1. Phallon Tullis-Joyce (Manchester United)

There were large shoes to capable pinch Mary Earps leaving successful nan summer. Was Phallon Tullis-Joyce fresh to measurement up? Absolutely. She has only conceded 16 goals successful nan WSL this season, she has made immoderate immense saves successful immense games.
