#1 CK Vineeth - Kerala Blasters
CK Vineeth’s much-awaited return has transformed the Blasters into serious title challengers this year after a slow start to the season. The local boy from Kerala has been present in every positive move for Kerala and has helped his side to two wins in just 112 minutes of football this season.
The Bengaluru FC player scored a late winner for the Blasters against FC Goa. He then scored a stunning brace against Chennaiyin FC, enabled their stunning comeback victory against the reigning champions in the hotly contested second south Indian derby of the season. He averages a goal every 37.3 minutes, which is the best in Hero ISL 2016.
Vineeth's celebration after scoring has enthralled the football-mad fans in Kerala and the Blasters man has established himself as one of the most popular Indian players this season.
