#2 Arata Izumi (FC Pune City)
FC Pune City believed that they have made a great signing when they bought Indian midfielder Arata Izumi from I-League club Mumbai FC, but they were wrong. Arata Izumi has failed to put in consistent performances for Pune this season.
The only recognizable contribution that the attacking midfielder has made to his team is the tap-in goal that he scored against a desperately poor FC Goa side. Apart from that, Izumi has been almost invisible this season. The 34-year-old had scored five goals for Atletico de Kolkata last season but has been totally off-colour so far.
FC Pune City currently is placed seventh on the points table with just six points, and Izumi’s form is a big part of the equation. Can the midfielder turn the tables? The chances of that happening are very slim as he has not shown any signs of promise so far this season.
