#3 Juan Belencoso (Atletico de Kolkata)

Juan Belencoso
Juan Belencoso has missed a few gilt-edged opportunities

Belencoso was bought by Atletico de Kolkata from Indonesian club Person Bandung as a back-up option for marquee player Helder Postiga. But Belencoso was soon called into the fray after Postiga got injured in Kolkata's second match of the season against Kerala Blasters, but the Spaniard failed to step up.

The Spaniard has played all seven of Kolkata's games but he could only score his first goal against NorthEast United last week (an easy tap-in). The 35-year-old was wasteful and poor in all the games he started, and has failed to make any impact when he came on as a substitute.

Other Kolkata attackers like Iain Hume, Sameehg Doutie and Javi Lara have put in standard performances so far, but a misfiring Belencoso has been the weak link in the team. Atletico de Kolkata fans will be relieved that Postiga is back from injury. With the return of the Portuguese forward Kolkata will now have some sharpness upfront, unlike with Belencoso.
