5 foreigners to watch out for this season

#2 Fazel Atrachali - Iran

Fazel Atrachali (R) in action for U Mumba last season

Iran's skipper, Fazel Atrachali joined U Mumba in 2015 for a transfer fee of just Rs 4 lakhs, in stark contrast to the other two Iranians in the league, who are the two most expensive players in the league. The 23-year-old was used sparingly last season by coach Bhaskaran Edachery, but when he did come on, Fazel exhibited pace and flexibility in his game play.

More importantly, the defender thrives in 3v1 and 2v1 situations – A predicament that many of the leagues defenders dread. With a tackling percentage of 69% (the league’s highest in season 2, Fazel will be intent on securing more matches under his belt this time around.
