Kerala Blasters feature on top among the teams having the maximum shots but is at the bottom when it comes to the number of goals. Blasters lack in the forward strength even after recruiting the Serbian-Slovenian duo of Slaviša Stojanović and Matej Poplatnik. Even though they have netted some blinders they were not enough to bring the results in favour of Blasters.

Along with these two young foreign strikers, Blasters feature only a lone Indian forward in the form of the local lad, CK Vineeth in the 25-player squad. Lack of bench strength in the forward lineup is a major drawback for the squad, an area which has been a trouble for the team in all seasons.

CK Vineeth, who has an exceptional positioning ability inside the box is showing the same this season too, but his shots on the goal and passing in the final third are lacking substance at times. David James and the fans are still expecting much from this attacking trio of Blasters in the coming games.
