Riley McGree (Melbourne City)

Still only a teenager, the midfielder shot to global fame with his remarkable scorpion goal in the A-League finals for Newcastle last term. However, he'd already previously received a Socceroos call-up as a 18-year-old, before landing a move to Belgian powerhouse Club Brugge. His loan spell at the Jets was impressive offering an attacking threat, midfield composure and something different, being left sided. He's joined City on loan this season where he could shine.

Brandon O'Neill (Sydney FC)

A left-field choice, but the central midfielder is a chance given the futures of Milligan and Jedinak, who play similar roles, are uncertain. Working also in his favour is his relationship with Arnold from their time together at Sydney FC where O'Neill developed into a first choice midfielder in a title-winning side. Still only 24, but has reportedly attracted interest also from Republic of Ireland.
