Abylay is having a great season — and it’s quite possible he’ll surpass last year’s stats (15 goals and 9 assists across the U-17 and U-18 tournaments). He’s recently slowed down a bit — no goals in his last two matches — but in Matchweek 10, Toleukhan dished out three assists, intensifying his competition with Gleb Makridov from Shakhtyor.

Daulet Orynbasar, who dominated last season's U-17 tournament, is keeping close to his teammate — the 16-year-old forward has scored in six straight matchweeks.

14-year-old Roman Chernomorets was eligible to play in the U16 tournament this year, but instead, he’s leading among older players — with 11 goals and 4 assists, he tops the “goals + assists” category for the first half of the season.

His teammate Nilesh Sharma also deserves a mention — the forward has 9 goals and 3 assists, tying with Adiyat Otarbek for second place in total contributions.
