ToggleFarizal Marlias (Johor Darul Ta'zim)
On the wrong side of 30 but it doesn't look like age is a factor for Farizal after yet another sterling display between the sticks in the first half of the season. Started 12 of the 13 Super League matches for the reigning champions and have only conceded six goals in the process, one of which was a penalty to Sabah's Levy Madinda.
Seven clean sheets in those matches meant that Farizal has beaten and battered away opponents in more than half of the matches that JDT have been involved in. Showing no signs of slowing down, Farizal more than cemented his place as the undisputed number goalkeeper in the country with his display this season.

La'Vere Corbin-Ong (Johor Darul Ta'zim)
Continuing from his remarkable 2020 season, Corbin-Ong is the epitome of consistency that has seen him appear and played every single minute of JDT's season thus far, keeping them at the very top of the Super League table and part of the best defensive unit in the league.
From the 13 matches played, he has only been shown the yellow card twice which showed that this marauding left back uses his physical prowess to overpower his direct opponents and teams very seldom get much joy down his side of the pitch.
- Johor Southern Tigers
Mauricio (Johor Darul Ta'zim)
The leader of the JDT defence that has been their bedrock of their return to the summit of the Super League, this season has shown the big Brazilian's influence and importance to the Southern Tigers.
His towering presence was sorely missed midway through the Terengganu game as well as the subsequent one against Kuala Lumpur City. Offering not only his aerial capabilities, Mauricio's presence in the defence brings about calm to those next to him and as a unit, JDT's defence becomes much better when he's on the pitch.
- Terengganu FC
Muhammad Mohd Faudzi (Terengganu)
A centre back on the rise that has received plenty of accolades this season in helping Terengganu be a title challenger to JDT, it was his performance against the reigning champions that showed just why head coach Nafuzi Zain put plenty of faith in the 25-year-old.
Strong and robust in his style of play, Muhammad has also produced a good partnership alongside Carli de Murga in the heart of Terengganu's defence to be more of a sweeper, constantly mopping up behind de Murga.
