The 30-year-old Amat will be key to break Indonesia’s curse at the AFF Championship.

As a defender, the chance will be less likely for him to win tournament’s MVP, but the way he influences the game is as vital as any other positions. Amat’s experience in the English Premier League would definitely help.

Lim Pisoth (Cambodia)

The breakout star of Cambodian football, Lim Pisoth is his nation’s hope in the AFF Championship.

Maung Maung Lwin (Myanmar)

Nguyen Quang Hai (Vietnam)

The 25-year-old was 2018 version’s MVP for his stunning performance and was the vital name to be called up after VFF reached agreement with Quang Hai’s club Pau.

Safawi Rasid (Malaysia)

One of the star names not just in Malaysian football but across the entire region, 25-year-old Safawi Rasid has more than double the caps of any other player in an inexperienced Malaysian squad.

Stephan Schrock (Philippines)

This is very much a new-look Azkals squad with only four players having more than 13 caps but the one constant is the tireless midfielder/forward Stephan Schrock.

The veteran may be having his final tournament before retirement. Schrocky has been considering coaching after this year AFF Cup.

Teerasil Dangda (Thailand)

As he showed at the previous edition of the AFF Championship, Teerasil Dangda may be approaching the end of his storied career but he’s still as dangerous as ever.

It’s perhaps a little surprising that the four-time Golden Boot winner and overall leading scorer in the history of the tournament has yet to win the MVP award and he’ll be hoping to set that record straight this year.
