If Bhuta stays, does she go back to the midfield or does she stay at right back?

I wonder if her decision to stay or not, and where she's going to play, are interrelated: she's already put in significant time filling a need at outside back; if she sees her future as a midfielder she might not want to do it again.

My pure analysis view - With Harvey gone, the MF depth looks a whole lot thinner. I would expect MF, but incoming Frosh might.impact things as well.

My personal view as noted at the start of the year is she was the best DM in the country and a top 10 player the second half of 2024. Injuries yanked her in and out of the lineup and she never had that sharpness as a result this year. But for me, MF is a no brainer if she returns.
