Isaac Isinde was among only five players who played all but one game throughout the season.
The Uganda Premier League end-of-season report for the just-concluded 2022/23 calendar has left several questions unanswered.
First, there was a defect in the league whereby the composition of the teams was odd and unbalanced after Kyetume FC was relegated to the lower divisions after failing to meet the minimum standards for club licensing.
That left fifteen teams with the league management fidgeting with an abnormal fixture that left at least one team out of action every single match day and 30 matches lesser.

Playing time
According to the report, no player managed to feature in all match days last season.
Former Uganda Cranes defender Isaac Isinde played the most number of minutes after featuring in 2533 minutes in the 27 games he turned up in Busoga United’s jersey.
Isinde was among only five players who played all but one game throughout the season.
The others are Yakin Rashid (Onduparaka), Fred Gift (SC Villa), Michael Siwu (Blacks Power) and Ibrahim Wamannah of UPDF.
Recently Fufa president Moses Magogo advanced a proposal to have players double-licensed to give them more playing time.
“A player only develops by playing football,” Magogo noted.
“Based on that, we’re going to introduce double licensing where two clubs can register a player in two different leagues,” he adds.
Uganda Cranes coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic supports the move urging that the players need to have more game time.
Micho compares Isinde’s minutes played to the current best Ugandan export Khalid Aucho whose Young Africans played 55 games this season.
