In the four competitive matches that coach Romain Folz has led Yanga, only eight players have yet to get any playing time.
Yanga has played four competitive games, starting with the Community Shield against Simba, which they won 1-0, then traveling to Angola for the CAF Champions League first-round clash against Wiliete, securing a strong 3-0 victory.
After those two games, they opened their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 win over Pamba Jiji, before completing the return leg against Wiliete with another 2-0 win just recently.
In those four matches, the players who did not play a single minute are goalkeepers Aboutwalib Mshery and Abubakar Khomeny; defenders Abubakar Nizar ‘Ninju’ and Frank Assinki; midfielders Farid Mussa, Abdulnasir Mohammed ‘Casemiro’, Salum Abubakar ‘Sure Boy’, and Denis Nkane.
Across these matches, Folz has been unpredictable, fielding different lineups each time. Records show that from one match to the next, he has made between five to eight changes, yet still maintained winning results.
Among those lineups—which have not lost or conceded a single goal—only four players stand out as having logged the most minutes.
Goalkeeper Djigui Diarra leads the way, having played all four matches and all 360 minutes. He is followed by Pacome Zouzoua, who featured in every game with a total of 320 minutes, after being substituted in two matches and starting from the bench in another.
Alongside Pacome is midfielder Aziz Andabwile, who has surprised many with an excellent start under Folz, also playing 320 minutes. Dube and defender Chadrack Boka follow, each with 310 minutes.
