Fantasy football has arrived to the BWSL2 and with that, comes big decisions and some even bigger price tags. Here, we break down the most expensive players in each position, why their stellar form grants them that cost and why you should choose them.
Goalkeepers
£5m Noa Schumacher - Sunderland
Schumacher is a new face in the north east, arriving from a two year stint in Scotland from Hibernian. Her impressive 2025/26 season saw her keep 12 clean sheets across 32 appearances, an ever so important feat for goalkeepers to rack up the points.
£5m Frances Stenson - Sunderland
Also making the move to Sunderland, Stenson was one of the BWSL2’s most reliable goalkeepers last season playing for Southampton, she started all 22 games and kept six clean sheets. A reliable goalkeeper who will wrack up the minutes warrants such a price tag.
£5m Fran Bentley - Bristol City
Bentley kept five clean sheets in 19 BWSL2 appearances last season, while accumulating over 1700 minutes of playing time, her reliability underlines why she is among the premium options.
£5m Anna Tamminen - Newcastle
Tamminen kept four clean sheets in 14 league appearances after arriving at Newcastle midway through last season’s campaign, including a crucial penalty save in the Tyne-Wear derby on her debut for the Magpies.
£5m Emily Batty - Forest
Batty was one of Forest's mainstays last season, playing 1,980 minutes and keeping five clean sheets, making her one of the safest £5m goalkeeper picks.
Defenders
£6.5m Madison McComasky - Durham
McComasky’s versatility in playing anywhere across Durham’s backline will be vital ahead of a tough and long season. Her consistency will be key, arriving in the BWSL2 off the back of a standout campaign in America’s USL Super League, in which she was featured in the November team of the month.
£6m Tara Bourne - Sunderland
Another player making the trip from Southampton to Sunderland, Bourne’s 21 starts for the south coast side last season saw her score twice and add four assists. She is one of the most reliable attacking defenders in BWSL2, making her pricepoint valid in what is sure to be a points-heavy season.
£5.5m Gemma Lawley - Bristol City
Lawley’s extensive experience in the BWSL2 with Birmingham City makes her an extremely dependable defensive option at the back. For Bristol City, the defender scored two goals and bagged two assists last term, making an appearance in 21 of their 22 matches, starting 19 of them.
£5.5m Amy Goddard - Southampton
Goddard brings significant experience having spent two seasons as a key part of Sunderland’s defense before joining Southampton last season and scoring on her opening day debut for Saints.
£5.5m Megan Collett - Southampton
Collett is a mainstay of Southampton’s back line, having started 19 of her 21 appearances last season. Her defensive contributions add to her goal creating ability. She scored twice and added two assists last season, making her an appealing attacking-return option at the back.
Midfielders
£8m Atlanta Primus - Sunderland
Sunderland’s new signing Atlanta Primus is the BWSL2’s most expensive midfield option at £8m. Her creativity and attacking threat make her a premium option due to her ability to contribute both goals and assists. She registered four goals and three assists for Southampton last season.
£7.5m Emily Syme - Bristol City
Syme was one of the division's most productive creators last season, ranking second for assists across the league. Just one behind newly-promoted side Crystal Palace’s Ashleigh Weerden, Syme’s nine assists and four goals show why she warrants such a price.
£7.5m Charlie Devlin - Sheff Utd
Devlin is a reliable pick at this price due to her high rankings in chances created, successful dribbles, shots and passes that will rack up consistent involvement points.
£7.5m Mary Bashford - Southampton
Last season, Bashford was Southampton's standout attacking midfielder, scoring eight goals in 22 appearances to finish joint-fifth in the division's scoring charts. She amassed 125 points last season due to her goal scoring ability as a midfielder increasing her point tally, making her a reliable pick at this price.
£7.5m Jordan Nobbs - Newcastle
BWSL legend Nobbs delivered an outstanding first season on Tyneside with six goals and six assists, contributing to 12 Newcastle goals in just 20 starts. Her experience, composure and technical ability make her a brilliant pick at this pricepoint.
Forwards
£8m Rio Hardy - Bristol City
Hardy finished the last campaign with 10 goals and an assist in 21 appearances last season, making her the second-highest scorer in BWSL2. She is one of the division’s most proven fantasy forwards, which is why she warrants the top price tag in the league.
£8m Amy Andrews - Sheff Utd
Andrews played almost every available league minute for Sheffield United last season and scored nine goals across her 22 appearances. Her returns to minutes ratio will be a key factor to her price tag and her ability to find the back of the net make her a reliable and interesting top pick.
£7.5m Ellie Brazil - Southampton
Brazil made her mark as a huge fantasy potential last season when she yielded eight goals and four assists in her debut campaign for Southampton. Her hat-trick against Crystal Palace last season shows her clinical ability to rack up the points.
£7m Elise Hughes - Sunderland
Having joined Sunderland from Crystal Palace, Hughes offers Sunderland a proven attacking option. Her consistency allows her to rack up points each week, having made an appearance in all 22 games for Palace last season, including five goal contributions.
£7m Jessie Gale - Newcastle
Newcastle United loanee Gale enjoyed an impressive debut BWSL2 campaign last year, scoring eight league goals in 22 appearances across spells with Portsmouth and Bristol City. Her scoring rate is particularly impressive given her limited minutes, although she managed to accumulate 78 fantasy points last season.
