The team that took most by surprise last year when they lifted the I-League proving all odds wrong has failed to live up to the expectations this season.
With the departure of Khalid Jamil along with various players who played a key role in their last years I-league triumph, the team has failed miserably this year.
With a dismantled squad and under the new Portuguese coach, the side from the northeast has failed to recreate their last year's impression. Only a miraculous turnaround can restore the side's title defence this season.
Key Players:- Alfred Kemah Jaryan, David Lalrinmuana, William Lalnunfela, Avilash Paul.
Pros:- The team still has a lot of games to play and can gel together to put up a fightback to their title defence.
Cons: Too weak, lacks bench strength and consistency in games.
Rating: 7.5/10
