The Western Sydney Wanderers will be heading into season X with plenty of expectations.
The previous nine years have been a rollercoaster for any fan wearing Red and Black, but the last four have been spent at the bottom of the ride.

Ibini scored a double while new recruit Cortnee Vine added another in Wednesday s 3-0 romp at Bankwest Stadium.
Losing local stars Caitlin Foord, Chloe Logarzo and Alanna Kennedy, as well as a trio of internationals for the 2020-21 season, the Sky Blues had every reason to be a little rusty in their opener.
But the three-pronged attack of last season s Golden Boot winner Remy Siemsen, Vine and Ibini proved more than a handful, suggesting a fifth grand final in six seasons would certainly remain an early goal for the club.
The Sky Blues made much of the initial running as Ibini in particular caused headaches for the Wanderers right-side defence.
