NorthEast United FC signed former Queens Park Rangers and Guinean international Idrissa Sylla to boost their attacking strength for the ISL 2020-21 season. The Highlanders had always struggled in front of the goal and thus decided to add a goal poacher in their ranks.

Head coach Gerard Nus will be happy with the addition as Sylla has started off the ISL season with two crucial goals. His strikes against FC Goa and Kerala Blasters FC were critical for the side as they were able to earn key points. His goal-scoring threat makes him a good pick as your Dream11 captain or vice-captain.

NorthEast United FC have another lethal striker in their ranks in the form of Ghanaian attacker Kwesi Appiah. He opened his ISL goal tally in the Highlanders' first win of the season against Mumbai City FC.

Appiah is a true forward with an ability to bully defenders and create spaces to attack the opposition goal. His partnership alongside Sylla could prove to be one of the best combinations in the entire ISL. With his form, he is a top contender for the captain or vice-captain's role in your Dream11 squad.
