Buriram with 2 ex Socceroos defenders in Curtis Good (scored a goal) & Kenneth Dougall. They only had 2 Thais starting.
ALM season hasn't started yet, CCM had a similar big change over of players last off season, plus lost their first 4 ALM games - yet still went on to win 3 titles.
But just feel this season the odds are they can't repeat that success. Torres, Balard, Nisbet, Farrell, Hall & Vukovic are all big Outs, and they must be due a dud new visa player. Futhermore they need to juggle AFC Champions League Elite games through the early part of the season. A much tougher comp that the secondary AFC Cup they won last campaign.
