One name really jumps out in the free kick column: Sam Staab. Staab has actually logged more free kicks than anyone, including goalkeepers, in the NWSL this season. Her closest non-GK competition is Kaleigh Kurtz with 31, and seven GKs separate those two on the list...

Round 9 of the FNWSL season is in the book! We also found out that the 14th NWSL franchise will be named Bay FC, so I’ll spend the next year or so coming up with “bae” puns. Outside of Seattle, it was a very low-scoring weekend in the NWSL – which led to...

As suggested by @RadJudyGarland on Twitter, this week we are discussing selecting defenders to be captains in FNWSL. Only about 10-12% of FNWSL managers give the armband to a DF each week. This low percentage is at least partially due to the fact that it only takes...

It was an action-packed Round 8 across the NWSL, and I’m hoping you took my advice for the Portland-Chicago game and ignored it for the Orlando-Washington matchup. Round 9 gets underway Friday evening with Houston visiting Kansas City, so make sure your lineups...

A lot of you have been asking… well, actually no one has, but I’m going to share it anyway. I posted my Round 1 team shortly before the season started, and many of my predictions have gone awry. Here’s what my team look like these days: It took a very concentrated...

We saw some surprising results in Round 7, including away losses by Portland and OL Reign which left Washington as the only remaining undefeated team. Most of the goals this week came from some of the less prolific goalscorers in FNWSL as well, leading to some...

I suggested making Sophia Smith your Round 1 captain before the season started, and that was one of about two total recommendations that I got right in my season preview article. Smith started the season on a tear, logging 82 points through the first four weeks. She...
