#4 Eugeneson Lyngdoh - FC Pune City
The Stallions had a dismal ISL season three which was a result of a number of issues starting with the ban of four matches on manager Antonio Habas and the season-ending injury to Eidur Gudjohnsen. India's midfield lynchpin and Bengaluru FC's midfield engine was expected to play a lion share's role in Pune's quest to reach their first ever semifinals.
With Bengaluru FC's journey to the AFC Cup final, Lyngdoh was unavailable for the majority of the season as Pune City struggled in his absence. Results started to pick up when he joined the squad with Habas slowly integrating him into the starting lineup. Pune have an exciting squad coupled with an experienced manager but their aim should firstly be on securing the Meghalaya born Lyngdoh's services for the next season.
It was believed that Habas had made signings before the start of this season keeping in mind Eugeneson Lyngdoh in the starting lineup as in the former Valencia manager had built his team around India's elite midfielder. Pune City will benefit next season for sure if Lyngdoh is available next season from the first game.
