When Leicester City were relegated from the Women's Super League to WSL 2 in May, it was the catalyst for a mass exodus from the club.
Fourteen players have already left in the summer transfer window including nine who featured in the WSL play-off defeat by Charlton Athletic.
Goalkeeper Janina Leitzig switched to Manchester United while talented attacking trio Hannah Cain, Noemie Mouchon and Jutta Rantala joined Everton.
It means a major rebuild is on the cards as they look to bounce back from the second tier this season.
However, captain Sam Tierney, who is the longest-serving player at Leicester, gave supporters a major boost when she agreed a new deal until 2028 in July.

Scotland's Melanie Woods has won the Commonwealth Games women's 1500m T54 for the second time in under 40 hours after streaking to victory in the restaged final - however England's Ellis Kottas could not replicate her silver medal.
Woods set a new Games record to triumph in Glasgow on Wednesday evening, but it emerged on Thursday morning that Para-athletics authorities had decided the race should be held again following appeals surrounding a first-lap crash.
However, the Scot kept her composure in her home city to replicate her initial success, break the record again, and reclaim the gold that was already hers - in mind if not around her neck.
Kottas, though, finished fourth, having said she was "low-key traumatised" when the race result was overturned.
Woods led from the start in her home city, although Noemi Alphonse of Mauritius and Australia's Eliza Ault-Connell kept her honest over the first couple of laps.

In the best case scenario for Lachlan and Kaylen Bassett, one of them will be competing in the 2028 Olympics, the other will be supporting.
That's because the Australian brothers compete in the same category in canoe slalom, and only one can be at the Olympic starting line.
Kaylen, 29, and Lachlan, 26, have been competing in canoe slalom for over a decade. They started through school, a program where they went up to Sydney from their hometown Melbourne. Since then, it's been a passion for the entire family. While their father couldn't make the trip across the pacific for the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in Oklahoma City, their mom was out there as a judge.
And the Bassett's case is not the only one. Not even in Australia.
Paddle Australia also features Olympic medalist-sisters Jessica and Noemie Fox.

Kristi Noem plans to divorce her husband of 34 years, Bryon Noem, her mother said, bringing a public end to a marriage that came under new scrutiny this year after allegations about his private life surfaced in a tabloid investigation.
Corinne Arnold, Noem's mother, told the Daily Mail that the former Homeland Security secretary shared the decision with family members this spring. The revelation comes months after a Daily Mail report alleged Bryon Noem paid adult entertainers and cross-dressed during role-playing encounters, which left the family "blindsided," according to a spokesperson.
"I said: 'What's the deal? Are you going to get together again?' And she said: 'No. No. We're going to get a divorce,'" Arnold told the outlet.

WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is canceling most pending contracts initiated under ousted Secretary Kristi Noem, the ‌current secretary said on Wednesday, a move that follows congressional scrutiny and an internal ‌watchdog review of her contracting practices.

The move is part of a broader effort by Mullin to unwind contracting practices under Noem that drew bipartisan criticism.
"We are looking at the contracts that weren't already signed, and we did go ‌through and cancel most of those," ⁠Mullin said.
