ISL 2017: Predicted XI for Bengaluru FC

Forwards

Bengaluru FC's talisman

Left wing: Udanta Singh

When you are one of the two players that are retained from a talented squad by the club, you know your importance to that football side. Udanta was one of the two players that Bengaluru FC retained for the ISL. The Manipuri winger is a fan-favourite among fans of the Blues. He loves to dribble, create chances and take on defenders and The tricky winger will be looking to put behind his forgetful stint with Mumbai City FC in the ISL.

Right wing: Toni Dovale

The man from Rayo Vallecano has been instrumental in the club's run to the AFC inter-zonal playoff final. He is creative on the flanks and is a tough one to mark. Still just 27, Dovale has his best years ahead of him and Bengaluru FC will be eager to see his magic at the biggest of stages in the ISL. He is also the third Spaniard to be signed by the Blues after Juanan and Dimas Delgado, who add a Spanish flavour to this Bengaluru outfit.

Striker: Sunil Chhetri

The man with the golden right foot has been a Bengaluru FC legend since making his debut for the side. Chhetri often plays a sole striker upfront and has done a splendid job for both Ashley Westwood and Albert Roca. Changing loyalties in the ISL, Chhetri will have one eye on winning the league for the first time in his illustrious career and the other on securing the golden boot.
