In the ever-evolving world of EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team, savvy managers know that overlooking the Barclays Women's Super League (BWSL) is a strategic misstep. While the spotlight often shines on the men's Premier League, the women's division harbors a treasure trove of elite talent, offering not only exceptional individual cards but also invaluable chemistry links to their male counterparts in the same club. As the 2026 season unfolds, the competitive landscape is dominated by a few powerhouse clubs, with Chelsea FC Women continuing their reign as the league's most formidable collective. Whether your tactical blueprint prioritizes intricate passing networks, blistering pace, or physical dominance, the BWSL roster delivers versatile players capable of elevating any squad to new heights.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the top BWSL performers in FC 26 Ultimate Team, analyzing their strengths, roles, and ideal squad integration.
| Rank | Player | Club | Key Attributes & Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Lauren Hemp | Manchester City | Pace: 91, Dribbling: |
| 6 | Fara Williams | Hero Card | Shooting: 90, Passing: 90 |
| 5 | Mayra Ramirez | Chelsea | Pace: 94, Physical: 90 |

| 2 | Guro Reiten | Chelsea | Passing: 89, Dribbling: 89 |

7. Lauren Hemp – Manchester City
Lauren Hemp remains one of the most cost-effective gems in FC 26. Her high-rated special cards, like the Trailblazers edition, often hover near their minimum price on the transfer market, offering incredible value. Boasting a blistering 91 Pace, Hemp is a nightmare for full-backs, marauding down the flanks with intent. Her 86 Passing allows for precise crosses into the box, while her 88 Dribbling gives her the close control needed to cut inside and create danger. While her three-star weak foot can be a limitation, for managers building a competitive BWSL squad or simply seeking a reliable, chemistry-friendly option to reach the crucial 33 chemistry threshold, Hemp is an outstanding choice on the wing.
6. Fara Williams – Prime Hero
The legendary Fara Williams earns her place with a formidable Prime Hero card, which significantly upgrades her base attributes. With 90 Shooting and 90 Passing, she transforms into a supremely versatile midfield conductor, capable of both scoring spectacular long-range efforts and delivering defense-splitting through balls. Her five-star weak foot is a huge asset, making her unpredictable from any angle. However, her potential is slightly curbed by her three-star Skill Moves, which limits her ability to execute complex dribbling sequences in tight spaces. The Flair PlayStyle Plus she possesses is a high-skill, situational tool that rewards creative players but can be difficult to utilize consistently for the average midfielder.
5. Mayra Ramirez – Chelsea
Mayra Ramirez has exploded onto the FC 26 scene, establishing herself as one of the most complete strikers available. Her card is a physical marvel: 94 Pace to burn past defenders, 89 Dribbling for silky movement, and a crushing 90 Physical rating. This combination makes her the quintessential Target Forward, a role in which she holds the coveted Role++ designation. While she may not be the primary aerial threat due to her stature, her 91 Strength ensures she can hold off challenges, shield the ball, and be a menacing presence in the penalty area, ready to pounce on rebounds and loose balls.
4. Kim Little – Arsenal
Kim Little returns in FC 26 with a highly exclusive card, obtainable only through the Mode Mastery Swaps system, making her a prized possession for dedicated players. Her technical prowess is highlighted by a stellar 92 Dribbling and a balanced four-star rating for both weak foot and skill moves. The Press Proven PlayStyle helps her retain possession under pressure, though her smaller frame means managers must be cautious to avoid direct physical contests with bulkier opponents. The key to unlocking Little is to utilize her agility and close control to weave through midfield, using deft turns and quick passes rather than engaging in strength-based duels.
3. Lauren James – Chelsea
Lauren James is a spectacular and flexible attacking weapon, capable of lining up on the right wing, in central attacking midfield, or even in a wide midfield role. She truly excels as a winger, thanks to her Inside Forward Role++. Her 93 Pace and 91 Dribbling make her a menace for defenses; she can accelerate past defenders with ease and change direction swiftly to create space for a shot or cross. James is a superb card for almost any squad thanks to her English nationality and position in the Chelsea squad, which makes it easy to link with her teammates or her Chelsea peers on the men's side - Chelsea's men's team is a popular choice for Ultimate Team squads.
2. Guro Reiten – Chelsea
On the opposite flank, Guro Reiten provides the perfect creative balance to Lauren James's directness. While James brings raw pace and power, Reiten is more elusive than James, specializing in quickness, agility, and technical brilliance. With 89 Passing and 89 Dribbling, she can either pick out a killer through ball or glide past defenders herself. Her Finesse Shot PlayStyle Plus makes her a constant threat when cutting inside from the left, able to curl shots into the far corner with remarkable consistency. Used to her full potential, Reiten's card is incredibly difficult to defend against.
1. Sam Kerr – Chelsea
Topping the list is the irrepressible Sam Kerr, who separates herself as the BWSL's premier finisher. While her card shows an impressive 90 Shooting, she consistently plays above that rating, feeling almost automatic in front of goal. This is largely due to her Finesse Shot PlayStyle Plus. Although this playstyle was adjusted from its overpowered state in FC 24, Kerr still uses it to devastating effect, firing rapid, curling shots that consistently find the top corners of the net. Her one challenge can be chemistry links due to her Australian nationality, but this is easily solved by investing in her special Globetrotters card, which generously provides two chemistry points for club, nation, or league links, seamlessly integrating her into any elite setup.
