Hemp was the only player to reach eight bonus points, picking them up in three of her five matches. It helps explain why she finished just one point behind Leg 1's top scorer.
Bonus points aren't just for attackers
Two goalkeepers made the list. Newcastle's Anna Tamminen and Man Utd's Phallon Tullis-Joyce both earned six bonus points, the same as Leg 1's top scorer, Océane Hurtré.
Ruby Mace was the highest-earning defender, with six from two matches.
Why bonus points matter for Leg 2
The players who regularly earn bonus points tend to be the ones involved in everything. Eleven of the 14 players above also finished in Leg 1's top 20 scorers, so bonus points are a useful guide to who's in form.
