The NPL named three players from Ocean Boys.
3SC and Juth produced two players each while Heartland, Dolphins, Gombe United and Plateau United accounted for a player each in this week's team.

Goalkeeper Femi Thomas, centre-back Dengo Ebinipre and Ikechukwu Okemiri, are the three players from Ocean Boys that made the team.
The Under23 fringe keeper, Thomas, edged his Plateau United counterpart, Abayomi Olorunda to the number one position.
Ebinipre is making the team for the second time this season.
Ikechukwu, one of the three Okemiri brothers playing for clubs in the topflight this term, claimed the right side of midfield for his craft on the flanks against Dolphins at the weekend.
