Leicester City Women's creative engine for the 2025/26 Women's Super League season has been detailed in a new statistical report. The data, compiled and reported by Google this week, measures chances created per 90 minutes across the squad, highlighting the key contributors to the Foxes' attacking play.
Who creates the most chances for Leicester?
Samantha Tierney stands out as the team's most frequent creator. The midfielder generated 1.1 chances per 90 minutes over the course of the campaign. This figure puts her ahead of attacking teammates Hannah Cain and Sarah Mayling, who recorded 0.8 and 0.7 chances created per 90 respectively. The statistics offer a clear view of which players were most instrumental in building Leicester's offensive moves, information fans can explore further on our dedicated stats page.
How does the creative burden spread across the squad?
Beyond the top three, the creative workload was distributed among a group of regular contributors. Experienced campaigners like Emily van Egmond and Janice Cayman both registered 0.4 chances per 90. Newer additions to the squad also made their mark, with Noémie Mouchon, Hlín Eiríksdóttir, and Jutta Rantala each posting a rate of 0.5. This spread indicates a team that does not rely on a single playmaker, but instead looks to multiple sources for invention in the final third. The depth of options available to the manager is reflected in the full squad list.
What do the numbers say about the team's style?
The chance creation metrics provide insight into Leicester City Women's tactical approach. The presence of defenders like Ashleigh Neville (0.4) and Julie Thibaud (0.4) on the list suggests full-backs and wide players were actively involved in building attacks. Meanwhile, the rates for forwards like Rachel Williams and Alisha Lehmann, both at 0.4, show they were involved in link-up play as well as finishing. The data confirms Samantha Tierney's central role as the primary creative hub.

|---|---|

Where does this leave the team for the future?

The solid contributions from Cain and Mayling provide reliable wide outlets. For the coming season, the challenge will be converting these created chances into more goals and points, a progression fans can track via the WSL standings.
