Will the criteria be made public?
SOURCES: The #NWSL board has voted to approve a new star player fund—internally called "High Impact Player"—to allow teams to spend up to $1M over the cap with a much smaller cap hit for players who meet criteria.
Crucially: A change affecting the cap requires NWSLPA consultation. On @espn.com:

This feels really convoluted, arbitrary and I don’t trust this league leadership and owners to decide on the criteria of who makes a “High Impact Player” or not

As a stopgap, I hope it works! I don’t understand how this is a better function than more aggressive cap raises, or letting contracts make cap projections for future years like the Spirit proposed.

I’m genuinely trying not to be jaded about this but the league created something very similar to this in 2019 and it’s since been phased out because it wasn’t keeping up to demand

Lmfao NWSL gone end up on the hill and in court being foolish.
We sent a letter to the National Women’s Soccer League expressing serious concern about their decision to reject the Washington Spirit’s contract agreement with Trinity Rodman.

I'm trying to think of precedent for this and I literally cannot.

Even though she is being recognised more in the media these days, I think Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw is still underrated in women's football. Maybe it is just the nature of how fans and the media focus on their favourites in the women's game, but her numbers are crazy, and she should be talked about more.

Imo one of the reasons for Chelsea's recent success is the play of Enzo Fernandez. This chart helps illustrate his workrate all over the pitch
Players with the widest touch coverage in the Premier League
For every player (800+ mins) calculated:
Pitch Coverage Score — combining
• Unique pitch zones touched (12×8 grid)
• Spatial entropy (how evenly their touches are spread)
• Convex-hull footprint (the physical area their touches cover)

The NWSL final between the Spirit and Gotham on CBS averaged 1.184 million viewers, making it the first game over the million mark and the most watched game in league history.
Up 22 percent from last year’s final, which averaged 967,900. That’s a solid jump.
