There may still be a few games to go until the end of the PSL season, but I’ve put together a team of the season to check out. Two Orlando Pirates stars have stood shead and shoulders above the rest of the Buccaneers, while you can take your pick from the Sundowns squad. How many Kaizer Chiefs stars have been included?

Two Pirates players, four from Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs fail to impress
In a classic, old-school 4-4-2 shape, the outstanding Monnapule Saleng provides the width on the right with Cape Town City’s in-demand Khanyisa Mayo on the other flank. A two-pronged attack of Iqraam Rayners and Peter Shalulile is enough to frighten most PSL defenders. So, which guys almost made it and are included amongst the substitutes?

Left back is a bit of a problem in the top tier of South African football, clearly. Who have I left out of this selection? Please hit me up in the comments though.
