TheSportsRush brings Bengaluru FC players list 2018, as the previous season’s runners-up aim to seal the top spot in the ISL this season.
The new season of the Indian Super League is set to begin from October 29, with Kolkata-based outfit and two-time champions ATK taking on Kerala Blasters.
Bengaluru FC quit the I-League last season to join the ISL, after the AFC Cup was available. The Blues endured a poor start, losing three games in their first seven fixtures, but made a terrific comeback to finish at the top of the table.

The club brought in Xisco Hernandez, and Bhutanese star Chencho Gyeltshen as the marquee signings.
