Swibel and tillio to miss out?
I’d assume so, yeah. Flottman will be good cover at the back.
@Hybrid - I didn’t even see that! Superb!
For those who might be wondering, Nux’s new signing Hooper is not available for this game.
So good to see Zuvela back

FC 4 …a brace from kosta,Alf(penalty) Brattan screamer!..Nux 1(var mistake)
As long as we keep that fluidity in attack from moments last week then I think we’re good for a win. Uffie will be planning a counter-attacking game most likely, expecting them to be disciplined at the back.
I’m pretty keen for our first seven man bench.

I could swear that Wayne Pearce sign hasn’t always been sky blue.
WP is sky blue every ORigin week,the rest he’s grey!
I’ve put up the first of the previews for this season on the front of site:
No surprises in our line-up I think, and here’s how I think we will set up:

Wins: 21 (55.3%)
Draws: 4 (10.5%)
Losses: 13 (34.2%)
Sydney FC record at Leichhardt Oval

5 occasions: 4/1/12, 6/10/12, 20/12/14, 12/03/16, 8/12/18*
*Note: We did lose by 3 goals in a pre-season cup match in 2007-08 but I do not count this as a competitive fixture.

Key Statistics
- Sydney FC have scored in the last 11 games against Wellington, but in 7 of those games Sydney only scored 1 goal.
- Steve Corica now has 30 league games in charge of the club (including his two games as caretaker) – his record is 17 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. This gives him a 57% win percentage in league games, which is exactly the same as Graham Arnold finished with.
- Adam Le Fondre is now 5th on the overall Sydney FC all-time goalscoring charts with 25 goals, after overtaking Alessandro Del Piero and David Carney in the previous game.
Note: Appearances and goals only include league games, finals, FFA Cup, OFC and AFC Champions League and Club World Cup.
