#2 Marcelo Leite Pereira (Marcelinho)

Marcelo Leite Pereira

More commonly known as Marcelinho, the Brazilian has truly lit up the third season of the Indian Super League. With the absence of a certain Stiven Mendoza, there needed to be a pretender to the throne, and boy has the Brazilian shown he is the right man to stake claim.

Marcelinho has scored eight goals and contributed five assists this season. His goals include a hat-trick against FC Goa. Despite having played for the youth teams of Atletico Madrid, he never really made a mark to get into the first team. A striker by trade, Zambrotta moved him to the right, where he's been exceptional.

He has truly set the standard, and that was clearly evident by the way he took his second goal in the game against FC Goa. Head and shoulders above the rest, Marcelinho's goalscoring and savvy play is one of the main reasons for Delhi being the best-attacking unit in the league.
