Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates' line-ups for the Carling Black Label Cup were revealed on Wednesday evening, but how much is each starting XI worth? Let's take a look!
There are no real surprises to the starting XIs, with Steve Komphela's side set to line up in more or less the same manner they did last season.
Erick Mathoho, who is now Chiefs' most valuable player in terms of net worth, will slot into the heart of defence alongside Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Lorenzo Gordinho and Tsepo Masilela.
Pirates' most valuable player remains Oupa Manyisa, and he, too, will be turning out for his respective team. Siyabonga Mpontshane was chosen to play in goals.
