#4 Lucian Goian - Chennaiyin FC
Lucian Goian is a familiar name in India. The center-back made his move to ISL in 2016, joining Mumbai City. He was an unmoved presence in the team's backline for three consecutive seasons, before Chennaiyin FC acquired the services of the Romanian this off-season.

At Mumbai City, Goian was a perfect defender with 246 tackles and 93 interceptions from 50 matches. The 36-year-old's experience will continue to be his biggest asset. Chennaiyin, two-time champions, had conceded 32 goals last season -- the most by any team -- and finished bottom of the table. This move can be seen as coach John Gregory's first move to rejuvenate the defence.
If the defender manages to combine with Eli Sabia at the heart of the defence for Chennaiyin, they could dream of a third ISL title. Goian's presence of mind and aerial prowess makes him a tough hurdle for attackers.
