5. Enrique Savorit / Maccabi Tel Aviv
The last season was not amazing for the defender and recently also the Spanish stopper, but overall he is one of the best in his positions since he arrived in Israel in the summer of 2018. He then won two consecutive championships with Maccabi Tel Aviv and the state cup once, and since he landed here he has almost always been one of the best in yellow -blue.
Whether it's in questions about defenders or brakes or in questions about defensive defenders or offensive defenders, in foreign metrics and character metrics - Saborit has always had, and still has, a place at the top.
When he is at his peak, he is the best left defender in Israel and one of the best and most influential players in the Premier League.

4. Patrick Twamsi / Maccabi Netanya
The deal to bring Tawamsi from Hannover, a team from the German second division, was closed by Netanya at the last moment of the winter transfer window and through the mediation of Almog Cohen.
His resume was impressive, but the fact that he didn't play for about six months raised some eyebrows in the area of the Poleg exchange.
Already in the first game in the team, in which he scored against Kiryat Shmona, the eyebrows were lowered and the mouth was open.
The Ghanaian striker began to show what he knows, and with the help of speed and strength, and the ability to play with his back to the goal and with his face towards it, he finished the half of the season with 7 goals - three of them against Hapoel BS and one against Maccabi Haifa - which contributed a lot to the fact that Bnei Lam's team Got the ticket to Europe. He will start the upcoming season from the starting line, and he can definitely be one of the most significant players in the league.

3. Ali Muhammad / Maccabi Haifa
There are games where it seems like there are actually several Ali Muhammads on the field.
Sometimes it seems that there are four or five of them covering areas and stealing balls, but the fact that there is only one reminds every time how special and important the 26-year-old midfielder of the Greens is.
Defensively, the Nigerian is at the highest level, and as he showed against the Greek Olympiakos in the Champions League qualifiers, he also raises the level according to the opponent.
His reading of the game is brilliant, he tackles with grace, releases pressure like Pompa, and knows how to manage the tempo.
Offensively he is lacking, despite the pair against Apollon Limassol, but for our league this is a very significant asset.

2. George Jovanovich / Maccabi Tel Aviv
Last season, Jovanovic entered the history of Maccabi Tel Aviv even before he was able to enter the team's lineup. That's how quickly he acclimatized. Even as a substitute, he scored the 2:3 in the derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv, and it was clear that the Yellows have a valuable Serbian diamond by hand
Alongside Stipe Fritza, Jovanovic scored 10 goals in all competitions in just over two months in which he wore the yellow uniform - and excited the fans.
He is cunning, sharp and deadly near the goal, and he is only 23 years old. The expected collaboration with Eran Zahavi generates great curiosity for the upcoming season of Maccabi Tel Aviv and its mighty striker.

1. Charon Sherry / Maccabi Haifa
Charon Sherry's biggest achievement, just before the start of his fourth year in green, is the fact that he is no longer measured by numbers alone.
And it wasn't a bad question - the attacking midfielder had 12 goals and 11 assists in all competitions last season - but his power lies in everything beyond.
Thanks to his special character, as his friends testify, the Dutchman (playing for the Suriname team) managed in the fourth decade of his life to become the leader of Maccabi Haifa, and the one who is able to carry it on his back in moments when the business feels too heavy.
Sherry was there for the Greens in the last straight of last season, and he is able to be there already at the opening whistle of this season.
