The teams have landed ahead of Round 3 in the Liberty A-League, with an emerging New Zealand international headlining the returning crop ahead of the weekend’s action.
Football Fern Milly Clegg was unable to play for Western Sydney Wanderers through Rounds 1 and 2 due to her status as an international signing under the age of 18. But Clegg’s birthday in midweek means the exciting young forward – who went to the U17, U19 and senior Women’s World Cups in a calendar year – can make her debut in red and black.
Matildas striker Emily Gielnik is named in Melbourne Victory’s squad, while new Wellington Phoenix captain Annalie Longo is in the mix for her first appearance of the season. And after rejoining Western United this week, last season’s Liberty A-League Goalkeeper of the Year Hillary Beall is selected for what could be her first appearance of the 2023-24 season.
Don’t forget to get your fantasy squads ready for battle this weekend, as you catch up with all the team news below.
