Lalthathanga Khawlhring

With a rather slow start to his debut season at  the 2018-19 ISL, this North East United midfielder definitely picked up his pace and settled well within his surroundings.

His great concentration on and off the ball, along with a relentless running ability make him quite dependable in the midfield area.

Mohammad Nawaz

FC Goa fans were quite nervous when they came to know about the head coach opting for a rather inexperienced 19-year old as the first choice goalkeeper.  However, all doubts were cleared as the season progressed with the youngster producing interesting results – a total of  4 clean sheets and 35 saves in a mere 13 appearances.
