ISL 2018/19: Best XI of the week

#3 Midfielders

Mario Arques has been exceptional for Jamshedpur FC

Rowlin Borges (NorthEast United FC)

The playmaker has been a stalwart in the midfield for NorthEast United FC. He has amassed a total of 453 passes in 8 games with an accuracy of 82.78%. Apart from that, he has scored a couple of goals and with as many assists. He has been a part of every minute for NorthEast United FC in the ongoing season and he has made justice to his head coach Eelco Schattorie who has put faith in him.

Mario Arques (Jamshedpur FC)

The former La Liga star has been the main lifeline of Jamshedpur FC’s midfield. Apart from giving valuable assists, he has also scored a couple of goals. The playmaker scored the last goal for his team during their match against Chennayin FC to secure three points from the fixture. The Villareal CF’s youth system product has maintained a passing accuracy of a staggering 84.26% this season so far.

Udanta Singh (Bengaluru FC)

The energetic winger has been one of the most effective players for Bengaluru FC in the recent past and he scored the all-important winner against Delhi Dynamos FC in the previous match. Apart from that, he was pretty consistent in the rest of the matches. He will play a key role for the Albert Roca’s side if Bengaluru FC manages to remain in the hunt for their maiden Indian Super League title.

Aashique Kuruniyan (FC Pune City)

This may be a surprise inclusion in the list but the 21-year old has impressed in this year’s Indian Super League so far. Although he has scored only a single goal so far, he has a high passing rate with equally impressive accuracy. His swift runs down the wings can pose threat to any defence and will be the man to watch out for the ‘Stallions’ in their remaining fixtures.

Lalthathanga Khawlhring (NorthEast United)

Former Aizawl FC player Lalthahanga was roped in by NorthEast United FC prior to the season. Failing to make a huge impact in the opening few matches, the midfielder from Mizoram has been a shining star for Eelco Schattorie’s unit in the past couple of matches. Hopefully, he will continue to do the same for the rest of the season.
