#3 Manvir Singh (FC Goa)
After two seasons of warming up the bench for FC Goa, Manvir Singh has found a regular place in the starting line-up this season.
The 24-year-old has found his name in the starting line-up four times this season but surprisingly, both the goals which he scored came off the bench.
Against NorthEast United, he craned his neck to head the ball home in the dying seconds of the game after Mourtada Fall connected a long ball from the other half of the pitch. His header in the 69th minute of the game against Hyderabad FC through the corner proved to be the difference when the two sides met.
Manvir's ability in the air and imposing physical stature makes him a perfect number nine for the Indian national team, something which the country has lacked since the dip in form of Robin Singh.
