Sofascore PSL Team Of The Season, No Downs Stars

, ,

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

Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker says it won’t be easy for clubs to sign Iqraam Rayners and Jayden Adams. Rayners was linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Abha Club in the January transfer window, while Mamelodi Sundowns have opened talks over Jayden Adams.
