Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC)
The old warhorse is meant to be in the list. He became the leading scorer in the case of ISL goals. Not to forget, it was an okayish season for the star, still, he hit 14 goals in the season.
It is on his shoulders that Bengaluru FC were carried to the business end of the tournament. Along with goals, he also had 16 goal contributions for the season, enough to show the skills and talent of the man. Chettri played a leading role in taking Bengaluru to the ISL final.
Jamie Maclaren (Mohun Bagan Super Giant)
The Aussie superstar scripted the right support and push that helped MBSG to win the ISL 2024-2025 title. 12 goals in the season, leading the list of most goals for MBSG in the season, show his value for the side.
It was the valuable contribution from Jamie that helped Mohun Bagan complete the ISL double for the first time in history. His smarts inside the ring meant that Mohun Bagan had dominance over the opposition.
Iker Guarrotxena (FC Goa)
An anchor right in the forward wing is a blessing in disguise. Iker Guarraotxena is also present in the list of best forwards in ISL 2024-2025.
10 goals from the Spanish player meant that he controlled the game for Goa, right from the start to the end. Not only a personal milestone, but his 14 assists are also proof of the team man that Iker is. There is no doubt that he was the crucial man for Goa in tough situations.
Noah Sadaoui (Kerala Blasters)
Kerala Blasters might not had a great season, but their shining chink in the armour was Noah Sadaoui. An aggressor in the field, with a burst of pace and quality, Noah was hard to stop for the defenders.
He also set the record of 200 progressive carries, which is a record in itself. Meanwhile, Noah racked up 7 goals and 5 assists in the 19 matches played. In a season of limited wins, Noah shone bright for Kerala Blasters.
Diego Mauricio (Odisha FC)
The last name in the list of best forwards in ISL 2024-2025 is Diego Mauricio from Odisha FC. For the last couple of seasons, Diego has been the cog in the Odisha wheel. An offensive get-go, Mauricio scored 9 goals and assisted 6 goals.
