There is less than a month to go between now and the 2021 NWSL Draft.

A new team sits atop of this year’s draft order, with Racing Louisville FC boosting the league numbers up to 10. Forty picks are set for January 13, with the new franchise picking twice in the first five picks. There’s another “new” old team, with a franchise returning to Kansas City for the new season as well.

Ramping up draft coverage ahead of the 2021 edition, these five questions are worth monitoring in the coming months.
