WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS

Ins:

Sarah Willacy, Olivia Price, Teigan Collister

Outs:

Alex Huynh, Cortnee Vine, Denise O'Sullivan, Lynn Williams, Jada Mathyssen-Whyman, Rachel Lowe

The big question(s):

Will Kristen Hamilton return and will Kyra Cooney-Cross break out and become the league's biggest Aussie star? 

Confirmed squad:

Courtney Newbon, Caitlin Cooper, Danika Matos, Courtney Nevin, Georgia Yeoman-Dale, Rosie Galea, Chloe Middleton, Susan Phonsongkham

Analysis:

It's going to be another very interesting season for the Red and Black faithful.

The positives are clear: they now have a really experienced, promising coaching set up in Dean Heffernan, Michael Beauchamp and Catherine Cannuli and the facilities to match. They lost key young stars to their direct rivals, but replaced them really promisingly - Willacy's signing in particular an absolute steal. They've also managed to re-sign a solid portion of last season's squad early on.

But we saw last season that when Williams and O'Sullivan departed, the Wanderers lost their mojo. Add Alex Huynh's Napoli move to that equation and there are still big question marks hanging over Wanderers.

But question marks that admittedly, would have been a luxury for the Western Sydney of old.

Last season's squad:

Jada Whyman (GK), Courtney Nevin, Susan Phonsongkham, Alex Huynh, Alix Roberts, Amy Harrison, Sam Staab, Lynn Williams, Kristen Hamilton, Denise O'Sullivan, Leena Danaskos, Erica Holloway, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Cortnee Vine, Vesna Milivojevic, Abby Smith
