Birmingham City are ready to mix it with the big guns. After topping BWSL 2 with 44 points and a healthy +22 goal difference, the club sealed promotion in convincing fashion last term.
Nobody's expecting miracles. The realistic target is to settle into the lower half of the table and steer well clear of the drop. Sensible? Absolutely. Boring? We'll see.
Lily Crosthwaite was the standout last season - seven goals and five assists is a decent haul by anyone's standards. Veatriki Sarri brings versatility in spades, chipping in across the pitch. Both could be pivotal if Birmingham are to survive in the top flight.
Coach Amy Merricks hasn't been shy in the transfer market. Millie Turner and Lisa Naalsund arrive from Manchester United, while Katie Startup joins from Manchester City. That's serious pedigree bolting onto a core that already knows how to win, as detailed by WSL Football.
Sarri and Océane Hurtré are set to share corner-taking responsibilities, with Sarri the likely penalty taker too. Handy knowledge for fantasy managers.
At £7.0m for Crosthwaite and £7.5m for Sarri, Birmingham's key attackers look like potential steals for those willing to gamble on newly promoted sides.
