View our best XI:

Goalkeeper: Jordyn Bloomer (Racing Louisville FC)

The keeper has been performed for racing after he came with the starting role a few weeks ago. She was tested against Angel City attackers with 14 shots and 7 attempts on goal. She made five saves and was confronted with 28 crosses and stood for a long time, and she never really panicked through the entire game, even with some goals admitted.

Defender: Perle Morroni (San Diego Wave)

The French fullback can now add Gointcorer to her CV from San Diego after opening the score for the Golf in Week 10. She is already reliable in delivering assists with three of the season, but now is a scoring option and this year became the 13th other goal scorer for San Diego.

Defender: Emily Sams (Orlando Pride)

Stable, reliable and consistent. That is how Emily Sams has functioned for the entire season for the pride. Even while the coaching staff is shifting things to tactically tinkering, confidence in Sams shows. She led the team in the approvals (three) and is a huge asset like a full -back of center back.

Defender: Casey Krueger (Washington Spirit)

A second consecutive week before Casey Kroegerer in the team of the week after earning a start after her half -time heroism last week. If they do not close attacks, she is phased out. For week 10 she delivered a beautiful cross in the box to generate a SEATTLE Scramble, which was later credited as its own goal.

Defender: Arin Wright (Racing Louisville FC)

The competition veteran reached a personal career high when she came to 15,000 minutes in the regular season. She covered a lot of land and tried to follow Angel City attackers and has been a vocal leader to race because they finally turned a corner this season, and she has cut a help of Emma Sears’s goal.

Midfielder: Kenza Dali (San Diego Wave)

Back on our best XI is the old French international and first -year golfer. She is literally everywhere and led the team in total touches (91), won six of her duels and functioned as the first pass or extra outlet for teammates. She is the midfielder who has been missing the Golf for years.

Midfielder: Croix Bethune (Washington Spirit)

The NWSL -smokie of the year from 2024 worked back in the form last season after a meniscus injury, and in week 10 Croix Bethune delivered many memories of her talents on the field. The midfielder can float in and out seamlessly that it can sometimes be difficult to mark. Now credited as an own goal (Shae Holmes), Bethune was exactly in the right place at the end of a long cross to force the chaotic touch.

Midfielder: Taylor Flint (Racing Louisville)

The defensive midfielder does a lot of work outside the box to ensure that Louisville can control games, but noticed on penalty conversions, and week 10 were even more examples of this. Racing’s unbeaten streak did not come out of nowhere; It has been generated by ruthless efforts by players and coaches, and if Taylor Flint orders the center of the field, Louisville gets results.

“She gets the punishment, she offers some interceptions for them and her presence on the air. She [didn’t] Get an assist for it, but the first time [Kayla] Fischer for the Demelo target … It was a game change for them, “said Jordan Angeli when attacking third.

Forward: Barbra Banda (Orlando Pride)

The Hat-Trick hero was a no-brainer to honor week 10. Banda’s flurry of goals launched her back in position for the Golden Boot Race, and she is now connected to Gotham’s Esther Gonzalez with seven goals. The pride has kept things in the neighborhood in games with narrow scoring lines, but the goals of Banda are another memory of how Lethal Orlando can be.

Forward: Bia Zaneratto (Current of Kansas City)

While the current injuries for players manage the middle of the season, Bia Zaneratto is back and in action. She quickly reminded everyone that she can take the command of games herself or by setting up teammates. A goal and a chip assistant about the back line means that she is finally in our team of the week.

Forward: Adriana Leon (San Diego Wave)

The Canadian International scored twice before the Golf, and her double goals marked her first brace since her time with the former NWSL -side Boston Breakers in 2017. Her timing on runs, positional consciousness and quick thinking could be seen completely during the victory of San Diego over North Carolina.

Coach: Jonas Eidevall (San Diego Wave)

He had to prepare his new club for a big challenge, while his former club, Arsenal, won the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Closed from an unbeaten streak of six games with a big achievement in which the group showed their fast accents and possession while the goals were achieved.

Captain: Lo Labonta (current Kansas City)

After a week in which the old competition veteran was appointed as the National Team of the US Women’s National Team, she was immediately back in the mix with her club side and offered everything that led to her very first Senior National Team call. Most accents among her teammates in midfield (51) checked the pace and created two opportunities.
