Total Football Analysis Breakout XI for 2025 includes eight ‘alternates’/’bench players’ who almost made the cut for a full scouting report in the magazine.
Those players will still be covered with a mini-data analysis.
Our sub left centre-back is Dylan Leonard of Western United.
One of the brightest young defenders playing in the A-League is Western United’s 17-year-old centre-back, Dylan Leonard.
Leonard is a right-footed left centre-back and the youngest Western United squad player.
The below visualisation highlights where Leonard ranks for some key metrics when compared with the other left-sided centre-backs who play in the A-League and other similar leagues.
Leonard’s biggest strength is his ability on the ball.
He is very composed and not hesitant to take risks in possession, considering his age.
