FC Goa are a side in the Indian Super League who have managed to end up in the playoffs of the competition three times in four years. They are still yet to win a title, but the attacking style of play  The Gaurs adopt has brought them many fans. An exciting team to watch, FC Goa have the ability to demolish any defence in front of them if every single player in the team is functioning at the top of their game.

FC Goa Analysis:

It is clear that the biggest strength FC Goa possesses is their incredible ability to score goals. The team is set-up in such a way that forces the other team to be cautious of how fast-paced the game will be. They also have retained the services of the top goal scorer of the ISL 2018/19 season in Ferran Corominas.

But, the Achilles Heel for the team has always been an unstable defence. They have addressed this issue by bringing in two new defenders in the squad. Another problem for the team is the fact that they don’t have the strongest Indian contingent of players within their roster. This can be a problem for the team in the business end of the season when injuries start lining up, and squad rotation is required.
