A graphic showing the title chances for every team in the Unofficial A-League Men Championship. If Sydney win, they’ll be champs and Auckland can still take the title in the regular season. Newcastle will await the finals draw to see if/when they’ll compete for the title. Adelaide, Mariners, Macarthur, City, Victory & Wellingtons hopes depend on if they make the top 6 and for Brisbane, Perth & Wanderers it’ll be all over for the season. Much simpler if Perth retain the title this weekend. Brisbane can take it from them next week, and every other team will have to wait until next season, neither team can make finals.
A graphic showing the scenarios of the Unofficial A-League Men Championship for the next 3 weeks. If Sydney win, they’ll play Auckland next week. Following that the title will either appear in in Finals Week 1 or 2, depending on how the ladder ends up, but based on the ladder today, it is more likely that if Sydney hold the title we will see the Championship in Finals Week 1 (Elimination Final), whilst if Auckland are holding it, we will have to wait until the Semi Finals start in Finals Week 2. If Perth retain the title, they’ll play Brisbane next week and the winner of that game will be the Unofficial Champion at the end of the season, neither team can play in finals.

With Newcastle guaranteed a spot in finals, no matter the result between Perth and Macarthur, they will have a chance to take the title in the finals. The opposite can be said for the Wanderers, who can’t win the title this season. For everyone else: If Perth win, Auckland, Brisbane & Sydney are still in with a chance, whilst Adelaide, Mariners, Macarthur, City, Victory & Wellington would need to make finals to have a shot at taking the title. If Macarthur retain the title, Adelaide, City & Wellington are still in with a chance, whilst Auckland, Brisbane, Mariners, Victory & Sydney would need to make finals. It’s technical, but Perth would need at least a point otherwise they can’t make finals and wouldn’t be in with a chance.
