#3 COMPETENT FORWARDS
Chennaiyin FC stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation which gives the top four some freedom to roam around and get involved in a flurry of goals. Brazilian Raphael Augusto operates behind 'The Sniper' Jeje Lalpekhlua. Through the flanks, Dutch winger Gregory Nelson and former FC Goa forward Francis Fernandes burst up with pace to feed the striker.
Raphael Augusto is an intelligent attacking midfielder who likes to press high up the pitch and spray the ball to others around him. Francis Fernandes and Gregory Nelson not only contribute with goals and intelligent runs, but also help their full-backs with the defensive work rate to ease their work. Striker Jeje Lalpekhlua is a clinical forward who always has an eye on the goal and proper holdup play to keep possession.
The front four combined to produce 14 goals and 9 assists last season. The numbers might not have crept as expected, but their linkup play will be a treat to watch in the forthcoming season.
