Next is the 2017 Spring Series. Maybe that doesn't even need an article but could be done in a section at the 2017-18 season article. The Spring series will not determine any international places, the winner will not be English champion. It's a warm-up, an appetizer. -Koppapa (talk) 06:27, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
As the tournament organizer, it seems logical that the FA WSL site provides the official information about all aspects of the tournament. Regarding league tables, fixtures and results it is a reliable source, however for statistics such as goal scorers be aware there are issues.
As of today (27 March 2016), the player stats page shows Dominique Janssen (Arsenal) as the WSL 1 top scorer with 2 goals. But the FA WSL official site match report, contradicts that information. Looking at it, one must notice there is a "summary box" (left side below the headlines) indicating Dominique Janssen has scored twice and Danielle Carter once, but the report's body text clearly states that Arsenal goal scores were Dominique Janssen, Asisat Oshoala and Danielle Carter (even the report's headline mention a debut goal for Oshoala). I can only assume the FA WSL statistics info are generated out of data from the "summary box". I have faced the same issue last season (at the WSL Continental Cup goal scorers).
I would like to reach a consensus on how we can improve and make the goal scorers table accurate using reliable sources. These are some sources I know of:
Which other women's football stats sources do you know of?
All your thoughts and feedback are much appreciated.

The BBC is extremely good at both reporting matches on their website and showing the games back televised. Their sources clearly show Oshoala's goal. FATV (which is the official home for televising FA interests also has the official highlights of the game showing Oshoala's goal. This can also be seen on Youtube. This is not in dispute and the WSL site summary is incorrect despite the same article outlining and celebrating her goal complete with photo of said moment in the main article.
Despite the contradiction, see this as a maths problem - the summary shows a 'number'; the main article shows the number AND the working behind it. Which source would you pull from? Table amended to show fact.
Soccerway is NOT a good source to use as it pulls information from websites they choose and not a collaboration of sources. For example, they had both a FC Midjaelland match and a Gibraltar National Football team match showing incorrect information and wrong scorers for almost 3 months and 6 months respectively. Official websites can and do get information wrong from time to time but 'facts' written down on the internet cannot be superseded by what you see in front of your eyes. Video evidence is almost entirely incorruptible in instances like this and must be treated as such.
