#1 Raphael Augusto - Bengaluru FC
Raphael Augusto is the signing to look out for this ISL season. The Brazilian's move from Chennaiyin FC to Bengaluru FC has attracted plenty of attention. Augusto has proved himself in the four ISL seasons with Chennaiyin.

Augusto first came to CFC in 2015 as a loanee from Brazilian club Fluminese. Impressive performances with the two-time champions made him crucial part of the team. In 62 games, the midfielder made 285 tackles and completed 56 passes per game on average. He also has six goals against his name.
The 28-year old's arrival will make Bengaluru FC's midfield the strongest in the league. BFC already have Dimas Delgado and Erik Paartalu offering services as central midfielders. If Delgado is slotted in an attacking position, Augusto will be the playmaker at the center. The Brazilian will then have the responsibility providing service to Sunil Chhetri, Ashique Kuruniyan and Udanta Singh.
The new signing will add balance to a BFC squad that will miss the services of Miku in attack. Though Augusto will have a secondary role in attack, he will be Carles Cuadrat's creative brain on the field.
