Like I have say before, the playing style of DPMM is quite different from the other foreign sides.
The Albirex and Super Reds team, throughout these years, are basically attacking team. They keep the ball well, do those nice little passes, but probably because of the better strikers in their country won't come here, their shooting and finishing are always

. The local clubs response to this will be like we always do internationally from U-14 to the full NT: sit back, defend deep and hit them on the counter or with set-piece.
DPMM is different as they are the sit back, defend deep and hit them on the counter or with set-piece team. The different in style makes them difficult to cope at first, explaining their good start to the season. However as teams learn more about them, I would expect DPMM to gradually drop down the table, ending between fourth to sixth, depending on whether Super Reds can score more and whether Home United can get their act together to mount a serious charge in the league.
