SA⚽TxT's DStv Premiership team of the season.

The 2022/23 season has come and gone, with the Nedbank Cup final and the relegation/promotion players the only remaining activities on its calendar. 

As with every season, once again a few players stood out in this campaign, and this writer took time to select what he believes is the best eleven for 2022/23.

Formation: 4-2-1-3 

Goalkeeper: Ronwen Williams 

Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper, Williams, had a great season after his move from SuperSport United was questioned by a lot of football pundits. 

With Denis Onyango having made the Sundowns number one spot his own, Williams was expected to keep the bench warm. 

Instead, Williams is in the running for the player of the season award, and he is definitely the goalkeeper of the season. 

Right-Back: Khuliso Mudau 

If you want a number two who can go up and down the line all day long, Mudau is your man. 

The Sundowns number two doesn't only march up and down the line with ease, his tackling in dangerous one v one situations is superb. 

Left-Back: Riaan Hanamub 

AmaZulu FC might find it hard to hold on to their number three for long. 

Like Mudau, Hanamub has all the attributes one looks for in a fullback, the speed, contributing both in attack and defence, and one v one defending skills to boast. 

Center-Half: Nkosinathi Sibisi 

Orlando Pirates have themselves a top defender in Sibisi. 

If you want a lethal striker to be bottled for 90 minutes, Sibisi is your man. 

His defender of the season nomination is testimony to his huge contribution to Bucs' rock solid defence this season. 

Center-Half: Given Msimango 

Msimango was a revelation for TS Galaxy this season.  like Sibisi, his contribution in Galaxy's excellent defensive record has not gone unnoticed, with a Bafana call-up, a defender of the season nomination, and a move to Kaizer Chiefs his due rewards. 

Pivot-One: Tebogo Mokoena 

With Andile Jali's future uncertain at Mamelodi Sundowns, Mokoena took the opportunity presenting itself with both hands, and showed the stuff he is made of when it comes to playing the holding midfield role. 

And he has done so with aplomb, a midfielder of the season award is loading. 

Pivot-Two: Miguel Timm 

Timm has been a revelation for Orlando Pirates this season, cleaning up in front of their defence, as well as initiating attacks with his wide range of passing abilities. 

You only have to listen to Pirates supporters when he touches the ball to understand the impact he has made. Another worthy contender for the midfielder of the season award, which unfortunately, he didn't get. 

Number-Ten: Themba Zwane 

For this particular role, Mshishi has no peers at the moment, he keeps maturing like fine wine. 

He didn't have the best of seasons, yet he made enough of an impact to earn a midfielder of the season nomination. 

Center-Forward: Peter Shalulile 

The Namibian assassin came back from a lengthy injury lay-off to claim his throne as a leading goal poacher in the league, although he has some company this time around, in Khanyisa Mayo. 

Left-Wing-Forward: Cassius Mailula 

Mailula was another revelation for Manelodi Sundowns this season. 

His goals and assists in the DStv Premiership and the CAF Champions League earn him a selection ahead of joint top goal scorer, Khanyisa Mayo. 

I see you Khanyisa, I see you. The second half is all yours! 

Right-Wing-Forward: Monnapule Saleng 

15 goals, nine assists, numerous man of the match awards. 

Need I say more? Except that for a man with such small shoulders, Saleng sure did carry a heavy load that is Orlando Pirates this season, without tiring!! 

Head-Coach: Rulani Mokwena 

First-Assistant: Jose Riveiro 

Third-Assistant: Gavin Hunt
