#5 Prabir Das
When Atletico de Kolkata started the season, the left back position was looked at by many as an area of concern. Keegan Pereira was yet to join the squad, as he was (is) still in the AFC Cup with Bengaluru FC.
Enter Prabir Das, with his shock of blond hair. The Indian U-23 international has played as a right-back all his career (and sometimes in midfield), but the Mohun Bagan man has impressed one and all with his fiery defending as a left-back.
Fast, enthusiastic and with a hunger to win the ball back early, he has been called the Bengali Maldini in many quarters. Along with Pritam Kotal, he has a constant in the Atletico defence that has conceded only four goals this season.
