Bagdaulet Nuraly became one of the standout stars of the past season. He first appeared in the Freedom QJ League in 2023, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists in 7 matches. However, his true breakthrough came the following year when he netted 22 goals in 22 matches, along with 6 assists. He was named Player of the Week five times, earned a spot in the League's all-star squad for the match against Crvena Zvezda, and finished the season as the top scorer.
