The 2021/22 Women's Super League season has already delivered some mouthwatering football in the two game weeks so far.

With 39 goals scored scored across the board and some shock results, there's been plenty of talking points – including the best performers on the pitch.

Here are some crucial statistics from the opening two weekends of the WSL, courtesy of FBRef.

Goals

Arsenal teammates Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead currently lead the goal scoring table with three each. The duo have scored six of the Gunners' seven goals in the season so far.

Assists

Mead also leads the way for assists provided so far (2), but she is joined by three others at the top of the list.

Alex Greenwood (Man City), Katie McCabe (Arsenal), and Ella Toone (Man Utd) all have two assists to their name as well.

Shots

Pernille Harder of Chelsea has taken the most shots so far this season with 10, but has been wasteful in regards to hitting the target. 

Teammate Sam Kerr and Leicester's Natasha Flint have been the most accurate – registering five shots on target each. Kerr also boasts an average of 4.05 shots on target per 90, the most in the league.

Clean sheets

Brighton's Megan Walsh has a 100 percent clean sheet rate so far, with her side sat top of the league right now.

The Seagulls are the only team yet to concede a single goal in the WSL this season.

Despite Walsh keeping the most clean sheets, it's Hannah Hampton who has tallied the most saves this season so far.

Aston Villa's summer signing has made nine saves for her new side and sits ahead of Mackenzie Arnold (West Ham) and Sandy MacIver (Everton) on eight saves each.

Chelsea's Guro Reiten and Manchester City's Lauren Hemp are tied for the most crosses put in so far this campaign. The two attackers have completed 12 crosses, with three of those each being passed into the box.

Expected goals (xG)

There are currently three players with the highest xG in the WSL. Chelsea duo Pernille Harder and Sam Kerr along with Brighton's Inessa Kaagman all have an overall xG 1.7.

These three are expected to score the highest amount across the season so far based on the quality and quantity of shots taken.

Kerr leads the way for the highest xG/90 with 1.39, meaning the Aussie star is expected to score at least one goal per 90 minutes.

Touches

Manchester United defender Ona Batlle has taken more touches (191) than any other WSL player this season.

The Spaniard leads this tally ahead of Manchester City duo Alex Greenwood and Steph Houghton, who have both taken 184 touches so far.

Players dribbled past

Not a single player from the typical 'big' teams have made this top three.

Reading forward Rachel Rowe has dribbled past the most players (10) so far. Mayumi Pacheco (Aston Villa) and Veatrikki Sarri (Birmingham) have both evaded seven players with their clever footwork.
