Wanderers v Phoenix Match details: Sunday 5pm, Pirtek Stadium Shinji Ono Wanderers The Japanese star was surprisingly left out of the first 11 against the Mariners last week and his absence for the first hour exposed a lack of creativity in the Wanderers. Few players in the history of the A-League boast the skills of Ono, who can unlock defences with a single touch. Tomi Juric The powerful striker marked his entrance at the club with a goal on debut to salvage a late draw against Central Coast. He will likely make his first start at Pirtek Stadium against the Phoenix. Tall, mobile and technically gifted, Juric will flourish if given the service an all-star cast of midfielders promises to provide. Jeremy Brockie The target man returns from international duty and if deemed fit, will start as the spearhead of their attack. Brockie is one of the A-League's best marksmen. Mateo Poljak The industrious midfielder sits at the heart of the Wanderers well-disciplined tactical structure and is one of the driving forces in their ability to make quick transitions from defence to attack. Carlos Hernandez The Costa Rican has the ability to change a game in the final minute, even when he's been missing in action for the 89 minutes beforehand, so it's worth keeping a close eye on him. Hernandez has a great passing range, natural flair and creativity that can torment the Wanderers' defence. Tomi Juric (Wanderers) v Andrew Durante (Phoenix) The return of Durante to the heart of the Phoenix defence offers much-needed stability, but that will be tested by the 22-year-old Wanderers centre forward, who showed why he is so highly rated with his goal on debut against the Mariners. Popovic has pressure on all fronts amid speculation surrounding his potential move to the national team and the huge expectation to perform in front of the first of many bumper crowds this season. He may hand defender Matthew Spiranovic his club debut. Ernie Merrick The new Wellington coach has a point to prove to some in the A-League after his end to life with Melbourne Victory. He came close to causing an upset in round one against Brisbane Roar with a heavily depleted squad. The return of four international players boosts his depth for one of the hardest games of their season.
