Target
Melbourne City’s early months will be influenced by the absence of their biggest asset Fornaroli but, if they are to remain in contention until he recovers, the Sky Blues can hope for more silverware in their cabinet this season. That said, it is much more likely for them to finish just outside the top two positons yet again.
