Is the WPLL takeover good for the English game? – Women’s Football Weekly | Football


On today’s pod, the panel discusses a new era for women’s football as the Women’s Professional League (formerly known as NewCo) takes over the WSL and Women’s Championship from the FA. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for women’s football in England?

The panel also looks forward to an exciting Barclays WSL season by analysing each team’s major transfers, assessing their progress, and famously predicting the season’s final standings.

Plus, the panel will take your questions and invite you to their Fantasy League this season on FantasyWSL.net. Code GUARDIANWFW.
