Football Season Guide

Strong last season. In the top 5 and full 9 points ahead of the team in 6th place. The Lillywhites the only team outside of the Big 4 to stay in touch with them. Ran out of steam come springtime but still feel buoyant. Strong summer moves clearly show that Tottenham are eager to join the elite of English football. In her 1st season in the WSL young defender Toko Koga (19) became the only player outside of the Big 4 clubs to make the Best 11 last season. Now a year older and much wiser Koga should be the cornerstone of the back line. Captain Beth England and club legend Bartrip, missed the entire last season with an ACL tear, left. Magnificently replaced. Star strikers Hanson and Martinez should make Spurs even more dangerous in attack. Dutch CB Caitlin Dijkstra is younger and probably better than Bartrip at this stage of her career. Also, boosted the creativity in midfield with the addition of bright AM Pelova from Arsenal. She is an extremely talented player that had bad luck with injuries and stiff competition at Arsenal. Should be the main creator in midfield. The Lillywhites certainly increased the quality in the squad and they look determined to break into the top 4 this season.
