/Karka 8, 2078, m249
From left to right: Uday Lanka (#7 Immortals Captain), Arwa Farra (#18 Al’amal SC), and Darkeem Dennis (#7 Europa United)
Rolling into the 9th week of play, the field of top scoring players are the familiar stars from season one – with a few notable absentees including Stephen Liu (Comets) and Musaddiq Baddour (Al’amal) . With an obvious disconnect between scoring leaders and team standings, it will be interesting to observe how things play out and which players are resilient enough to stay on top.
Uday Lanka
9 Goals
1 Assist
With 240 minutes of play so far, Lanka continues to be uphold his reputation in the MAFL, despite the Immortals sitting at the bottom on the rankings. Lanka has scored 64% of all Immortal goals this season and appears on track to beat his Season 1 record of 16 goals over 21 regular season matches. If the Immortals continue to struggle, can Lanka keep scoring?

Darkeem Dennis

Dennis has proven his worth after failing to get significantly contribute after joining Europa United midway through seasons one.

Qigang Lian
6 Goals
3 Assists
Lian has been transformed after joining Tiangong Wuji in the off-season. With a measly 2 goals all of season one, Dong Ji should have been cheering at his exit. Now sitting alongside Readale Nash as 3rd highest scorer in the league, he’s clearly found his game.

Readale Nash
6 Goals
0 Assists
The young gun, Nash, continues to be the San Olympus Titans best performer despite struggling with personal demons. He is on track to equal or best his 11 goal first season, that is, if he is able to keep it together. His arrogance and tendencies to lash out at teammates hasn’t won him any friends, however, he remains the Titans best hope for getting back on top.

Ilya Petrovich
5 Goals
1 Assists
Dynamo Captain, Petrovich, has been instrumental in the club’s early domination in season 2. He is on track to crush his 7 goal first season with 5 goals in hand well before mid-point of the season. If Petrovich and his fellow forwards continue scoring, Dynamos can make a serious run for the championship.
