Despotovic to make Sky Blues debut

RANKO Despotovic looks set to make his Sydney FC debut against Wellington this weekend after Frank Farina declared him available for selection.

The Serbian international arrived in Sydney last Sunday and coach Farina believes the striker will fit right into the Sky Blues' plans.

"We'll see how he goes in the next couple of days, but we didn't bring him here to sit around," Farina said.

"He only arrived on Sunday so the travel will affect him, but if he looks okay and gets through training there's every chance he'll play.

"We've got him in because I believe he'll fit into the style we're playing, that will take time obviously. You hope a player settles in straight away, but the reality is it takes time."

With two consecutive home games to come, Sydney are entering into a perfect period to start building on their momentum.

They're already on a roll after winning their last two and they are aiming to make it three in a row against the Phoenix at Allianz Stadium.

"It's consistency I think every team is looking for and we're no different," Farina said.

"If we can get three in a row it helps propel you up the table.

"In theory it's the perfect time. Unfortunately theories are just that, but we'll be working hard to try and achieve points at home. I said at the beginning of the season if you can win 80 per cent of your games at home you've got a very good chance of making the playoffs and finishing high up the table."

Farina will be without the suspended Tiago Calvano and he's ruled out Marc Warren, so it's likely to be the same team that comfortably beat Melbourne Heart 2-0.

"We won't make many changes, if any, to the team that played against the Heart unless there are some injuries. Again it's about consistency and I thought the team played exceptionally well, so at this stage unless we have injuries there won't be any changes."
