WSL Fantasy – Gameweek 6 team reveal

The FA Women’s Super League (WSL) continues this weekendtogether with the biggest fantasy game in women’s football: Aerial Fantasy.

Here is world number 30 and five-time top 100k Fantasy Premier League (FPL) finisher Jono (@FWSL_Jono) provides analysis of Gameweek 5 and reveals his Gameweek 6 team.

It’s time for Gameweek 6 in WSL Fantasy with Sunday’s 11am BST deadline just around the corner.

GAME WEEK 5 REVIEW

In Gameweek 5 I finished on 48 points, which was well above the average of 37 points and enough to rise to 318th in the world. Not spectacular, but solid!

Grace Geyoro (£9.0m) and Lucia Kendal (£5.5m) were both ‘visionary’ choices and delivered nicely with bonus points, justifying my decision to go a little differently. Ornella Vignola (£5.0m) ultimately returned a seven-point gain, while Anna Sandberg (£4.7m) was the star of the week at the back with an 11-point gain.

Unfortunately, my replacement goalkeeper, Elene lets (£4.0m), beat Hannah Hampton (£6.0m), who I chose to start with, which always stings. The defensive couple of Ellie Carpenter (£7.7 million) and Maz Pacheco (£4.3m) didn’t offer much. Lots of ‘Bunny’ Shaw (£12.0m) scored, but Alessia Russo (12.5m) and Yui Hasegawa (£7.3 million) were quiet.

GAME WEEK 6 PREVIEW

The later than usual deadline on Sunday provides time to think things through, and there is a sense that change may be necessary. The question is whether this is finally the right time to bring in Mariona Caldentey (£10.0m) from Arsenal, currently the game’s highest points scorer.

Other options in midfield also appeal to me. Chastity grant (£7.0m) continues to impress for Aston Villa, Jess Park (£8.2m) could be a smart choice if United find some rhythm and Chloe Kelly (£7.7m) offers strong attacking potential. One of these could come in, financed by the move to Vignola.

Defensively, time could be up for Pacheco and Josefine Rybrink (£4.0 million). Rachel Maltby (£4.0m), Aston Villa, and Wanassar Sangare (£4.0m), London City, are both ‘visionary’ choices. Alex Greenwood (£7.0 million) and Kerstin Casparij (£7.0m) stands out from Man City’s backline, albeit if money allows.

Captaincy is difficult this week with many great matches. Shaw remains the reliable option, but Russo and Aggie Beever-Jones (£10.2m) both have the potential to score big points against Brighton and Spurs respectively. It may take another week to follow instinct instead of ownership. Just keep in mind that the Champions League and League Cup are in full swing, so watch out for rotation and injuries!
