AFC Leopards striker Alex Orotamal leads Kenyan Premier League Team of the Week
- Goal Kenya.
#1 Goalkeeper: Emase Eliud - Thika United
Despite not training for the best part of last week, Gor Mahia aimed at getting maximum points against struggling Thika United. Emase was exceptional at the back, commanding his defenders well and was rewarded with a clean sheet.
- Goal Kenya.
#2 Right back: Jockins Atudo - Posta Rangers
He has not been doing well of late, committing mistakes that have cost his team on several occasions. However, despite being on the losing end, Atudo did well to ensure his department was not a highway for AFC Leopards wingers.

- Goal Kenya.
#3 Left back: Isaac Kipyegon - Zoo Kericho
Playing against a very fast side is never a walk in the park for fullbacks. Kipyegon handled the Bandari attackers well, helping in attack as well when a chance came by in 1-1 draw on Sunday.
- Goal Kenya.
#4 Center back: Pascal Ogweno - Sharks
The defender used his body well and calmed the proceedings at the back with ease. Won most of the aerial balls as his team registered a 5-2 win against a poor Nakumatt side.

- Goal Kenya.
#5 Center back - Benjamin Oketch - Homeboyz
Is Homeboyz too small for him? He literally run the show against Nzoia Sugar; a no nonsense defender, who did everything to ensure he stopped the opponents’ from attacking and made his aerial presence felt.
- Goal Kenya.
#6 Defensive midfielder: Ongoma - Ulinzi Stars
Wazito were desperate for maximum points against Ulinzi Stars and they channeled most of the attacks from the midfield. However, Ongoma was there to stop them and protect the back four as the soldiers claimed a 1-0 win.
- Goal Kenya.
#7 Holding/creative midfielder: Omotto - Sharks
He was the reason why Kariobangi Sharks did an excellent job against Nakumatt at the Camp Toyoyo. Omotto controlled the proceedings in the midfield with ease, creating chance after chance for the winners.
- Goal Kenya.
#8 Creative Midfielder: Madoya - Zoo Kericho
They call him 'Kadogo Kabaya' and he showed his best against the Dockers on Sunday. When all seemed lost, Madoya was there to strike late and give his team a much needed point against the in-form Bandari.

- Goal Kenya.
#9 Left offensive: Erick Kapaito - Sharks
It was his day! The former FC Talanta forward ran the show against Nakumatt and was rewarded with a hat-trick. The defenders literally were unable to stop this man on his tracks.
- Goal Kenya.
#10 Center Forward: Orotamal – AFC Leopards
Arguably his best performance in an Ingwe jersey. With most attackers missing owing to injuries, the Nigerian was handed a striking role and he did well by hitting a brace, the second goal against Posta Rangers was something else!
- Goal Kenya.
#11 Right offensive: Moses Mudavadi - Homeboyz
Another player, who shone this weekend for his team. He created several chances from the wing, finishing two as well and helping the Paul Nkata coached side claim maximum points.
