Mavericks will be seeking to extend their winning streak after last match's thumping of Team Uncles. The previous encounter between Mavericks FC and Las Hearutsusu FC ended in a 2-0 victory to the former. A clean sheet isn't impossible for the Outsiders to claim again for the second match-up, however, they're gonna have to work harder to achieve it this time round as LHFC will be undoubtedly stronger.

Mavericks man-to-watch: Chung Wei (no. 8)

Mavericks roving midfielder Chung Wei has been garnering positive reviews from the media over his no-nonsense, energetic displays in his recent performances for the team. He has also proved his versatility countless of times, most recently in the match against Team Uncles, where he played as a defensive midfielder a.k.a The Essien role. Fantasy football players were having a ball of a time, as his match rating of 10 was the highest over the weekend, with the only other "10" belonging to Internazionale's Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored a sublime 2-minute double-salvo over rivals Parma in their 3-2 last-gasp win in the Serie A. Expect another spirited performance in the heart of the Mavericks midfield this Saturday.
