The Suns' best 22 isn't too dissimilar to last year and that's the way it needs to be. Gone are the days of large turnover and adding players to the list for the sake of being competitive. Every player now is there for a purpose, the Suns need to get games into these kids and allow this group to build continuity and cohesion.

Rory Atkins slots in and adds some valuable experience with Brandon Ellis on the wings, while the rest of their midfield group remains quite young.
