Women’s football fans are among the most excited for the release of FIFA 23 on September 30th.

EA Sports announced the historic decision to add the Women’s Super League and Division 1 Féminine in July, just days after Chelsea striker Sam Kerr was unveiled as the cover star for the game.

After predicting the highest rated starting XI in England, GiveMeSport Women guesses which strikers from both the WSL and D1 Féminine will be the highest rated on FIFA 23.

10) Lena Petermann (Montpellier) – 79

German striker Lena Petermann currently plays for Montpellier in the D1 Féminine. Last season, she helped her side to a fifth place finish with 10 goals.

9) Bunny Shaw (Manchester City) – 81

Khadija "Bunny" Shaw took the D1 Féminine by storm a couple of seasons ago, finishing as the league’s top scorer with 22 goals for Bordeaux.

Her performances earned a move to Manchester City in the WSL, where she scored nine times.

8) Stina Blackstenius (Arsenal) – 82

Swedish star Stina Blackstenius moved from BK Häcken to Arsenal in January, and hit the ground running.

She linked up well with Vivianne Miedema to hit the back of the net six times.

7) Melvine Malard (Lyon) – 83

Melvine Malard proved she was a more than capable deputy for Ada Hegerberg last season.

6) Alessia Russo (Manchester United) – 85

Alessia Russo made a name for herself for England during Euro 2022, but she is also Manchester United’s star striker.

The 23-year-old scored nine times last season, with two goals coming against Everton at Old Trafford.

5) Pernille Harder (Chelsea) – 86

Pernille Harder must constantly prove her ability at Chelsea every day, with Sam Kerr and Beth England also among the team’s attacking talent.

She has often been pushed out to the wing as a result, but still found the back of the net six times last season.

4) Marie-Antoinette Katoto (PSG) – 87

Marie-Antoinette Katoto is one of the most talented strikers in the world. She scored 18 goals for PSG in the D1 Féminine last season, the highest in the league.

The 23-year-old is currently on the sidelines after tearing her ACL at Euro 2022, but fans will still be able to play as her virtually on FIFA 23.

3) Vivianne Miedema (Arsenal) – 89

This list has truly moved into GOAT territory. Miedema is the all-time leading scorer in the WSL with a stunning 74 goals, earning 14 of these last season.

The Dutch striker has started playing as a number 10 for Arsenal recently, but she is still expected to be a regular feature on the scoresheet.
