After a grim 12th-place finish saw them tumble out of the top flight, Leicester City are dusting themselves off and eyeing promotion back to BWSL 1. Relegation stings, but this lot aren't moping about.
Manager Rick Passmoor has been busy. Very busy. A significant squad clear-out has made way for a raft of arrivals, transforming the group almost beyond recognition.
Jessie Stapleton and Jess Ziu have arrived from West Ham, Leah Eddie joins from Rangers, and Poppy Pritchard makes the move from Manchester City. That's serious pedigree for a second-tier side, as WSL Football reports.
Sam Tierney remains the heartbeat of this team. The skipper's relentless work rate and defensive nous make her indispensable. If Leicester are to mount a genuine title challenge, she'll be right at the centre of it.
For fantasy managers, Tierney - priced at £6.5m - looks a shrewd pick thanks to her set-piece duties. Olivia McLoughlin (£6.0m) could be a midfield bargain too. The rest of the squad sits between £4.0m and £5.5m - budget-friendly options during what is clearly a rebuilding phase.
