Top picks:

Cortnee Vine: Vine plays attacking-heavy football. Her command of the ball has improved a lot recently and looks very confident even under pressure. She recorded a total of nine goals and two assists to her name in 12 matches last season and will be the main threat for the opponents. She is a must-pick player in your fantasy football team.

Mackenzie Hawkesby: Hawkesby likes to cross the ball in the box to teammates, taking long shots into the goal and dribbling the ball. She recorded five goals and 10 assists in the league last season. She has huge potential and her contribution could once again help his side continue the good momentum.

Melina Ayres: Ayres is a tough player to defend with her pace, trickery & combined with quality finishing ability. One of the top players in the club and a solid player who can shine this season as well. She is a proven goal scorer and must be high on confidence. In her last three league matches, she netted two goals and made an assist.
