#2 Good Balanced Squad
The officials at Dabang Mumbai made sure to pick a well-balanced side at the recently concluded CIL Hockey India League auctions in order to maximise their chances of going through to the semis.
The presence of Irish international David Harte between the posts with the experience of Australian international Matthew Swann and Indian youngster Harmanpreet Singh in defence will surely be the key in blunting down the opposition attacks. On the other end of the field, German international Florian Fuchs will be supported by Indians Nikkin Thimmaiah and Affan Yousuf to provide the goals.
However, with a relatively new side (The Alphas retained just 3 players from last season), the difficulty this team will have is to play as a cohesive side and learn each others' movement on the field as soon as possible. If they manage to work as one formidable unit, this team has all the raw qualities to qualify for the knockouts and from there, it is anyone's game.
