If we are including Valskis in the list, it would be criminal to leave out his partner-in-crime Rafael Crivellaro. The Italian has played a pivotal part in Chennaiyin FC's resurgence under Owen Coyle with 7 goals and 6 assists to his name.

Averaging at 50.47 passes per game, Crivellaro has made 858 passes so far in the competition. He has also accumulated 43 shots and 33 crosses in the 17 matches he has been a part of.

Crivellaro's moment of the season came in Chennaiyin FC's match against NorthEast United where the 31-year-old let fly a long-range shot into the goal from the halfway mark. Deployed as an attacking midfielder, his ability to find teammates with inch-perfect through passes has led him to be one of the highest chance creators this season.

Crivellaro's stock should have risen considerably in the global market with his eye-catching performance. Other ISL clubs would have definitely pondered upon his signing and with stints in Iran, Poland, and UAE, it remains to be seen whether Crivellaro continues in India for another season.
