The ISL's costliest player this season didn't disappoint his detractors. Roy Krishna is leading the Golden Boot race with 15 goals and 5 assists and the Fijian captain is showing no signs of stopping down.

Sublime finishing is what separates Krishna from the other strikers in ISL. He doesn't put too much power in his shot but his perfect placement is enough to hoodwink the goalkeepers. Like most of the prolific goalscorers in the world, Krishna's individual ability has troubled the defenders time and again.

Lucian Goian will shoulder the responsibility to stop him alongside his partner-in-crime Eli Sabia. However, it is the Romanian that is expected to head into one-on-one duels with Krishna.

Goian scored the all-important goal against Mumbai City FC in the league phase of ISL and scored the first of the four goals in the first leg of semi-finals against FC Goa. His ability in the air needs no introduction.

But, with a counter-attacking ATK upfront, he might need to do more of his defensive duties.
