Alessia Russo will set Fantasy managers back a cool £11.5 million this season - making her the second priciest pick in the entire game. Not bad for someone who can't even be bothered to collect a yellow card.
Russo bagged 13 goals and chipped in six assists across 22 BWSL appearances. That haul earned her a runner-up finish in the Football Writers' Association Women's Footballer of the Year vote and a shortlist nod for the PFA Players' Player of the Year. She finished second in the league's scoring charts and joint-third for assists, as WSL Football reports.
Russo started 21 of Arsenal's 22 league fixtures and featured in every single match. Zero yellows. Zero reds. Basically the most drama-free forward in the division. For Fantasy managers who enjoy sleeping at night, she's the obvious pick.
A new long-term contract signed in September killed off any transfer speculation before it could even begin. No pre-season soap opera, no settling-in period at a new club - just continuity.
There is one catch. Arsenal face three of last season's top four in their opening run, kicking off against Brighton. That brutal schedule could dent Russo's early returns, so patience might be required despite the hefty price tag.
