DEFENDERS
ASRARUDDIN PUTRA OMAR
After initially sitting out of the first few games, Asraruddin Putra Omar went on to cement his position at left-back for JDT and put in good shifts for the rest of the season. The national defender was not afraid to bomb forward to provide crosses and have occasional shots at goal too – he actually found the back of the net once during a 2-1 defeat to ATM. His best game was arguably against Selangor at the Shah Alam Stadium, where he kept Andik Vermasyah (below) quiet and helped create JDT’s winning goal.
FORWARDS
JORGE PEREYRA DIAZ
When JDT replaced former World Cup star Pablo Aimar with a relatively unknown Argentine named Jorge Pereyra Diaz, even the most faithful Southern Tigers fans would’ve thought TMJ had lost the plot. However, Diaz proved all his doubters wrong as he put on dazzling performances week in, week out. Even though he was only featured in the remaining eight league games of the season, he managed to help himself to eight goals, including a hat-trick in a famous comeback win against Terengganu, and three assists.
LUCIANO FIGUEROA
You know Luciano Figueroa played extremely well when he kept national strikers Norshahrul Idlan Talaha and Safee Sali on the bench. Tireless and hardworking, JDT’s signing from Panathinaikos was without a doubt one of the best buys of the season. His almost telepathic understanding with fellow Argentine Diaz was also a key to his team's league triumph. The former Boca Juniors striker’s 11 league goals could not bag him the Golden Boot honour, but hey, at least he got a Super League medal as a consolation…
