Sophia Wilson played once for Portland in the window. She started and played 90 minutes at Orlando Pride on September 19, a 4-1 win, and she scored once and assisted twice in it. Her line from that match is one goal, two assists, 4 key passes, a big chance created, 9 shots with 5 on target, 12 touches in the opposition box, 10 progressive carries, 2 tackles, an interception, 3 of 6 duels won and 70.6 percent of her passes completed.
On the production rule the pool uses, which weights goals and assists most and adds small credit for chances created, carries and defensive actions, that is a week score of 13.2. It is the highest in the pool this week and it is not tied; Lindsey Heaps is next at 11.0. The rule that names a player of the week takes the highest last-seven-days production among players with 45 or more minutes in the window, and 30 of the 43 in the pool cleared that bar. Hers was the only two-assist match in the pool this week.
The season line behind it is 25 appearances, 22 of them starts, 2,002 minutes and 89 percent of Portland's available league minutes across the club's 25 matches. She has 13 goals and 4 assists, 42 key passes, 7 big chances created, 92 touches in the box and 84 progressive carries, from 109 shots with 48 on target. The goals, the shots and the shots on target are each the most in the pool. Her season production score is 4.86, the third highest here, so this week ran at 2.72 times her own season rate, which is what the HOT tag means.
She is 26 and a lock, named in five squads in the last twelve months, the last of them on June 10, and she started four of them. That is the full 40 points of standing the rule allows. Her score of 99.4 is the highest in the pool, and it is built from 40 for standing, 18.4 for the NWSL's league level, 17.8 of 20 for playing time, 9.2 of 10 for the season, the full 10 for the week and 4 for the form tag. She is the only player in the pool taking the full week production score, and she would be first without the form points as well.
Picked by rule: the highest last-seven-days production score in the pool among players with at least 45 minutes in the window.
