Rumour of East Bengal and Mohun Bagan not fielding teams ,
Judging by how Salgaocar have coasted to winning the GoaPro League title, Dempo will be weakened due to ISL.
Sporting Club de Goa have used a lot of youngsters in GPL ,so I would expect them to be stronger in Durand , as long as they have Victorinio return and also have strengthened that leaky defence.
BFC should be in good form after China tour, but they will need Sean Rooney to start scoring along with the their 2 India players Sunil & robin.
Pune FC with their extensive pre-season would be my pick to win it, Karim has a knack of timing his runs for Cup competitions , and winning PFC's 1st Trophy will cement his reputation and place at that club.
Durand ground level promotion is good few days back I saw there cycle rally with football balancing acts etc army is doing good promotion in raia area much better promotion then FC Goa
@7negi When was the last time IMG arranged Telecast for Indian Football friendly?? For last few years, it is either DD Sports or no telecast. IMG is only looking at their Reliance profit and nothing else. Do you think that IMG will arrange Federation Cup Telecast? We are lucky that there is a deal by ten sports to show I-League otherwise IMG do not care about that also.
