BT Sport Women's Super League pundits and former England internationals Sue Smith and Laura Bassett are delighted to see the shift towards a fully professional English top flight this season, as well as picking their favourites for the title and talented players to watch out for.
Responding to questions posed by 90min fans, Smith and Bassett both described themselves as 'proud' to see the transition to a professional league with 11 full-time clubs, certainly not feeling any bittersweet sentiments about it, having not had this opportunity during their own careers.
"I'm really proud and pleased for all the opportunities in women's football now that the players have," Bassett said.
