#1 Lucian Goian - Mumbai City (+1)
Lucian Goian gets promoted to the top of the Power Rankings by Sportskeeda to become the Best Player for January. From the 2nd position in the previous month, Goian has fared well at his duties, despite the two defeats after the January break.

The Romanian international too has to be praised for nurturing a young defensive line to keep the most number of clean sheets in the league.
Lucian Goian has been a rock-pillar at the defence, making 62 tackles and 25 interceptions. The 28 blocks made, had been a challenge to every attacker trying to reach the Mumbai City goal. The 36-year old's most dominant field still has been clearances, with 154 in number. He has been a crucial figure for the Islanders outstanding season, making a comeback.
In the days to come and the playoffs, which are only a few points away from Mumbai City, Lucian Goian will be put to the real test, facing the best oppositions this season. Though he has surpassed almost all challenges, the long season-end might be an interesting encounter for the veteran; aiming to gift the club their first ISL cup.
Sportskeeda Rating - 36.6
