Man-to-watch(Mavericks): Jiun Wei

Midfield general, Kee Siang, who is out on a season-long loan to NTU-Hall-Eleven United F C till February next year, may be recalled early to help ease the injury crisis that had plagued the Mavericks' centre midfielders like Seng Yew and Boon Leng, who had both picked up an injury last week. Should negotiations for a premature termination of the loan deal break down, veteran right-back Jiun Wei, who is equally adept at central defence, and who have performed well by claiming 2 assists and a goal in recent matches, may be given a rare start in the heart of the midfield, as a holding man.

The draw against Team Uncles was one disappointment as Mavericks failed in its third successive attempt to gain an advantage over the stalwarts in a tightly-contested match. Mavericks will definitely be eager to forget last week's disappointment by defeating Balooku away from home.

Although the Outsiders will be playing at a unfamiliar timing at 9am (as requested by opponents), the expected new black Mavericks jersey's showcase will definitely boost squad morale nonetheless. Expect a wave of black warriors sweeping across the field on Saturday!
