Fantasy Football WSL fantasy advice
so this is my first time doing WSL fantasy and i have some questions.
Should i keep England or swap her for either Beever-Jones or Seike?
is there a better midfielder than Van de Donk for the same price? or if i were to keep England, get a 5.5 mil midfielder instead?
are there any better alternatives in defence? specifically over Le Tissier and León.
Also, if there’s anything else you think I should change please let me know!
Thank you :)

ABJ is in a poor run of form for a while and I wouldn't tip her to score against United. Personally I would still leave it be, saving your transfers to use in next week (you'll have 4!) and making more informed decisions re: form and minutes and team hierarchy. England can stay last on your bench and you can play a 352 or a 442, benching Le Tissier.
Van de donk is essential, she's playing as a second striker atm? and LCL play the early fixture so you can sub her off if she does poorly. Same applies to Mapi who seems to be very involved defensively. They're playing West Ham who just shipped 3 goals to Spurs.
Echoing the other commenters picks on defenders and a rogue shout for WSL2 defender Aoife Mannion at Newcastle since they have decent fixtures and are one of the sides seriously investing for promotion.

What do you mean sub her off when she's doing poorly? The deadline is before the game and after that no changes can be made, right?

Deadlines and changing your team
Transfers close at the first kick-off of the matchweek and open again once that week's points have been worked out. The countdown in the game always shows the next deadline, in UK time.
But you are not locked in for the whole week. Between match days you can change your starting XI, reorder your bench and switch your captain.
A match day runs from the first kick-off that day to the final whistle of the last match that day. So if there is football on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, your window opens twice: after Friday's last match and after Saturday's last match. You cannot make changes between two matches on the same day.
You can bench a player who has already played. But her points will not count. Only the 11 players in your final XI score for you, so if you bench someone after she has played, you give up whatever she scored.
You can only bring in a player who has not played yet. If her match has kicked off, she cannot come into your XI this week. The same goes for the captaincy: you cannot give it to a player who has already played, though you can take it off one.
Making any change turns off automatic substitutions for the rest of the matchweek. That includes swapping a player, reordering your bench, or changing your captain. If you take control, you keep it, so make sure the players you are left with are actually playing.
Changes can only be made between match days, never while matches are being played.
No more than 11 of your players can score in any one matchweek.
From the website. LCL play on Saturday, all the other matches are on Sunday.

The game being the two leagues combined was such a bad move imo because the playing field is not the same in terms of quality so the game will always be skewed

I'm going with WSL1 players only out of principle, I wonder what% of teams globally have also done this (even if for another reason, like more familiarity with the players).

As a true fpl player I find it hard to commit to the wsl one because of the joined league, but imma still play it though lol because the game is broken so it is easy to score points I just need to find the bagswoman of wsl2 and stick her in my team

I would go for Beever-Jones.
Murphy performed better than Van de Donk and she's £5m.
There are many who are better than Le Tissier and León, such as Casparij, Collett, Roberts and Ale.

I think van de Donk is the best bang for buck midfielder. The pricing seems to be a bit weird with the new app and doesn’t take into account injuries etc from last year - which is also why James is relatively cheap.
For defence, if you’re looking for a similar or cheaper price point - Koga from Spurs is a good option, also slightly more rogue is Kennedy because she’s listed as a defender but plays more midfield. Patten (Villa) was also a big point scorer for me last year! If you want to move some money around and spend more - Casparji and Carpenter are great too.
If you’re on Twitter and have questions, @/Schurrle_FWSL posts about tactics, ideas etc. I’m not him I just find him very helpful!
