I-League 2018/19: Top 5 foreigners in the league so far

#1 Willis Plaza (Churchill Brothers FC)

Willis Plaza has scored 8 goals so far in the season

When East Bengal roped in the Trinidadian International in January 2017, he was a regular in a squad for the next 12 months, but he was overlooked by the management and was released in January 2018. His stint with Mohammedan Sporting Club was too short, Willis Plaza finally landed in Goa to re-establish himself with his new club Churchill Brothers FC, the team which was on the verge of relegation!

The two-time I-League champions started their campaign with 3 draws, following which they scripted two consecutive victories mainly due to the brilliance of Willis Plaza who scored a hat-trick against Shillong Lajong FC and a brace in the away fixture to Mohun Bagan. A team which was not expected to give a punch for the championship race has started to dream big, all because of Willis Plaza.

The striker has so far converted 8 times in 9 matches, he is currently the top goal scorer in the ongoing I-League by quite some distance. Although a couple of losses have de-railed their title aspirations to some extents, as long as Willis Plaza is in their squad, Churchill Brothers will hope for a turnaround.
