It was a big week of NWSL news, with plenty of updates and glimpses into the league's future plans. So, on this week's Full Time Focus, host Jillian Sakovits dives into what we learned from the NWSL’s Autumn press conference, where commissioner Jess Berman answered lots of questions regarding the salary cap, player safety, expansion and her future plans to stay on. Alongside Jillian is Melanie Anzidei and Asli Pelit, who were at the league headquarters in New York City covering the press conference for The Athletic.

After that, Megan Feringa also comes on the show to join Melanie and Asli for a round table discussing the 2025 women's Ballon d'Or, the biggest talking points and who deserves to take home the crown on Monday night.

PLUS: Get focused with Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this weekend from the Houston Dash's NWSL playoff dreams needing a jolt, an early NWSL playoff 'get-right' game in the Rose City, and a top four clash in the English Women's Super League.
