With the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season having concluded recently, here is the Sofascore Team of the Season, but it surprisingly doesn’t include any players from champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Masandawana raced to a record-breaking seventh successive DStv Premiership title, breaking the points record of Pitso Mosimane’s Sundowns side from 2015/16.
However, similar to the nominations for the 2024 PSL awards, many players suffered from the rotation Rulani Mokwena needed to implement, with Sundowns fighting for multiple trophies and amounting 57 games across all competitions.
Sofascore rate players performances every game, but to qualify for the Team of the Season you need to have played 60% of the games, which rules many of Mokwena’s men out.
Meanwhile, second-placed Orlando Pirates had three players in the Team of the Season, namely Golden Boot winner Tshegofatso Mabasa (7.24), Patrick Maswanganyi (7.28) and Tapelo Xoki (7.10).
Third-placed Stellenbosch FC had two representatives in Iqraam Rayners (7.23) and Fawaz Basadien (7.10), as many as Cape Town City with Darwin Gonzalez (7.28) and Marc van Heerden (7.18)
Richards Bay’s Sanele Barns as well as Polokwane City’s Thabang Matuludi received the highest average rating of 7.34 by Sofascore, while Jamie Webber (7.24) and Stanley Nwabali (7.30) complete the team.
