Nice scowl. Maybe it's what she thinks might scare the guys off. Whatever it is, Kew Pei Li is a Frontliner through and through, coming for almost every training this year, playing in every tournament (Youthwave- Frontliners Roses, POC, Dalat League), and in charge of the club's blog.She has played as a goalkeeper before, but is more suited to playing outfield as she is an athletic and aggressive player. Over-aggressive sometimes, even in training, as she strangely chooses to knock into players, especially her sister, even when the ball is nowhere near. Prone to concentration lapses, but if she concentrates well she can be a very good player. As unpredictable as... Liverpool (which coincidentally is the club she supports), when she has a good time she can do very well but when she doesn't she looks like she's crippled. Being a defender, she mostly needs to work on her positioning and one-touch control. She sometimes plays as if she had two left feet, tripping over herself and other people so constantly that no one comes to help, they just laugh.
Verdict: Winning the gold in Youthwave certainly helped, and so did her rapid improvement up until now. A lot still to learn, but for now, a (7/10) would do.
Play of the year: Her performance in Penang Open Challenge, where she overshadowed some bigger, older players and impressed with her defence play.
Prediction for next season: For all her shortcomings, Pei Li is an incredibly committed and talented player, who does have the drive and motivation to make things happen. Time is on her side, and in a long run she could just make it big time.
