As Football Manager introduces women’s football, I’m looking into the exciting possibilities of teams and players you could manage. In this post, I take a look at the FM25 Arsenal Women team.

For an overview of the series and to catch up on previous posts, please visit Women’s Leagues in FM25.

Arsenal Women were formed in 1987 by Vic Akers, and their history has seen the club become statistically the most successful club in English women’s football.
