Regarded as one of the most technically gifted midfielders in India, Eugeneson Lyngdoh will be hoping for a big season with FC Pune City this year after failing to exhibit his true in potential in Hero ISL 2015. The heartbeat at the centre of the park for the Stallions, Lyngdoh scored twice and made two assists for the Maharashtra outfit last year.His importance to FC Pune City is further highlighted by their disappointing results in his absence due to national commitments or injury. An integral component in the battle for midfield supremacy, the graceful playmaker is comfortable on either foot and is also strong in the air as he demonstrated with a headed goal for FC Pune City last season, albeit in a losing cause.His 21 crosses, 22 tackles, 14 clearances, six interceptions and nine blocks also give us an insight into the Indian international’s all-round game. A massive threat from deal ball situations, Lyngdog is more than capable of surprising keepers with his excellent free-kicks. A lot will be riding on his shoulders if FC Pune City are to improve upon their showing from last season.
