They're sitting at the summit with the Premiers' Plate in their sights but Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic has warned the A-League newcomers will be an even bigger force in their second season.

Starting this season as an unknown entity, the Wanderers have become the new benchmark after knocking long-time leaders Central Coast off the top of the ladder with a record-equalling eighth consecutive win at the weekend.

But Popovic is predicting even bigger and better things next season.

With the club hurriedly cobbled together only three months before their A-League debut in October, the Wanderers didn't have the luxury of an entire pre-season as a group - something Popovic says will set them up even better next time around.

"There's still a lot more improvement," Popovic said on Tuesday.
