1/5

Eugeneson Lyngdoh plays as a central midfielder for both Bengaluru and India. The classy player was adjudged the FPAI player of the year in 2015 and followed it up with the AIFF Player of the Year. Lyngdoh's capabilities will be of mammoth size to Bengaluru and his ability to dictate the centre of the field sends strong message.

Lyngdoh's immense experience saw him getting bagged by Pune FC in ISL 2015 for a high price of Rs 1.04 crore. He was arguably the best player in the I-League last season and will want to continue with his excellent run this year too.

The Mizoram sensation has created waves after showing his skills for India in the SAFF Championships. The 18-year-old prodigy has showed he can be the next big thing in Indian football and new club DSK Shivajians will hope his transition to the I-League will be a smooth one.

Having already played for the side in the U-19 I-League, Chhangte will look to create some more waves at the senior level. A promising youngster, Chhangte’s pace and trickery is expected to help the debutants.

The forward is having a dream time in his career after helping Chennaiyin FC and India win the ISL and SAFF Championship on the trot. Jeje’s liveliness and presence of mind has seen him rise up the ranks in Indian football.

His partnership upfront with Stiven Mendoza (ISL) and Sunil Chhetri (India) has been a treat for the fans and he will hope he continues in the same vein for Bagan too. Last season he had managed to score only one goal for the Kolkata giants and this time his side will look up to him for serving the goods as they will try to defend the title.

The Indian skipper has been the best in the business in Indian football and his leadership will be a vital asset for the 2014 champions. Chhetri’s immense experience serves a big plus, as it was seen in the SAFF Championship recently.

Chhetri’s brilliance for India came after a strong performance for Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League. In-form Chhetri who has scored 26 goals in two seasons across all competitions for Bengaluru, will look to inspire his side to another title.

5/5

The central defender has been a key figure of the red-yellow brigade in recent years and his consistency has been the key for the national side too. Mondal is a rock in the East Bengal defense and his reading of the game is exceptional.

The Atletico de Kolkata player had a good outing for India in the SAFF Championship and is likely to carry on the form for East Bengal in I-League too. The 26-year-old has a calm mind and his side will bank on him for some solidity.
