#4 Nicolas Anelka (Mumbai City)

Nicolas Anelka was a true goalscorer during his heyday and showed his class plenty of times for each of the numerous clubs that the Frenchman played for. The list of clubs to his name is impressive and so is his game to goal ratio, and that made his 2014 arrival at Mumbai City FC all the more special.

Though there was plenty of promise, the Frenchman scored just twice in his Mumbai days and didn't offer too much as a manager either. A touch disappointing when you consider his extraordinary playing career that yielded so much success. A semi-final spot may not have been forthcoming, but Anelka sure made the ISL a better place by playing here.
