Infection of American women’s national team Since Emma Hayes has taken over as a coach, a shocking, unprecedented level of experimentation for the world’s most successful female football team is marking unprecedented levels.
Twenty -four players have made their international debut in the first 24 matches with Hayes in the last one year, even winning the gold medal in the previous summer Olympics.
Now, Hayes has said that she has seen enough to focus on narrowing the core of her players and developing the group, which is expected to win the fifth World Cup to Americans in Brazil in 2027.
So after that experiment, which new players are likely to be on a roster for the Women’s World Cup after two years from now? We have ranked the debut that fit Hayes’ 2027 schemes. It is about talent, yes, but the team’s position is also needed, which means that some players rank high or low depending on the requirement.
24. Eva Getino 22 | Defender | PSG
Getino’s loan US presence won 3–0 early last year. ArgentinaAt the age of 22, she still has a lot of time to develop, but she has not been with the late U23s continuously, either, as Hes has tested other emerging center bench.
Hayes has used the most in fullback, and Malonson is one of the options that are being discovered. However, Malonson’s only hat, however, came against Argentina last year. Other fullbacks have recently been more heavyly painted.
22. Sam Stab 28 | Defender | Chicago Stars FC
The player who has never done a game owner Just last year, a major injury occurred last year after the start of their American team, which is especially on the hunt for the depth on time. This year, Chicago’s struggles have made it difficult for Stab to stand out on their return.
21. Lo’u Lebonta 32 | Midfielder | Cenus city current
There are some big advocates for The Legend of Labonta compared to this author, but they have a tough competition in the midfield. There is a youth movement as the manufacture of Hayes for the next decade. He said, Labonta Midfield has an all-NWSL talent, and Hes has shown that the club form matters. The biggest question, assuming that the form of labeonta is, is how he fits into a crowded midfield puzzle.
20. Sam Meja 23 | Midfielder | Seattle rule FC
Meja was impressive against Ireland last month, an opportunity she earned through her stable game at Midfield for Seattle. He has capacity as a deep-folded midfielder, but has a better-known institutions on the depth chart.
19. Easy Rodriguez 26 | Defender | Cenus city current
Rodriguez NWSL has an attacking force in Fullback. According to ESPN research, he ranks 14th in the league in the possibilities created. It is the exact same type of profile that Hayes has tested in fullback. Right now, however, Hes has only sample size of the most recent American camp for Rodriguez.
18. Kerry Abellow 25 | Defender | Orlando pride
Like Rodriguez, Abello thus has an attack-mind fullback with limited international representative, but she takes an edge to versatility. She can play centrally in three-back capacity-which Hayes recently noted-and she also handles a more advanced winger role for Orlando several times. He is very reverse and should get an opportunity.
17. Mandy mcglin 26 | Goalkeeper | Utah Royals
McGlin started as a race to change the final decline Elisa Nehar Entered into full enthusiasm. Each goalkeeper of this list has a strong shot in making 2027 World Cup because the most recent number 1 (NAEHER), number 2 (Casey Murphy) And number 3 (Jane campbell) Out of the picture or out of favor. McGlin has the highest base of three goalkeepers in this list.
16. Emily Sams 26 | Defender | Orlando pride
Sams has been a consistent force for Orlando and continues to receive calls for Americans, but it started in only two out of two of the 10 matches of the US team this year (with a appearance from the bench). Why can only Hayes really say, but Sams is at least fourth on the Center-back depth chart. His club form for Orlando remains strong and he is great in each situation.
15. Lily Rele 21 | Defender | NJ/NY Gotham FC
Reele was extraordinary in the most recent game of the US team CanadaShe has been stable for Gotham in her fraudulent season and is ready for the international stage. Can those left leg crosses serve from wing? Hayes will take them throughout the day. At the age of 21, this defender looks like the Reele Deal (thank you, thank you all day).
14. Jordan bug 18 | Defender | Seattle rule FC
The long -term future of Bug as an early American center seems unavoidable; This is a question, when, no. Hayes recently said that Bugs will still play in the U -20 World Cup and in a possible train with U33, they will train several times to prepare it for 2027 or 2028 Olympics and beyond. How quickly growth progresses and maybe, whether the FIFA World Cup expands Rosters to 26 players, he can determine its immediate future. But Bugs are already getting concluded in NWSL and drawing to compare Naomi Girma To rescue him composed for him.
13. Hal harshfelt 23 | Midfielder | Washington Spirit
Harshfelt has not played for the US in 2025 due to injury, but don’t forget that it was part of last year’s Olympic run. His possibility of being on the 2027 World Cup roster will increase and fall based on his health; Now the most important thing is coming back on the field. The pool does not have a difficult midfielder (A) Julie Ertz Comparison can be appropriate), and it has a passing vision that is moving forward for its complement.
12. Emma Sears 24 | Further Racing Louisville FC
Hayes is high on Sears, whose athleticism is away from the chart. Ciers continues to refine its technical sports and decision making, later a growth of HES during the most recent window. Sears is ranked fifth in NWSL with six goals this season, second among Americans and most of any player with senior American cap.
11. Tara Mcken 26 | Defender | Washington Spirit
McKeown is one of the most interesting developments in the player pool after a well -written conversion in recent years. She has appeared since he started in eight out of 10 US Games this year. Her background means that she profiles as a more aggressive, ball-playing center-a person who can complement all-world Girma, stable against the right opponent. X factors include future health in this situation Tinea davidsonBut McCain has also shown marked progress even internationally in a few months.
10. Yazmin Ryan 26 | Further Houston dash
A brief injury in the spring kept Ryan out of the American camp, but do not forget that it has been dynamic and effective with several positions in its brief stent with the team. Ryan can play anywhere in the front four. The most important thing for him in the near period is that it is producing at the club level for a Houston team, which is still not found to be his notes.
9. Gisle thompson 19 | Defender | Angel City FC
At the international level, Thompson’s moments are limited yet, but talk to anyone behind the curtain and they speak about the teenager as one of the next top American players. Her elder sister, Elisa, already had her breakout moments for the club and the country; Gisele is on the horizon. His future with America looks like a question where, instead, he fits on the field.
8. Michelle Cooper 22 | Further Cenus city current
Has anyone caught the couper along with their opportunity? He has tireless drives that get stuff (and bites his game to cut the hass). Cooper can take guards on wing and reach the end line, and he can score from central regions. Winner is a tough competition for roles – don’t forget that the initial Olympic forward trio Trinity rhodman, Malori swanson And Sophia wilson Some are likely to be back to the point – but Hayes are clearly affected by the cooper.
7. Claudia dicky 25 | Goalkeeper | Seattle rule FC
As Hes said, data does not lie: Dickey is definitely the best American goalkeeper in NWSL this year. He is in second place behind Obre kingsbury (Who was the number 3 goalkeeper in the 2023 World Cup) Post-shot against minus goals in the required goals, a remedy in preventing shots. Dickey’s recent debut for the US confirmed that it would be part of the rotation moving forward.
6. Crox Bithunun 24 | Midfielder | Washington Spirit
Bethune is a creative talent with bravery to attempt risky passes and technical ability to execute them. He made a debut in front of the team’s Olympic run and tied the NWSL record as a crook last year. Rose The American is still a standard setter as number 10, as he reminded the world in a recent dazzling performance against Canada, but Bathun, who is six years younger, has a uniform skill set that cannot be ignored. Bethune requires refining on the ground after just trimmed a prolonged injury.
5. Every patterson 23 | Defender | Houston dash
Patterson may have scored the best run of any new USWNT player’s spring games, puncturing by a strong performance against Canada earlier this month. He is an extraordinary two-way fullback with athleticism and perfect mixture of vision. His climb is with the search for solution in the position of the Hes. Patterson’s goal against Ireland last month was a solid reward. Come 2027, she can be contrary to fullback Emily Fox,
4. Claire Hutton 19 | Midfielder | Cenus city current
For a long time, American fans know how rare it is to find the total package of a defensive midfielder. Hatan is a player. At the age of 19, she is already under pressure at the center of the park, further gliding and protecting opponents from the ball to create a progressive pass. His game is incomplete, such as 19 -year -old, but it is beyond his years. he is Sam coffeePrimary competition of – and seven years younger.
3. Associate 21 | Further Utah Royals FC
There is something about the sent when coming on the ball. She appears to move fast with a ball on her feet in the open field, when she sprints without it, she leads us great. Tobin Heath To compare it to Lionel Messi. Sendnor can also produce a powerful, sometimes adventurous shot, even with a small run-up, reminds Chryston press‘Capacity. Sendnor can play on number 9, number 10 or wing.
2. Falon Tullais-Joyce 28 | Goalkeeper | Manchester United
No player has extended more rank than Tulis-Joyce in the last few months, which appears to be a favorite for the early goalkeeper job after a sensational start against Brazil in April. She enjoyed a strong club season in England and supported it with concrete performance in her first US cap, when Americans had a lack of reply, emerging with confidence. This is his early role to lose, and through the need for a new trio of goalkeepers, will keep him away from the 2027 World Cup team only in an injury or a bottomless dip form.
1. Lily yohans 18 | Midfielder | Ol lions
Short -term, long -term, all of the above: Yohans is a star in making. His recent transfer to Ol Leonse from Ajax is the next step in his development that is for training with top world players every day. Yohannes is remarkably designed as a deeper playwright, and his final ball to break the defensive lines has determined America’s wishes in recent years. Hayes has worked hard to control the campaign around John, but the reality is that any midfield that starts combination in 2027 will come together.
