Is Verstraete the Best in the League? Mata Magic & Wanderers Pressure | Total A-Leagues Ep 11

Total A-Leagues Episode 11 breaks down a huge week across the competition.

Vince Rugari, Tommy Oar and Daniel McBreen debate whether Auckland have the best player in the league, the fairness of the pressure on Wanderers boss Alen Stajcic, and how Melbourne Victory can best capitalise on Juan Mata’s brilliance.

Nalin Mastou joins the panel for a special A-League New Year’s Resolutions segment — including the most entertaining team, most improved player, best signing, and the true dark horses to win it all in 2025.

All that plus Round 9’s best moments, Auckland’s rise to the top, Sydney FC’s injury heartbreak, Box Office Jets flying again, and Matthew Grimaldi on scoring for his boyhood club.
