Ryan gives Australia a tournament-tested organiser in goal, setting the defensive line and keeping the team calm during long pressure spells.

Souttar changes Australia's box defence with height, set-piece reach, and the ability to clear repeated direct attacks.

Irvine links the pressing and possession phases, giving Australia a high-work-rate midfielder who can arrive late in the box.

Bos gives Australia a left-side runner who can advance the ball from deep, overlap, and turn conservative phases into territory.

Irankunda adds Australia's most direct wide threat, attacking isolated defenders with pace and early shooting confidence.

Volpato gives Australia a technical interior option, useful between lines when the match calls for cleaner final-third combinations.
