The NWSL’s Best XI is one of the more anticipated awards given to players at the end of the season. The goal is to highlight the best of the best and award those who had an incredible NWSL season. With the playoffs underway, we at GSN wanted to get a head start and make our own Best XI from the 2024 NWSL. Agree or disagree with our selections?

Temwa Chawinga – Kansas City Current, Forward
This is the easiest choice on the list, and the first name will come up for every single person creating their Best XI. Temwa Chawinga took the NWSL by storm, shattering the NWSL single-season goal-scoring record by Sam Kerr. The superstar scored 20 goals and dished out six assists in the regular season. Plus, the Malawian scored the game-winner in a 1-0 win against the North Carolina Courage in the Quarterfinals. Chawinga has been unstoppable this season. Teams have learned that they cannot play a high line with her lurking in dangerous areas. If she gets even an inch of daylight, she’s putting the ball in the back of the net. She’s a true goal-scoring menace who is set to do this for years to come in the NWSL.
Barbara Banda – Orlando Pride, Forward
