apparently he hasnt recovered fro his "hairline fracture" yet and Malky Thomson doesnt want to rush him. Didnt know a hairline fracture takes more than a month to heal. Must be more to it.
Bengaluru FC is looking strong for the season ahead after finishing runner up in the I-league and Fed Cup champion. The
core squad is intact and addition new and young players will be good addition
to the squad. 10 under performing players have been released and 8 new players
in the squad for the current season.In addition to that 3 new support staff is also been added to condition the players and enhance performance of the squad. With fierce West Block blue fans support,This is the team to beat in the league.
Coach: Ashley Westwood - Player's coach, great lad, tough
guy. He will spire head the BFC boat again, he is people magician and know how
to get work done and he applauds the players for work done. He should be having
no issues taking club in right directions in 3rd season.
Goalkeeper: after having great last season Ralte will be
under the again. He is good enough for domestic season. New addition to the
squad Amrinder Singh from Pune, he too had good season in ISL with ATK but a
little shaky. Both players should have healthy competition to become number 1. Only
2 Gk in the squad might haunt them if any 1 gets injured in the long season
ahead.
Defenders: This season BFC has deepened the squad with Salam
and young Nishu. Johnny and Osano combination will be not easy to break for any
team with ease. With stable defenders squad in the league, Bengaluru defense
will protect the goal post sensible. After having less impact in ISL Rino Anto
should be rearing to go in the I-league. After losing the playing 11 position in
the NT, Mawia will back to playing 11 in BFC. Veteran NS Manju and Vishal will
be back up. Young player Nishu and Salam
decent backup to squad.
Midfileders : This is weak link BFC from the last season,
continued to be the same this season too. No creative midfielder is available
to boss the area in the league against all teams but it doesn’t mean they have
the weakest at least for i-league. Thoi singh had excellent season in ISL and
will be giving fight others in the starting 11 in BFC. Seasoned regular for NT
and BFC - Eugeneson will be the back bone again this season along with Josh.
decent season for CK Vineeth in ISL, pace of him will threat to opposition in
the league. Like Anto, Shankar also had average season in ISL, will looking
forward to be back to best in the I-league. Not impressive like first season or
lack of playing time have will impact on Beikhokhei. New signing Alywn george should
be looking to live up to expectation after derailing career and young gun
Malsawmzuala will be impressing Ashley to find a place in 11.
Forwards: A star in the attacking front shouldn’t have any
problems for scoring goals. Hardworking and Indian Captain, MVP of SAFF 2015
Sunil Chettri should be raring to go and lead the team. New signing Korean import Kim and Doungel will
be waiting to prove them self why they are best in the business. Daniel
Lalhlimpuia is injured for 4-5 weeks, Indian junior captain will wait to make
debut and will give healthy competition for the place in bench or starting 11 with Udanta. After
training stint in UK, This season should be breakthrough for Udanta and find
regular place in BFC with uncertainty loomed over Robin Singh.
You did missed the marquee player of BFC ( was marquee last season) Josh Walker. I feel the midfield is really good compared to last season. Throw udanta in the mix you have a stellar attacking mid-field (in terms of Indian players). Udanta though an striker is bound play as attacking right winger (more of midfield). I am just worried about defense to be precise central defense. A injury to Osano or Johnson, BFC will struggle.
Indeed I mentioned Josh in the post but he is not impact player nor worst player. A word will do good for him. hope he will prove me wrong this season.
@Maddie my bad I agree Josh is not impact player. But among all the defensive midfield players which BFC have, he is only one who could do the job. I dont see Shankar or Thoi to do the defensive job that effectively alone. So in midfield it would be in intial stages (when NT player will be rested for sure): Thoi----Josh Udanta/Beikho---Alwyn---Vineeth Kim But when Eugenson and Sunil are back: Thoi/Eugenson----Josh Udanta/Beikho---Alwyn/Eugenson---Vineeth/Sunil Kim

Prediction:
Top 2 finish in I-League
Round of 16 in AFC Cup
I feel the midfield is really good compared to last season. Throw udanta in the mix you have a stellar attacking mid-field (in terms of Indian players). Udanta though an striker is bound play as attacking right winger (more of midfield).
I am just worried about defense to be precise central defense. A injury to Osano or Johnson, BFC will struggle.
