Mbwana Samata:
He enjoyed a fine year with TP Mazembe. He helped his club reach the Semi finals of the CAF Champions league where they were eliminated by ES Setif the eventual winners of the competition. Mbwana was TP Mzembe’s best scorer last season where his goals helped TP Mazembe win the league with 13 goals.
Samata also helped Taifa Stars reach the second round of the AFCON qualifiers where they were eliminated by Mozambique in a 3-2 aggregate loss; he also managed to score 5 goals in 11 matches for Taifa Stars this year.
He also leads with having many fouls committed against him which have lead to set pieces which have resulted to goals for both club and country.
Mrisho Ngasa:
Where do you begin to explain Ngasa’s form this year? He is the leading goal scorer in the CAF Champions league with 6 strikes, and has been in electrifying form in the league last season, scoring two league hat tricks.
He leads with national team caps as well as leading with goal assists on the national team; Ngasa’s only strike also helped Tanzania win against the then AFCON defending champions Zambia 1-0, a win which helped Taifa Stars climb on the FIFA ranks.
His goal scoring form helped Taifa Stars reach the semi finals of the CECAFA Challenge Cup, after scoring twice against Uganda in the quarter finals.
Salum Abubakar:
The Azam and Taifa Stars attacking midfielder and the Vodacom Premier League October player of the month has been in electrifying form this year.
The midfielder whose form has made Edibily Lunyamila, the Yanga and Taifa Stars legend to affirm that “Salum Abubakar is a gift from God to Tanzanian’s and Tanzanian’s should use it well so as they can benefit’.
Salum who is defensive minded and has phenomenal passing skills, makes everything he does on the football pitch look easy.
Salum Abubakar helped Azam to their first league crown in the 2013-2014 season having played for Azam since it was on the lower leagues; Salum has played all big matches for Taifa Stars a fate that shows how highly Mart Nooij thinks of him.
Thomas Ulimwengu:
The TP Mazembe and Taifa Stars player has been very influential this year.
The young striker has potential and has been of great help to both club and country in 2014, his attributes includes strength and skill on the ball with an ability to be an aerial threat.
His Goals helped Taifa Stars reach the second round of the AFCON qualifiers, Ulimwengu also scored the equalizer when Taifa Stars faced Swaziland in Mbabane, and he also leads the pack with most assists.
The youngster has been a major source of inspiration for his national team-mates. He has been immense for Taifa Stars throughout the year.
Jonas Mkude:
The midfielder has been in great form this season a fate that saw Yanga and Azam try to snatch him from Simba, that did not materialize however as Simba offered him a new deal worth a mouth watering 60 million shillings as well as a sports car.
Mkude's form has seen him move above Piere Kwizera in the pecking order with sources inside the club suggesting the Burundian could be shown the door by the club.
Mkude has great ability in long range goals a characteristic that has seen his team mates provide him with passes when at the edge of the box so as he can have a go at it and he has scored many goals this year.
