0m. Toko Koga (£5.5m) and new signing Alice Sombath (£5.5m) are a full £1.0m more expensive.

Hidden Gem

Looking at the WSL and WSL 2 as a whole, Scout have identified Bristol City’s Rio Hardy (£8.0m) as an option that could help you get the edge over other managers.

Selected by just two per cent of players so far, Hardy had her best-ever WSL 2 campaign last season, scoring 10 goals and registering an assist in 18 starts.

With fellow attacker Lexi Lloyd-Smith leaving the club this summer, this could be a good opportunity to own Hardy in WSL Fantasy as she leads the line for Bristol City.
