    so only pune fc is the only one till now who fulfils this criteria...as for BFC they do have avg. attendance more than 5000/match...

    @gaffartape
    if any single i-league club fails to fulfil criteria then i-lig will be awarded champions slot or not?
  • munna219777munna219777 28557 Points
    Only the club which win I-league should be given slot of AFC Champions League Qualifiers and in case of faltering, it should go to AFC Cup. Winner of Federation cup should be given AFC Cup slot.
    This year Pune FC got back door entry being the only club which satisfy criteria and result is that Pune FC is going out in 1st round of AFC Cup. No more back door entry please.
    From next year, they should be strict. Churchill Brothers won Federation Cup, so CB should be sent to AFC Cup. Bangalore FC will win I-League this year, they should play in qualifiers and if BFC do not have points, then let them play in AFC Cup. We do not want wastage of slot in back door entry team like Pune FC who will be out in 1st Round of AFC Cup.

    I-League title run in :
                                                   Played | Wins| Losses| Draws| Points | next 5 games..........
    1. Bengaluru FC :  16 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 31 | RUFC(A) / CB(H) / USC(A) / SLFC(A) / PFC(H)
    2. Sporting Club :   15 | 8 | 4 | 3 | 28| MDSP(A) / DEM(A) / MFC(H) / MMB(H) / KEB(A)
    3. Pune FC         :  16 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 28 | MFC(A) / SLFC(H) / KEB(A) / CB(A) / BFC(A)
    4. Shillong Lajong: 16 | 6 | 6 | 4 | 24 | | SAL(A) / PFC(A) / MDSP(A) / KEB(A) / BFC(H) 
    5. Salgaocar FC :   16 | 7 | 3 | 6 | 24 | SLFC(H) / MFC(H) / DEM(A) / USC(H) / RUFC(H)
    6. East Bengal   :    13 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 19 | MMB(A) / PFC(H) / SLFC(H) / RUFC(H) / MDSP (H)
    Dempo can only get a maximum of 43 points ,so I'll discount them from the analysis
    • BFC have to pick up maximum points against Rangdajied & the Jekyl & Hyde Churchill Brothers team, expect them to beat USC, the next 2 games are real 6 pointers for them and they'll probably drop a game & only get a point off those 2  ( 10 points )
    • SCdeGoa can see them coming unstuck against the "Kolkata giants", ( 8 points)
    • Pune FC; 8 games in a month will take its toll on this young squad, if any injuries to foreigners or Pavlovic doesn't settle ( he has a notorious temper) will see them slip up..( 9 points)
    • SLFC; although they have improved away from home, 5 games on the road as we head towards the summer will have its effect, that coupled with payment issues will see them slip away (5-6 points)
    • Salgaocar; have the best set of fixtures, 5 games in Goa, expect them to catch up lost ground ( 13 points)
    • East Bengal ; also have 5 games in Kolkata but 2 are derbies, so tough to predict ( 11 points)
    1. Bengaluru FC :   41 
    2. Sporting Club :   36
    3. Pune FC         :   37
    4. Shillong Lajong : 30 
    5. Salgaocar FC :   37
    6. East Bengal   :    30 ( 18 games)   
    48 points will probably win the League this year
    1. BFC have picked up 4 points from possible 9, still on course for the 10points
    2. SCde Goa have 0 from 6 and unlikely to get even 6 from the remaining 9 the way they are playing
    3. Pune FC have got 2 from 6 and probably sneak another 5 from next 3 games
    4. SLFC have 1 from 6 and will probably only get 6 as predicted
    5. Salgaocar have 6 from possible 6 and will probably get the 13 predicted points and make a late title run
    6. East Bengal ?
    too update this from almost 3 weeks back....
                                                   Played | Wins| Losses| Draws| Points | next few games..........
    1. Bengaluru FC :  20 |11 | 5 | 4 | 37 | PFC(H) / MMB (A) / DEM(A) / SCG (A)
    2. Salgaocar FC :   20 | 10 | 6 | 4 | 34 |  RUFC(H) / PFC (A) / SCG (A ) / CB (H)
    3. Pune FC         :  19 | 8 | 5 | 6 | 30 |  BFC(A) / SAL (H) / KEB(A) / KEB (H) / DEM (H)
    4. Sporting Club :   19 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 29|  KEB(A) / RUFC (A) /  CB (H) / SAL (H) / BFC (H)
    5. Shillong Lajong: 20 | 7 | 5 | 8 | 29 |  MFC (H) / MDSP(A) / MMB (A) / RUFC (A) /  
    6. East Bengal   :    18 | 7 | 4 | 7 | 28 |  SCG(H) /MDSP (A) / PFC(H) / PFC (A) / CB (A) / USC (A)
    1. Bengaluru FC :   41 (predicted) , at best can reach 40 if they lose they probably let title slip *
    2. Sporting Club :   36 (predicted) , unlikely to even reach this by end of season !
    3. Pune FC         :   37 (predicted) dropped too many points & have the toughest fixtures to come
    4. Shillong Lajong : 30 (predicted) as expected won game at home and valuable away draws
    5. Salgaocar FC :   37 (predicted) , slipped up vs USC but need to go on another run to clinch title
    6. East Bengal   :    30 ( 18 games)   dropped 2 valuable points yesterday , will be the spoilers
    * PFC beat BFC they will have superior head to head / BFC has better head to head with Salgaocar

    @gaffertape Probably we will need another update after this round on your prediction few posts ago. May be Dempo is again in the Title run. and for Jekyl and Hyde team Churchill Brothers :D

    @Ashlesh I have same question too but the WIFA people are not giving any answer. Probably they have no permission even now.

    Upcoming TV Telecast at Ten Action

    April 5th  Mohammedan Sporting vs East Bengal   5:00 PM

    April 6th  Sporting Clube de Goa vs Churchill Brothers 4:00 PM

    April 6th Mohun Bagan vs Bangalore FC  6:00 PM
  • So its official, matches will be held at Cooperage. The Ten Action listing shows both Mumbai's matches to be telecasted live. Also probably for the first time, match at Kalyani will be held under flood lights. Overall a good telecast schedule with lot of double headers. Icing on the cake would be Debayan Sen commentating in these matches.
