#3 Solid defence
The Blasters were able to retain the best Indian defender, Sandesh Jhingan prior to the season. He had been the main man in defence for the Blasters for the last three seasons, helping them reach the finals two times.
Apart from Jhingan, the Blasters have bagged former Manchester United star Wes Brown. The 38-year old defender will provide much-needed experience to the Blasters back line.
Rino Anto was the Blasters' first pick from the draft and that shows that they have given a lot of importance to the defence this season. Serbian Nemanja Laki?-Peši? and I-League winner Lalruatthara have all added strength to the Blasters back line.
