Masandawana’s midfield kingpin Teboho Mokoena occupies first position after his new market value spiked by €300,000 to €2.4 million. Marcello Allende comes in at joint-first, also at €2.4 million, though his value only increased by €100,000.

Attacking duo, Peter Shalulile and Matias Esquivel, are at spots number three and four, respectively, with a value of €2.0 million having both experienced a decrease of -€200,000, while Lucas Ribeiro also from Sundowns, and in fifth place, has seen his value rise to €1.8 million, having peaked by a massive €600,000.

It’s no surprise to see Stellenbosch FC striker Iqraam Rayners in the mix and at number six after a stellar season with the Cape Winelands side. The Bafana Bafana striker’s value increased by €500,000 and now stands at €1.8 million.

Position number seven is Tashreeq Matthews who joined Sundowns during the January transfer window. His value remains unchanged at €1.8 million, while his teammate in eighth place Aubrey Modiba’s value increased by €200,000 to €1.6 million.

Patrick Maswanganyi, the most nominated player at this year’s end-of-the-season PSL awards, is the only representative from league runners-up Orlando Pirates, and comes in at spot number nine. Despite his market value only being €1.4 million, ‘Tito’ experienced the biggest jump with €650,000.

Cape Town City frontman Khanyisa Mayo completes the list, coming in at the number 10 spot with an increase of €200,000 to €1.4 million.
