The 10 best WSL midfielders on current form


In the calendar year, some of the best midfielder in the Super League of women (WSL) became bright.

Midfielder are the heart of football and combine the defense and the attack on the search for success. Without our central Maestros, the beautiful game would be far less beautiful.

With ten games in the 2024/25 season, the WSL clubs rely on the individual brilliance to give their campaigns success.

Here, 90 minutes I classified the most in the form of the midfielder in the WSL …

Ruby Mace

The 21-year-old asked questions when she left the WSL-Giants Manchester City in summer to join Leicester, but Ruby Mace has silenced the critics since then. The midfielder has taken on a strong leadership role in the center of the park for Leicester, where it had previously been loaned and dictated the piece with its composed behavior.

Maces sophisticated playing style has earned her call to Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses squad in the past few months.

At the age of 20, Maika Hamano has been one of the brightest sparks in Chelsea in the past few months. The Japanese midfielder often has its influence from the bank and has carried out its role perfectly.

The Youngster brings Chelsea a creative flair and works in cohesion with the bright strikers to reduce the opposition defense.

Yui Hasegawa

Manchester City would be lost without Yui Hasegawa as an anchor in the center of her midfield. The Japanese international has started every game of the 2024/25 WSL season and is an integral part of Gareth Taylor’s game plan.

Hasegawa’s ability to control the pace of the game is unsurpassed and she has the potential to be heralded as the best in her position in the world. The inconsistency of the city in the center of the park has hindered its shape, but it has still found the ability to shine.

Honoka Hayashi

Honoka Hayashi has achieved a real influence on Brian Sorensen’s Everton in the past few weeks and has ranked in the top 15% of the league for successful passes and successful dribbling. Not only that, but also their defensive properties shine and rank among the top 5% of the WSL midfielder for duels.

Everton has a real versatile capital in Hayashi and continues to increase the level in the middle of Sorensen.

Despite the constant fights of Crystal Palace in the WSL, my Cato had an extraordinary campaign. The 22-year-old increased its level this season and scored three goals for her efforts in the center of the park.

It can not only make an attacking spark available to the Eagles in the future, Cato’s defense features were stone for the side. Their ability to recover the ground and regain possession has brought more than once out of difficulties.

Hinata Miyazawa

After a turbulent campaign due to injury struggles last season, Hinata Miyazawa found her feet in 2025. With confidence and flair, the midfielder played the United Middle Field impressive depth.

The Golden Boot winner of the World Cup rejected the talented Grace Clinton from Start XI and held its place according to a number of good shape. Miyazawa is working well to break the lines for the future, but also falls back to help the full -backs who tend to press higher on the field.

Frida Maanum

After Frida Maanum fought to reach the start -xi last season, he became the beating heart of the Arsenal middle field in this campaign.

The Norweigan brings the Gunners an attack advantage and works together with the strikers to terrorize the opposing. Scoring six goals as a midfielder is not an easy task, but Maanum does it with a brilliance.

Sjoeke Nusken is perhaps the most versatile player in the WSL, which made it difficult to bring her to the list of midfielder. German talent can play in advance, in defense or in the middle of the field in defense or in the middle of the pitch.

Nusken presented her best work in midfield and was the glue for Chelsea this season. The ability of the 24-year-olds to divide lines and break the defenses with their exact passports was an essential part of Chelsea’s success in all four competitions. Sonia Bombastor works with gold and Nusken is perhaps the brightest of the pile.

Kyra Cooney-Cross

The Arsenal fans were rightly concerned when they entered Kyra Cooney-Cross without Kim Little and Lia Walti in 2025 without Kim Little and Lia Walti. The Australian has made it into Renee Slegers’ starting team and has proven itself in the center of the park every week.

The extraordinary form of Cooney Cross was rewarded after she received the award for Arsenal’s January player of the month. The ability to localize players with a long ball is unprecedented, and their skills in ball transport lead to further depth.

Ella Toone

After a hard veal injury in the final phase of 2024, Ella Toone returned to football from her best. In 2025 alone she scored six goals and shows her value every week.

The England star has silenced the critics, which they inconsistently called, and increases the levels with every new week. Their shot form has been reached in perfect time because the lion women want to defend their European title this summer.
