Tenacious Turtles (2022)

Neel Patwardhan and Saumin Athalye got together to design this rather angry looking turtle.

The Captains in a press release said the following -
'The idea was that our logo would give us the fire,the toughness and grit and hence the tough looking turtle.He won't back away from a challenge and neither would we.'

Positions - Cd/Lm/Lb/St
Strengths - Gurhani is a left footer and being one of the two left footers at KFANDRA is a huge strength. A lanky lad and very good natured. A great player to have on your team. Currently one of the fittest players in the squad in terms of stamina.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Has improved on the levels he was at in the KLC3. Gurhani is developing some fine leadership skills as well.
Weaknesses - Sometimes gets lost in a game. Can be a strong leader but allows others to dictate terms. He needs to attend sessions a bit more regularly.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Amazing how much Gurhani has improved on his weaknesses in the KLC3. All his weaknesses have now become strengths. What we have to wait and see, is if he can maintain these new levels he's reached. He does have to improve on his long passing and shooting accuracy.

Positions - Cm/Rb/St
Strengths - Karanth as a player is as wise as can be. Extremely calm, to the point of being laidback, which can be called a weakness. But in his case, it's perfect in situations that require a cool head. Karanth has a strong technical ability and vision. He also has very good fitness levels in terms of stamina for his age.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Karanth will need to reduce his level of calm to get that little extra from his teammates, which we're sure he'll do.
Weaknesses - Doesn't like to work on strength building exercises. His icy cool nature, needs a bit of heating once in a while.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - In his own way, he has been upping the temperature, which is why he's been tasked to lead the team. In the KLC3, his reaction to being asked to do workout at home was a simple nod of the head and a smile, this pre-season he's nodded his head vigorously and his smile has turned into a look of determination. Does that mean he started the workouts? No. But just based on his expression, maybe the KLC5 will be different!

Joint Captain KLC4

Positions - All
Strengths - Oct. 2022 KLC4 - A player that can turn a match with one lazy turn or a sensational run. One of the most talented KFANDRA graduates ever. Add to all that, he's one of the nicest blokes around!
Weaknesses - Oct. 2022 KLC4- He's been irregular to KFANDRA sessions for many months now, but has promised to return in late October. Patwardhan being unfit is impossible, at least his teammates hope so.

Neel Patwardhan

Mobirise

Football
Positions - Rm/Rb/Cd
Strengths - Sarda is a hard man! At times referred to as a demented Piranha. Not a natural footballer but has worked tremendously hard on his game and never shirks from what he's been tasked to do.
Age is no barrier for this bloke!
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - The demented Piranha now only lapses at times into 'paagalpan'. Otherwise, his efforts since the end of the KLC3 have provided rich dividends. (This last last statement is about his technical levels and S and C and not about his real-life shenanigans!!)
Weaknesses - His habit of forgetting all that he's learnt and turning back into a demented Piranha is his biggest weakness. Because he's started late, all his bad habits have become ingrained. This is why he needs to train even harder and work with the ball at home too.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - It's a mystery if he's worked with the ball at home but his touch on the ball has certainly improved. He's even managing to do quite well with his weaker left foot. It's really something when his weakness reflect how much he's improved!

Rb/Rm/Cd
Strengths - Bansal's only just joined KFANDRA and has arrived raw. Some may focus on age as being a major factor in a players' improvement, but at KFANDRA it's the commitment and passion of the player that is important. Has already shown signs of improvement in his tactical awareness, positioning and movement.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - His real-life issues have unfortunately affected the progress I expected him to make after the KLC3 ended. But in the time he's been back, he looks fresh and raring to go.
Weaknesses - As he's just joined KFANDRAAI, he's still learning the ropes and pointing out weaknesses wouldn't be helpful at this moment in time.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - He needs to work with his strengths and not dwell on his own weaknesses. Practice sessions can be used to attempt some things but as the KLC4 draws near, he needs to focus on his strengths.

Aman Bansal

Positions - Rb/Lb
Strengths - Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Ghotge has just completed a few sessions at KFANDRA and after a rocky start, he seems to be on the straight and narrow. He's always got a smile on his face which will help him through the tough training ahead. Ghotge isn't technically weak which means he can up his levels with some sustained practice.
Weaknesses - Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Tends to be overwhelmed by real-life issues which affects his performance at KFANDRA. Once he can sort that out, he'll be able to strengthen what looks like a powerful body and work on his stamina.

Strengths - Athalye's positive and calm demeanour are a joy to behold. He joined KFANDRA a little later than when kids normally join, but he picked things up very fast. Extremely talented and can use both feet with great aplomb. Does get nervous at times but that's only down to a lack of experience.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Athalye has improved a lot after the KLC3 ended and is one of the 3 players that reached the final level of KFANDRA Home Strength Training Workout system. 
Weaknesses - Was a little on the bad weight heavy side, but he's worked hard at KFANDRA's patented home workouts and as a result has packed on the muscle. There's still a bit more work to be done, but at least the process has begun.
Oct. 2022 KLC4 - Unfortunately for Athalye, his plans to go abroad has taken his mind slightly off the tasks at hand. The good news is that his KFANDRA sessions attendances are still high and he'd regular with his gym work. If you look closely, his weakness don't have anything to do with football per se! Athalye may leave KFANDRA in January.
