Match time
Of the defenders only Leah Williamson has played every minute for England so far. Bronze is second for defenders for minutes played with 374. Millie Bright has played 345 minutes. Therefore these three defenders offer the best potential investments for surety of starts. Alex Greenwood could be an option for managers wanting to use the Supersub chip.
No midfielder has played every minute for England so far in the competition. Keira Walsh has the most minutes played with 386. Stanway has played less minutes with 335, however her two attacking returns make her a more attractive pick. Like Greenwood, Russo also looks a good option for the Supersub chip.
