[2] Additionally, they triumphed in the Waratah Cup, defeating Manly United 1–0 in the final. [3]
Nevertheless, Sydney United encountered a setback in the NPL NSW Grand Final, where they were defeated 3–0 by Blacktown City. [4] They also faced an earlier loss to Blacktown City in the FFA Cup, with a score of 6–2 in the Round of 32. [5]
Chris Payne topped the league's goalscoring charts with 22 goals in 21 games. All in all, he scored 33 goals in all competitions. [6]
While Tomislav Uskok, Panni Nikas, Chris Payne and Thomas Manos made the 2016 NPL NSW Team of the Year. [7]
