#5 Leo Moura
Stiven Mendoza should’ve been the numero uno in this list, but such has been the catastrophic fall of the Gaurs that Leo Moura dismantles the Columbian. Hardworking, coordinating and highly effective, Leo Moura was the lynchpin for the FC Goa side which reached the finals of the Indian Super League last season.
The player has left for his home town, Brazil, and has signed for Santa Cruz, who surely have benefited from the lanky midfielder’s presence. Moura played 16 games last season for Zico’s side, missing just one. Playing in the deep-lying playmaker role, Moura broke a lot of opposition attacks, committing 14 fouls and picking up five yellow cards in the process.
Coming to the attacking side, Moura made eight assists, the joint highest in the league with Florent Malouda, who played much higher up the pitch. The Brazilian also scored two goals in the league, which only adds to his unending presence. FC Goa have looked absent on the pitch in the midfield and Richarlyson and Trindade have been absolute failures on the pitch for the Gaurs. Zico must be ruing his luck, letting off his talisman from last season.
