#2 Amrinder Singh (Readers’ Ranking – 3rd)
Average Score – 8.5
As they say at the West Block stand at the Kanteerava Stadium, “No Paaji, No Party”. Amrinder has had a stunning 2016. His impact can best be understood by what he did in the ISL. He came in for the last four league games for Mumbai City FC and the two legs of their semi-final. He kept five clean sheets and looked an assured presence in goal.
Amrinder was among the pillars of Bengaluru FC’s run into the AFC Cup final. In the first leg of the semi-final, he made some superb saves against Johor Darul Ta’zim, which ensured that the tie was level going into the second leg at the Kanteerava.
The Blues hugely missed their star ‘keeper in the final, for which he was suspended after picking up yellow cards in both the legs of the semi-final.
He got his first national call-up as well, for the friendly against Puerto Rico.
