After missing the finals last season, coach Frank Farina has swept a broom through his Sydney squad, with nine players heading out and seven new faces joining the club.
Garcia headlines an impressive batch of new recruits including defenders Pedj Bojic, Nikola Petkovic, Matt Jurman and Marc Warren as well as Corey Gameiro and Nicky Carle.
"Hopefully we can get off to a good start," Garcia said ahead of Friday night's season opener against Newcastle
"(But) we're still gelling as a team and still figuring out how each other plays.
"It might take some time ... but we're pretty head strong. We've got a good group here so we're fired up for round one.
"We want to start with a bang and win every game, especially at home.
"We want to be more consistent, that's something we lacked last season so this season it's been something that's been in our minds to make sure our home form is very good."
"It's been tough but that's why we've got good squad depth and everyone that comes in is more than capable," Garcia said.
"That's a problem for the coaching staff, there's a lot of competition for places.
"Some guys a getting a chance now and it's a fantastic thing to have at a club, especially when you do get a few injuries."
Asked his goals for the season, the former Melbourne Heart attacker said: "Just to do better than last year.
"I want to score more goals, be more creative and to play finals football.
"We've got a good bunch of guys here, they've all taken me in so it's been good."
