Overshadowed by Coro, Ahmed Jahouh, Edu Bedia, Hugo Boumous, and Jackichand Singh, Lenny Rodrigues is the unsung hero of FC Goa. The midfielder has completed a total of 307 passes in ISL so far, more than any other Indian

The former India international has 23 tackles, 8 interceptions, 6 clearances, and 5 tackles to his name, enough to prove his defensive capabilities. Coupled with a passing accuracy of 86.97%, average pass of 61.4 per game, and an assist to his name, he ticks all the boxes required to become a complete midfielder.

It is hard to figure out why the 31-year-old has been continuously excluded by Stephen Constantine. The Goan playmaker has already represented the nation 22 times and his experience could come handy in the forthcoming Asian Cup. Till then, he gets a spot in the Unpicked XI.
