  • Sipho Chaine, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    GOLKEEPER: Sipho Chaine

  • Kamogelo Sebelebele of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    RIGHT-BACK: Kamogelo Sebelebele

    The 23-year-old versatile player has been putting up a decent shift in this position and might be retained in the forthcoming Cup assignment.   

  • Deon Hotto, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    LEFT-BACK: Deon Hotto

    The experienced Namibian is a utility player who has proven his worth time and time again. He was solid last weekend against Lupopo in the CAF Champions League outing.

  • Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Mbekezeli Mbokazi

    The Bucs' vice-captain has his place intact owing to his solid performance. The question has always been who is going to partner the Bafana centre-back.   

  • Lebone Seema of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Lebone Seema

    It seems like he is now the preferred partner to Mbekezeli after assuring performances in recent games.   

  • Sihle Nduli, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Sihle Nduli

    In the absence of the 35-year-old Makhehleni Makhaula, Nduli continues to provide cover for the back four.  

  • Banele Mnguni, Polokwane City & Masindi Nemtajela, Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Masindi Nemtajela

    Nemtajela is growing in confidence with each game; the strike against Lupopo will definitely further motivate him.  

  • Patrick Maswanganyi, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Patrick Maswanganyi

    The skillful player could get the nod ahead of Sipho Mbule following his Man of the Match display against Polokwane City last week.

  • Tshepang Moremi of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    LEFT ATTACKER: Tshepang Moremi

    The speedster netted his sixth goal of the season against Polokwane and earned Bucs a 1-0 victory.

  • Oswin Appollis of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Oswin Appollis

    Well, he's currently arguably the most in-form Pirates winger. 

  • Evidence Makgopa, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Evidence Makgopa

    Yanela Mbuthuma did well when he was introduced against Lupopo, but currently, Makgopa is the main man and he should make his return to the team.
