da spicy bet： There are four of England's Lionesses in GOAL's best XI, with players from Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City and Aston Villa all included
da brwin： What a Women's Super League season it has been. The title race and the relegation battle have gone down to the final day, underlining what a thrilling campaign we have been treated to. It could still get even more dramatic yet, in those final fixtures.
At the centre of all the entertainment has been a huge number of top quality performers, be they familiar faces performing at their consistently high levels or new stars on the rise.
So, who among them has made GOAL's WSL Team of the Season for 2022-23? Here's our best XI…
GettyGK: Mary Earps (Manchester United)
There have been some great goalkeepers in the WSL this year, but none have been as consistent as Manchester United's Mary Earps. England's No.1 has played a huge role in an excellent season for the Red Devils, with her currently performing at the highest level in her career to date.
No one has ever recorded more clean sheets in a season than the 13 Earps has this year, with her brilliant shot-stopping on show throughout the campaign, while her ability on the ball has been integral to the way United want to play.

Another reason why United have the best defensive record in the division is because of the players in front of Earps. Ona Batlle is one of two players in that back four to make this XI.
The 23-year-old is arguably the best full-back in women's football right now, with her game so wonderfully balanced. She has all the attacking qualities needed in her position in the modern day, with her ranking second for assists in the WSL this term, but Batlle is also excellent when the opponent has the ball, with few better defensively in a one-v-one situation.
GettyCB: Maya Le Tissier (Manchester United)
After playing a starring role for Brighton since her debut with the club aged 16, this season has seen Maya Le Tissier prove that she can do it at an even higher level. The young defender has thrived despite the added pressure and scrutiny that comes with representing Manchester United, earning herself opportunities with the England senior team as a result.
Having played at full-back often with the Seagulls, Le Tissier has settled nicely into playing centre-back week in, week out in Manchester, with no one in the league performing better in the role all year.
GettyCB: Alex Greenwood (Manchester City)
It's been a difficult season for Manchester City, but they've still had a number of top performers, with Alex Greenwood among them. She has excelled since moving into a central defensive role on a full-time basis several years ago, with her ability on the ball a huge reason why she suits it so well at her current club.
Greenwood's passing range, set-piece deliveries and composure on the ball are all important to how City play, but her defensive abilities shouldn't be overlooked either. Her timing in a tackle is exceptional, with her winning 82 percent of hers this year.
