With Chelsea and Manchester City playing twice in Gameweek 15, this is the perfect opportunity to maximize points. Here’s the best way to navigate the rotation risks, secure big returns, and find those under-the-radar differentials.
Goalkeepers & Defence
🔹 Hampton & Bright – The simplest way to benefit from Chelsea’s double while avoiding rotation chaos? A defensive double-up. Hannah Hampton and Millie Bright have played every minute this season, offering guaranteed security in a period of uncertainty. With fixtures against Brighton and Leicester, clean sheet points are well within reach. Bright also has bonus point potential, while Hampton is a reliable six points per clean sheet. No benching headaches, just steady returns.
🔹 Le Tissier, McCabe & Riviere – If you’re looking beyond the doublers, Maya Le Tissier and Katie McCabe stand out with strong home fixtures against Leicester and West Ham, respectively. Both provide clean sheet potential and are solid picks for bonus points.
For a more aggressive approach to Manchester United’s home fixture against Leicester, Jayde Riviere is a strong differential. It’s the league’s best defense versus the league’s worst attack—expect a clean sheet, and Riviere’s bonus potential makes her an even better prospect. Shake off last week and go again.
Midfielders
🔹 Roord – A nailed-on midfielder with a double? Jill Roord is your best bet. She’s a goal and assist threat and faces two excellent fixtures against Spurs and West Ham. She delivered in both reverse fixtures, and Spurs in particular are an excellent matchup for opposition midfielders. Bonus points might be competitive, but the upside is undeniable, and her minutes are locked in.
🔹 Höbinger – Back-to-back WSL starts, including a 90-minute shift against Manchester City, put Marie Höbinger firmly in the spotlight. Liverpool have a great matchup against Crystal Palace, and Höbinger’s set-piece threat and bonus potential make her a smart pick. One to seriously consider.
🔹 Gorry – If you’re avoiding Chelsea and Manchester City midfielders, Katrina Gorry could be your best alternative for GW15. West Ham’s double is tough, but Gorry’s locked-in minutes guarantee at least four points. City, the Hammers’ second opponent, have conceded the fourth-most bonus points to opposition midfielders this season—perfect for Gorry, a known bonus points magnet. She even picked up two bonus points in a 2-0 loss in the reverse fixture. Low risk, solid returns.
Forwards
🔹 Shaw (C) & Fowler – This is the easiest captaincy decision of the season. Khadija Shaw has two dream fixtures in Spurs and West Ham, fresh off a 13-point haul against Liverpool. Spurs are one of her favorite opponents—she’s scored two hat-tricks in her last three WSL games against them, including a 17-pointer in the reverse fixture. Don’t overthink it.
Alongside her, Mary Fowler is one of the form players in the league, racking up 59 points in her last six games. A City attacking double-up makes complete sense—Fowler is great on bonus, has immense upside, and remains only 9% owned. If you want to capitalize on City’s double, this is the way to do it.
🔹 James – With back-to-back WSL starts, including a 90-minute outing, a goal, and maximum bonus points against Everton, Lauren James is an exciting pick for Chelsea’s double. Rotation has plagued Chelsea’s squad, but James getting consistent starts is a big green flag ahead of games against Brighton and Leicester. Add in her 7% ownership, and she could be a game-changer for those looking for an edge.
Final Thoughts
Gameweek 15 is all about maximizing guaranteed minutes and capitalizing on strong fixtures. Chelsea and Man City assets dominate the picks, and Shaw is the clear captaincy option. Whether you go safe with a Chelsea defensive double-up, or take a risk with differentials like Höbinger or Gorry, this is the time to go all in.
Make your moves wisely—big points are up for grabs. 🚀
