Good from players perspective , they will be fitter (ones in NT)

Only concern is ... after fabulous performance in last I League .. players have been poached.. thus they are a much weaker team now..Only strategy could be Park the Bus for 90 minutes & attack on the counter..

Same gos for BFC, if the 37 year old chhatri gets injured BFC is nothing we know how shit Onwu is he is worst then khep player's, its Basudhara Kings who will qualify from the group SS this.

Maddie

Erik , Dimas, Raphael  and Juan is my choice for AFC Cup 2020. 3+1

If you guys are replacing onwu in January then, it should be new striker + Erik+Augusto+Juan or if not then Erik+Augusto+Juan and Siran

From this year Bangladesh clubs can sign 5 foreigners. Bashundara retained the world cup player daniel colindres and kyrg international player baktiyar. They also signed Tajik national team captain aktham nazrov ,Argentine defender Nicolas delmonte ,and Lebanese sensation ahmed kdouh. The Finnish player tariq kazi who recently acquired bangla citizenship also signed for them

Irrespective number of players signed by team, AFC regulations  is 3 +1 quota.

What is the injury status of Sandro ?

Their 3 + 1 Foreign Player quota looks like Manzi, Eslava, Santana plus Katsumi Yusa
