#2 Martin Diaz (NorthEast United to FC Pune City)
Martin Diaz was one of the best performing centre-backs of ISL 2017-18. The Uruguayan footballer featured in 16 of NorthEast United's games and was their most reliable man at the back. With a passing accuracy of over 80% and timely tackles, Diaz kept things in check for The Highlanders.
The 30-year-old made a switch to FC Pune City amidst much anticipation. However, it will be safe to say that Martin Diaz has underperformed for The Stallions.
Despite his big 6 feet 2 inch frame, the Pune-based franchise has only maintained 2 clean sheets from their 11 matches thus far. A lot is expected from a player of Martin's potentials but he has not lived up to them this season.
While Pune are currently reeling at 7th place this ISL, NorthEast United are playing exceptionally well and are at the 3rd spot and a big contender to make it to the playoffs.
