Output in context · Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
5.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.9, Scicluna carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the A-League (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
