Like many big clubs in Europe the recruitment and team roster was finalised early.

Iva Perovanovic who had had an excellent season for the club but had been unable to play in the French Cup final moved to CCC Polkowice in Poland.

Perovanic appears to have recovered from the injury that saw her leaving EuroBasket Women 2011 on a stretcher. Alicia Poto, the other player to miss the cup final, returned to Australia and plays for Sydney Uni Flames alongside Belinda Snell (former Bourges Basket player).

Cup final MVP Ines Ajanovic who replaced Raven Brittainey during the season also moved to Poland. She plays at Lotos Gdynia with Géraldine Robert and Jolene Anderson.

The only other player to leave was Cyrielle Hugues (La Tronche - Meylan NF1).

The new players are:

Edwige Lawson-Wade (in picture) (Ros Casares - Spain), Kristen Mann (Charleville-Mézières - LFB), Stephany Skrba (Aris Thessaloniki - Greece) and Diandra Tchatchouang (Maryland - NCAA).

Mathilde Roche (Lattes-Montpellier-Espoir) has been promoted from the basketball academy to the professional roster.

The LFB roster should include two other players from the basketball academy who maintain their amateur status: Léa Blatrie and Justine Barthelemy.

The full roster for 2011-2012 is:

Justine Barthelemy, Léa Blatrie, Virginie Brémont, Sandra Dijon-Gérardin, Edwige Lawson-Wade, Ana Lelas, Kristen Mann, Mathilde Roche, Fatimatou Sacko, Stephany Skrba, Gaëlle Skrela and Diandra Tchatchouang.
