Of shinguards and boots...

Bukit Merah, whom ended MacPherson's stranglehold on the Premier League title, are returning this season to defend their crown. Bidding to be the next club to win back-to-back titles, they will be taking to the field with a squad of new faces, being the graduates of their junior teams. Meanwhile, the other clubs are gearing up to mount serious challenges to the 2 title holders with scouting duties from neighbourhoods and players who have been overlooked in schools.

The rest of the league will also see new faces, amongst them many players from the respective clubs' U-14 teams, whom have blossomed into budding youth talents.

Perhaps the most exciting news for this season would be players finally lacing up and taking to the field. That is affirmative, the league will embark on it's first field challenge as the format will take shape in the form of 7-a-side football, having previously groomed young players in skills development from Street Soccer and Futsal.

Tactics and formations will be taking centrestage.

Only the shrewdest decisions on-field will see the most consistent club emerge as this year's Premier League Champion.
