Try to steer people back in the right direction…
Doesn’t look like there’s any gaps for international windows in the fixtures which could be troubling, especially for the March window. Obviously form dependent, but would likely lose guys to the OFC qualifying tournament like Sail, Waine and Payne, and possibly, if they go well, McGarry, Lewis, Rufer or Old for 2 or more games which would test an already small squad.
Also, Matthew Bozinovski, the guy brought in on loan from the Victory, is a current North Macedonia U21 international, and they have qualifiers in March too, so he could be off to Europe. Piscopo, if he continues his trajectory, could even push Socceroos places as well, so possibly big issues for the March 18th and 26th games.

With the Nix having a heavy back end of home games, the APL may do them a favour over that March window with the A League draw.
Ie a one game bye in that March window with say just one Nix game and then 3 home games in a week or something to follow. I guess Paramount would also have a say in that
