Ben Folami (Ipswich Town)

Little-known Sydney-born teenager who broke into the Ipswich first team late in the Championship last season and has plenty of promise. The 19-year-old is a forward, which is Australia's problem area. He didn't score in his five first-team appearances for the Tractor Boys last term but didn't look out of pace. He has pace and plays direct, can play wide or up front. Remember this name.

Brandon Borrello (Kaiserslautern)

The ex-Brisbane Roar winger is currently sidelined after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in April. That injury will affect his Asian Cup aspirations but he has made good early progress and if he can get back in October or November, he's a chance for selection having displayed excellent form for Kaiserslautern in Germany's 2.Bundesliga earlier this year. Kaiserslautern's relegation to the third tier means his future is up in the air with links to SC Freiburg and Hamburg SV.

Ajdin Hrustic (FC Groningen)

He's a youngster playing regularly in the Dutch top flight but his name seldom gets mentioned. Hrustic, who turned 22 on Thursday, can play on the wing but settled into the number eight with Groningen in the second half of last season, when he was a regular starter. That's a position full of competition in the Socceroos squad, including Tom Rogic, Jackson Irvine and Massimo Luongo, but the youngster has versatility which could be handy.
