Transfer window has closed and players have already featured for their district. While underdogs Nasinu and Tavua are doing wonders while on the other side Rewa is struggling for form and there seem to be disharmony amongst players.
We here look at the top 10 players to look out for in this season’s Fiji soccer tournaments.

Napolioni Qasevakatini – Labasa
 
The deadly striker secured his transfer from Suva in this player transfer window. He has already led his former districts Suva and Nadi to title wins and Labasa would hope his lethal touch will help Labasa end their trophy drought.


Rusiate Matarerega – Nadi

Napolini Qasevakatini’s departure has left a void in Nadi soccer team’s strike force. Nadi has not found a replacement for Qase’s position and are heavily depending on Rusiate Matarerega. Rusi has so far justified the officials fate in him with a 4 goal haul against Rewa in the National League. Rusiate’s form would be key if Nadi are hoping to qualify for the O League next season.



Nikhil Chand - Suva

Nikhil Chand marks his return to Suva after 3 years. Nikhil rose to prominence during the Under 20 World cup qualifiers where he helped Fiji qualify for its first ever FIFA officiated World Event. Nikhil was in deadly form for Suva where he played as striker, winger and central midfield. He slowly lost form after his transfer to Labasa and was then playing in the 2nd Division with Lami Football a year later. Nikhil may turn to be Suva’s X factor if he could replicate his old form. 


Bong Kalo - Lautoka

Lautoka snapped up Vanuatu’s Wonder Kid Bong Kalo during the player transfer window. Bong Kalo was exceptional during the under 20 world cup where he was the captain and scored his first goal against Mexico in their first ever World Cup tournament. They lost the match to Mexico by 3–2. Kalo went on to score two more goals, including a fantastic free-kick against Germany, however they lost that match 3–2 as well. Kalo could make a big impact for Lautoka in this season’s league competition. 



Anish Khem – Rewa

Anish Khem will be key for Rewa this season. Rewa signed up Khem from Dreketi and has already featured for Rewa. Khem grew was in the form of his life while he was playing for Nadroga, that performance led Nadi officals to sign him for their O League competition. Khem didn’t disappoint as he led Nadi’s attack and was Nadi’s top goal scorer. His form has however dipped recently but as they say “form is temporary; Class is permanent”. Rewa may be the team that would reignite Khem’s form. 


Christopher Wasasala – Suva

Suva had lost both their striker Duo Ravinesh Karan and Napoloini Qase to Labasa. However, they also got the better of Labasa by getting their Striking trio Christopher Wasasala, Ratu Anare and Vilitati Kautoga. Christopher Wasasala is yet to feature for the Capital Side as he is yet to recover from his injury. Wasasala had been one Labasa’s best players for past few seasons and this is quite a coup from Suva to get a man who has an eye for goal.


Benjamin Totori – Lautoka

Benjamin Totori is like a fine wine “they get better as they age”. At 33 he still has a lot stamina and skills to show for. He was crucial for lautoka during last year’s O League competiton, where he helped them get thorough to the Finals. He will the key man for Lautoka again in this year’s National League.

 
Ratu Anare – Suva

Suva picked up Anare by swapping Ravinesh Karan and Napoloini Qase. Ratu Anare has been one of Labasa’s best and consistent performers. These performances had led Christopher Gamel naming Anare in the mens national side. Anare has already featured for Suva and has scored 2 goals already. His combination with another fellow Labasa mate Christopher Wasasala will prove crucial for Suva in their quest for a O league finish. 


Jone Naraba – Nasinu


Jone Naraba has been in flying form for Nasinu so far in this season. He has not only been scoring but has been setting up goals for his team mates. His form has helped Nasinu pull off some major upsets and they are now sitting on the top end of the table. His combination with Veteran Nasinu rep Jospeh Mishra is recting havoc. They will be vital in Nasinu’s push to stay up in the league. 
 
 
Ratu Dau – Ba

Ba snapped up promising young Tavua striker Ratu Dau in this player transfer window. Dau was sensational for Tavua during last season where he helped Tavua to beat many highly fancied teams. Born in 2000, Dau is one of those promising new generation talent that may lead Fiji’s line in the near future. He may get limited game time however his technical ability and an eye for goal may see him play more often.
