Mothobi Mvala – $200k

Mamelodi Sundowns are a star-studded side. Testament to the fact is how the central midfielder Mothobi Mvala, a fierce and imposing player, has to fight for a place. The coaches rotate some key midfielders, forcing six players to essentially compete for 4 places.

In 2021, he has been considered “undroppable” for his aggressive, instinctive, and tenacious style. He is not adored by fans because of this, but he is loved by coaches. A player without fear? Absolute gold. No wonder Mvala has come to wear the green and gold jersey for his national side.
