Matilda's abroad

Caitlin Foord starts for Arsenal in their UWCL semi-final first leg game against OL Lyonnes. Steph Catley and Kyra Cooney-Cross both not in the matchday squad altogether for Arsenal. Teagan Micah still injured and not in the matchday squad altogether for OL Lyonnes.
 
Another goalless game for Daniela Galić. Maybe Vittsjö should put her back in midfield. They’re still yet to win a game this season. Three games in though, I’m sure she’ll end up scoring a fair few goals.
 
Sam Kerr played the entirety of Chelsea's 4-1 WSL win over Everton, scoring a brace of goals in the 6th and 47th minute. Ellie Carpenter also played the entire match for Chelsea, scoring in the 53rd minute. Clare Wheeler played the entire match for Everton, getting an assist in the 10th minute.

To be honest I don’t think the Northern Super League is a step up from the ALW.

At the moment it’s quite similar, they just get paid more over there. This is precisely why we need professionalism here. We also need to adequately replace her here at Sydney FC.

In saying that, I’m happy for her to get the opportunity to go and explore the world plus potentially end up at a club in south of the border in the US, and happier that her leaving meant she went overseas rather than to boost the stocks of a rival club at home. Of the two moves from Sydney so far I’d say Hana Lowry got the better move going to Vålerenga. While the rest of the Toppserien is A-League level or worse, Brann and Vålerenga are top sides.

Probably a silly question I know but does the ALW have a salary cap?
I know the base wage is around $ 25,000 but can richer clubs like Melbourne City pay their players whatever they want?

The Dub has a salary cap of $640k but it's likely that only the marquee players at a side like Melbourne City are being paid well above the base wage.

So does that create an unequal competition given that most players are having to juggle playing, training and travelling to games whilst also having to take second jobs just to exist.

You rarely see huge wins (4–0 or more) in the Dub, even in games like City vs Wanderers, so I’d say no. The players probably put in more effort week in week out knowing they could get a raise. Either way it’s gotta change, they have to be paid at least $100,000 if not much more per year. If they’re only making $25,000 a year on average then I make more far money than the average Dub player which is crazy cause I’m an ordinary bloke in Sydney.
