The midfield will be marshalled by Hulu Mulikyi, Rwothomiyo Innocent, Okello Richard and Achidi Simon of BUL FC, Police FC’s Ojok Junior and Okello Moris of Young Elephants.
Upfront, the goalscoring burden rests on NEC FC duo Ajo Emmanuel and Oketa Ivan, Police FC’s Ojara Denis, Otim Oscar of Blacks Power, Abonga Dominic of Kigezi FC and SC Villa’s Gumperom Isaac.
