With the A-Leagues expansion to 10 teams next season will the number of teams who enter the playoffs increase? Say to 5 or 6? Or will it stay at 4?

I reckon it'll be a Top 8!

I think it will still be top four, until it expans to around 12 or 14 then you will see maybe 6 play off spots(like the english super league)

Top 4 makes the finals series that more of a target that only a few get to, as opposed to half the league going through as has been the story for the past 4 years. 8 teams with 4 in the finals makes sense, as does 10 teams with 4 in the finals. If increasing the finals series spaces each time their is an expansion is what the FFA plan, then we might as well just include the entire league in a finals series!
