Last year, we began our annual list of the top 30 players in the SWPL by asking those closest to the game for their list of the top 10 players of the year.
A year on, we asked the same question to a panel of current SWPL managers, assistant managers, coaches and players as well as former players, SWPL experts and journalists to give us their list of the 10 best players in the SWPL.
Last year saw Glasgow City and 103 time Scotland international Hayley Lauder take the title as Scotland’s top women’s player – can she claim the award for the second time?
Each player's points are awarded for their ranking (ie: position one = 10 points, position two = 9 points, position three = 8 points etc.) to give us the definitive list of 2022’s best players in the Scottish women’s top tier.
The panel – all of whom are respected voices within the Scottish game – contributed anonymously and were not allowed to choose their own club’s players if they had an affliation with any SWPL club – so their choices are not guided by club or professional loyalties.
So whether you’re an avid fan of the SWPL and its stars or new to the league looking to find out more, here is who the experts voted as the best 30 players in the league for the year 2022.

9. Emma Watson - Rangers 🆕 (Last year: N/A)
A goalscorer in this season's UEFA Women's Champions League, the fact she's still just 17-years-old and makes the top 10 of this list tells you everything you need to know about her talent. Photo: Ian MacNicol

10. Jenna Clark - Glasgow City ⬇️ (Last year: 8th)
One of Scotland's brightest defensive talents, Clark has an abundance of experience despite her young years. Capable in the air and with the ball at her feet, Clark will only get better. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group

11. Eilidh Shore - Aberdeen ⬆️ (Last year: 25th)
The Dons midfielder is a player many admire for her talent and hard working attitude. Still young, Aberdeen will be hopeful they can build their team around her for years to come. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group

12. Kayla McCoy - Rangers 🆕 (Last year: N/A)
With key striker Jane Ross ruled out with an ACL tear, the Jamaican forward has taken on Rangers' goal scoring mantle - and has done so perfectly. Her second goal in the Champions League tie against Benfica at Ibrox will live long in the memory. Photo: Ian MacNicol
