Western Sydney Wanderers

Wanderers had disappointing last campaign that saw coach Babbel needing time to adjust to the demands and technicalities of the A-League. Also the team was abandoned by luck in terms of injuries last term. All-in-all Babbel didn’t do very well and this made it easy for him to undertake major restructuring of the team in the summer. As many as 5 regulars and similar amount of supporting players left, but some quality new signings were made and Wanderers look really strong on paper. To address the defensive issues Babbel brought in new goalkeeper, 2 new centre-backs and versatile full-back Georgievsky that can play equally well on both flanks. When one adds to that the fact that marquee player Ziegler stayed and is ready for use after missing the entire last season injured Wanderers are bound to improve defensively. Up front things also look exciting with the signing of the 36-year-old goal machine Alexander Meier. Despite his age the prolific striker remains fierce force in front of goal and with willing runners like Duke, Kamau and Yeboah around him the front line also looks formidable. To add to all that Schwegler comes with rich Bundesliga experience to his name and is set to provide anchor role, while after 2 years of struggles in China the ex-Sydney FC superstar Majewski returns to the A-League and if he reaches the same efficiency as during his first spell in Australia Wanderers would be almost unstoppable.
