- In the absence of a true striker, Ivan Stoyanov has developed an effective attacking line around Mamadou Diallo, who is their double-figure league goalscorer and consistently causes havoc for defenses.
- Backed up by Georgi Rusev’s high assist tally and the regular contributions of supporting attackers Elias Corrêa Franco and Brian Sobrero, CSKA have a real potency up front.
- Montana
- Solomon James Owello anchors the team in midfield, leading the team in assists, while Boris Aleksandrov Dimitrov has around 5 - 6 goals.
