Odisha FC Squad Preview: Squad Overview

Goalkeepers

Odisha has recruited two new players this season in form of Kamaljit Singh and Ravi Kumar to strengthen the goalkeeping department. Arshdeep Singh is expected to be the first choice goalkeeper of the team. Odisha FC looks decent in this department but the players are needed to be at the best to give stability to the defense.

Defence: The Base to a Successful Campaign

Odisha has brought in an experienced campaigner in form of former Newcastle skipper Steven Taylor. The Odisha skipper has been brought from Wellington Phoenix to strengthen the backline which looked brittle last season. Jacob Tratt is also likely to be playing in the Right Back for the Coastal city, the Australian will be looking to make a mark in India. They have an excellent Indian contingent in defense with young guns like Shubham Sarangi, Gaurav Bora, Dhot along with experienced campaigners like Kamalpreet Singh. It will be interesting to see if the defence can gel up to form a formidable one.

Midfield: Vital Piece of the Puzzle

The Midfield looks a bit inexperienced on the paper. A lot depends on experienced players like Vinit Rai, Diagne and Cole Alexander. Alexander is brought on this season by the club to give that creative spark in the midfield. Diagne will provide the destructive force in the midfield. The Odisha midfield contains a lot of unknown teenagers from their youth set-up like Adhikary and Dobriyal. Remtluanga, Ramfangzauva are also teenagers to look forward to. The youngsters have to work their skin off to create a strong midfield.

Forwards: New Faces Looking to Shine

Odisha has brought in Diego Mauricio and Marcelinho, both signings look top class and are expected to hit the ground running. Marcelinho is one of the most successful forward in ISL history. Onwu, the Bengaluru loanee from last season has been brought home this season on a permanent basis. Onwu will be the main-man for Odisha in front of the goal. Indians like Premjit Singh and Samuel Lalmuanpuia will be looking to make their mark in the country’s top division. The Attacking line up of Odisha looks very promising and will be the guiding light to their campaign this year.

Conclusion

Odisha FC under Baxter can turn out to be the side that the top sides won’t want to play. A team filled with star players alongside a host of young teenagers. The side looks unpredictable, to be honest. Now if they can clear all the hurdles and reach the knock-outs, it will be a dream come true for the Odisha fans.
