Liverpool’s unstoppable run in the Premier League has seen the Reds break a host of records – and they’re on track to break plenty more en route to a first ever EPL crown.

And while Sydney FC’s dominance of the A-League isn’t quite at the same level as the Merseyside giants, Steve Corica’s Sky Blues are also in the middle of one of the most impressive campaigns the A-League has ever witnessed.

Just how far can they go? And – like Liverpool – could we be witnessing the competition’s most dominant season ever?

The current table shows how dominant Sydney are this season.

The state of play:

18 Rounds into the A-League season, Sydney has played 15 matches. Their record is remarkable: 13 wins, one draw and just one loss (to Western Sydney Wanderers in Round 3).

This year, due to the addition of an 11th team, each A-League side will play 26 matches each, meaning there is 11 to go for the Sky Blues.

Since 2011-12, teams have played 27 matches a season. But despite playing one game fewer than previous campaigns, this season’s Sydney side could STILL break plenty of records – especially in their current form.

Here’s just a few.

Most points:

The record for most points accrued in a regular season is 66, achieved by the stellar Sydney FC side of 2016–17.

Today’s Sky Blues have 40 points from 15 games. 26 points are needed from their remaining 11 games – meaning nine wins. Don’t discount that possibility.

With 40 points from 15 games so far, Sydney is averaging 2.67 points per game. At the current rate, that will see them earn 29 more points – beating their old record by a full three points. Again, that’s with a season that is one game shorter than 2016-17!

And, if the unbelievable happens and they win all 11 games, they’ll finish on 73 points – a full seven ahead of the previous record. Now that would be hard to beat.

Most wins:

Sydney have made a habit of winning this season – even when their performances haven’t been dominant.

13 wins from 15 is nothing to laugh at – and the record for most wins is also in their sights.

Both the dominant 2016-17 Sydney team and the Sydney side of 2017-18 achieved 20 wins (having played one more game than the current team will).

This year’s edition need just seven wins from 11 to match that. But could they get eight?

Best home record:

The record for most home points in a season is Brisbane Roar’s 33, achieved twice – in 2010-11 and again in 2013-14.

Sydney have earned a maximum 24 points from their eight home games, having never dropped a point at home this season. With five home games remaining, they could finish on a maximum of 39 points. Wow.

The record for most home wins in a season is currently 10, shared between Roar (2010-11, 2013-14) and Sydney (2016-17). With five games left at home, this team needs to win just two to reach that mark. We’re calling it now: this one is in the bag.

Before that happens, Sydney can also claim the record for the most consecutive home wins. Currently, it’s held by Melbourne Victory with eight (from 21 Nov. 2008 to 28 Feb. 2009). This Sydney side has matched that record, and when they face Wellington Phoenix on 28 Feb., the record is up for grabs.

Best away record:

This record could be a little trickier, given Sydney’s only draw and loss came away from home. Sydney is on 19 away points from a possible 21 (having played seven games on the road).

With six games remaining, Sydney could pick up another 18 points and move to a total of 37 points – beating the current record of 34 points set by Sydney FC in 2014-15.

In terms of wins, the record is ten away from home. WSW achieved that in 2012-13, as did the Sky Blues in 2016-17. With five wins already, and six games remaining, Sydney will be hard pressed to claim this record for themselves.

Fewest defeats:

No team has ever gone undefeated in an A-League campaign – and that’s not going to change this season, thanks to the Wanderers. But only twice has a team lost just one game in a season – Brisbane in 2010-11, and Sydney in 2016-17. Coincidentally, both of those teams lost away from home (just like this year’s Sydney team).

But Sydney could still join those ranks! One record they cannot win is the fewest defeats away from home. Remarkably, Sydney in 2014-15 managed to go the entire campaign undefeated on the road.

Goals scored and conceded:

Sydney is the A-League’s dominant side when it comes to goals.

The most goals in a regular season was the 64 banged in by the Sky Blues in 2017-18. That season saw Bobo score a truly ridiculous 27 goals, while Adrian Mierzejewski popped up with a more-than-handy 13.

This season the Sky Blues have already poached 34 from 15 games – averaging 2.27 goals scored per game. If they continue at that rate, Sydney will score 25 more times – taking their total to 59 for the season. Even an additional game (to equal the number of games played by the 2017-18 team) wouldn’t be enough to match the record.

In terms of a defensive record, Sydney has already conceded more goals than the record-holding 2016-17 Sydney side that conceded only 12 goals all season. After 15 games, Sydney has conceded 13 times – not that it’s been too much of an issue!

Record points margin:

Sydney is 10 points ahead of Melbourne City in second, but with two games in hand over the Victorian rivals.

They are also 11 points ahead of Perth, but with one game in hand.

The record for the greatest points margin is 17, held by the 2016-17 Sydney side (that season, Victory finished second on 49 points, intriguingly having lost more games than the sixth-placed WSW).

With 11 games to play, it’s certainly possible. City have been plagued by inconsistency, but they don’t have the added burden of the Asian Champions League to worry about.

Perth, on the other hand, started poorly but have rocketed from last on the table after Round 8 all the way back to third, playing the kind of football that took them to the Premiership last season. Maybe Glory have given up their hopes of going back-to-back this regular season – but they won’t want to let Sydney run away with the title and break the competition’s biggest-ever points margin.

Summary:

Most points, biggest points margin, most wins, fewest losses, fewest home losses, most home points, most away points, most home wins, most away wins, most consecutive home wins.

That’s TEN major records that we believe Sydney could match or break this season.

If they can break most (or all) of them, it would be hard to argue against calling this Sydney side the A-League’s greatest team ever. Sure, you could look at Ange Postecoglou’s Brisbane Roar which won three Championships in four years from 2010-11 to 2013-14. But in terms of an individual season, this Sydney team could beat the lot.

Here’s what coach Steve Corica thinks. “We want to extend that (10-point gap) as much as possible because there’s a lot of games coming in April,” he said.

“The sooner we can try and wrap up the Premiership Plate the better.

“I still think we can get better, there’s games we’ve won where we haven’t been at our best, which is a great sign.”

If that comes true, who knows just how good this Sky Blues side can be?

But while those records are nice, but there’s one thing that matters far more than the stats: the Premiership and the Championship.

Sydney missed out on the former last year but claimed the latter. They’re runaway favourites for the Premiership this season – but can they claim the Championship too?

If they do manage to do the double, there’s two more records they’ll claim for themselves – most Premierships (currently three, equal with Melbourne Victory), and most Championships (currently four, equal with Victory).

They should be the only records on their minds.
