Plenty of England's Lionesses have caught the eye in the top-flight this season, with Chelsea well-represented after a sixth title in a row
This weekend, the 2024-25 Women's Super League season will come to a close, with Chelsea sitting at the top of the tree for a sixth season in succession despite bidding farewell to Emma Hayes last summer. Sonia Bompastor's Blues have picked up where Hayes' left off, setting the pace from the get-go in what has been a dominant drive towards yet another trophy, one they collected with two games to spare – that a competition record.
Unsurprisingly, then, it is Chelsea who are the most well-represented team on GOAL's countdown of the top 20 players from this campaign, but there is also plenty of talent from both Arsenal and Manchester United after the pair secured the other two Champions League spots. This season's best performers are not all from the top three, though.
So, who makes the cut? GOAL ranks the most impressive individuals from the 2024-25 WSL season…

It's been a surprisingly tricky season for Chelsea in the forward areas, with injuries to the likes of Sam Kerr and Lauren James forcing others to really step up and deliver. As the Blues' top goal-scorer in the WSL, Aggie Beever-Jones has certainly done that on several occasions, despite only being a starter for 11 of her 21 appearances in the competition.
A return of eight goals means she's averaging a strike every 127 minutes, which is certainly impressive from someone in just their second season as a first-team regular with the English champions. Her hard work off the ball and versatility in the forward areas in general has been a real asset for the Blues, too, considering the players they've been without at times, with Beever-Jones always able to pose a threat regardless of where on the pitch she is deployed.

It's been a tough season for Tottenham. The north London side enjoyed a wonderful first campaign under Robert Vilahamn, finishing sixth in the WSL and reaching the FA Cup final, but this term has not been quite as fruitful, with them currently ninth heading into the final round of league fixtures. Conceding goals has been a real issue for Spurs, with only bottom side Crystal Palace doing so more often, but finding the back of the net hasn't been particularly easy either.
That makes Bethany England's return of eight goals this season, bettered by just four players across the WSL, extremely applaudable. Crucial to that has been a clinical shot conversion rate – one which is better than the likes of Beever-Jones, Vivianne Miedema and Alessia Russo – with it certainly not a stretch to say that Tottenham probably would've been in a relegation battle without England's quality in the final third.

It's been a strong first season at Manchester United for Elisabeth Terland. The 23-year-old signed from Brighton in the summer after scoring 13 goals in 22 games for a struggling Seagulls side, and while she hasn't quite hit those heights numerically this term, her nine goals lay a solid foundation for what she will hope is a lengthy stay with the Red Devils.
Terland's return of five assists, after notching just one last season, is a notable uptick, helping to rank her joint-first for most goal involvements across the WSL, and her all-round game has impressed, too. A hard-working No.9 who sets the tone with her pressing and will not shy away from any individual duel, there is a lot to be encouraged by from her first season in red.

Everton may well have been looking over their shoulder a little more this season were it not for Courtney Brosnan's performances in between the sticks. The Toffees really struggled to score goals in the first half of the campaign, managing just six before Christmas. However, Brosnan's top goalkeeping helped those half-dozen efforts be worth nine points.
Only Manchester United's Phallon Tullis-Joyce has a more positive differential between her expected goals against statistic and the actual number of goals she has conceded this term than Brosnan, with clean sheets in games against Arsenal and Liverpool among her most impressive displays.
