How are ISL points calculated?

ISL Points Table 2022-23: Get ISL team rankings (updated) and standings The ISL points table visually represents the current state of the football clubs of the ongoing season. It considers the number of wins, losses, draws, and the ratio of goals scored and conceded by teams to rank them.

A total of 115 matches ( 110 league games and five playoff/knockout matches ) are played in a single ISL season. On Friday, March 3, 2023, Hyderabad FC defeated Kerala Blasters 1-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to qualify for the playoffs from the second position on the ISL points 2022-23 table. The Nizams sit after Mumbai City FC are followed by ATK Mohun Bagan FC in the third place.

Bengaluru FC, Kerala Blasters and Odisha FC occupy fourth, fifth and sixth places.

Standings	Clubs	Matches Played	Wins	Draws	Losses	Points
1	Mumbai City FC	20	14	4	2	46
2	Hyderabad FC	20	13	3	4	42
3	ATK Mohun Bagan FC	20	10	4	6	34
4	Bengaluru FC	20	11	1	8	34
5	Kerala Blasters	20	10	1	9	31

7	FC Goa	20	8	3	9	27

11	NorthEast United FC	20	1	2	17	5

The primary aim of every team during the league stage is to finish within the top six positions of the points table, which in turn helps them to qualify for the ISL playoffs, The added incentive for finishing at the top of the points table in the league stage is the ISL League Winners Shield,

A club is allotted 3 points for every win in the league stages.
1 point is given for a draw, which is shared by both the teams drawing the match.
For a defeat, a club is allotted zero points

However, the points table is not this simple and the calculation gets complicated as the season progresses. With each team playing 20 matches during the league stage, the number of points earned by two or more teams overlaps numerous times. In such a scenario, the following criteria are used to determine the clubs’ positions.

If two teams are tied on the same point, then the team with more points in head-to-head between the clubs get the higher position.
If the head-to-head doesn’t separate the two teams, then the team with a superior goal difference in matches played between the two clubs is given priority.
If the goal difference in their concerned matches cannot determine the position of the two teams, then the team with more goals moves to the higher position.
In the unlikely scenario that the goals scored by the two teams fail to separate them, then their goal difference in the entire league is taken into consideration.
The process continues with eventually the team with the highest fair play ranking is considered to stay above.
The last resort is a draw.

Which is the strongest team in hero ISL?

Hero ISL 2022-23: Ranking all teams in terms of their efficiency in front of goal

Creativity and being clinical are hallmarks of a dominant goalscoring team. In the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23, there are a select few teams who have been efficient at converting their chances and have required fewer chances to score one goal, making up for an efficient chance-to-goal conversion rate. However, there are other teams who haven’t been able to find the back of the net regularly despite creating several chances, falling prey to their lack of clinical edge in front of the goal. On that note, we rank the most efficient goalscoring Hero ISL sides in the 2022-23 campaign, based on the chances needed per goal scored:

11. Jamshedpur FC – 9.9 chances Having created 209 chances, third most in the league, the Men of Steel have lacked precision in front of goal, having scored 21 goals, ranking tenth across all teams this season. The Aidy Boothroyd-led side haven’t found rhythm when it comes to their goalscoring attributes.

Despite the flair of Rafael Crivellaro in the midfield and the link-up play of Daniel Chima Chukwu in the attacking third, the former Hero ISL League Shield winners have the lowest chance-to-goal conversion rate in the league at 10%.10. ATK Mohun Bagan – 9.3 chances It is indeed surprising to see the Hero ISL champions this low with respect to their efficiency in front of the goal.

While talisman Dimitri Petratos was firing across all cylinders for the Mariners with 12 goals and seven assists, the side were unable to conclude their chances with a goal output, leading to 28 goals across all 24 games, ranking eighth in the goalscoring charts.

With 260 chances this season, the Green and Maroons were second to only Mumbai City FC who created three more chances than them (263). Out of those 260 chances, they have only converted 10.8% of those opportunities. The over reliability on the duo of Dimitri Petratos and Hugo Boumous – who were at the forefront of chance creation as well as chance conversion (109 chances and 28 goal contributions combined) – led to inefficiency in front of the goal.9.

Kerala Blasters FC – 6.9 chances With 194 chances this season, one less than the previous one, there has not been much improvement in the chance creation aspect of the Blasters. Talisman Adrian Luna has continued to brew his creativity all over the pitch and remains the prime creator with 48 chances. =7. NorthEast United FC – 6.4 chances The Highlanders might not have scored plenty of goals this season but they certainly have made the most out of their chances creation. With 128 chances, the Guwahati-based side have managed to net 20 goals, thereby converting 15.6% of those opportunities.

While there might have been influence in the gameplay of the team after managerial changes midway through the season, the side have been able to convert with their limited chances, requiring just 6.4 chances to score one goal. =7. Bengaluru FC – 6.4 chances The Blues had a divided season in terms of chance creation and conversion.

The first-half of the season saw the side creating chances aplenty but were unable to convert it. After several tweaks by head coach Simon Grayson, the side became a cohesive unit and were thriving with goals with key playmaker and goalscorer Javi Hernandez at the helm.

Requiring 6.4 chances per goal, the Bengaluru-based side had a conversion rate of 15.7% which helped them give a massive boost in their run-up to the final involving a 10-game winning streak.6. Odisha FC – 6.3 chances Having scored 30 goals from 188 chances, the Juggernauts have not shied in front of the goal.

Golden Boot winner Diego Mauricio has been able to highly benefit from the chances created and has thrived on the interplay between Raynier Fernandes, Saul Crespo, Isaac Vanmalsawma, Victor Rodriguez, Nandakumar Sekar, and Jerry Mawihmingthanga. The Josep Gombau-led side converted 16% of their chances which has been a huge difference maker in their historic playoff finish this season in comparison to their 140 chances of last season.

=4. Chennaiyin FC – 5.6 chances Under head coach Thomas Brdaric, Chennaiyin FC looked a completely different side, being able to breach opponents with their high tempo and attacking gameplay.
The signings of Aakash Sangwan, Abdenasser El Khayati, Julius Duker, and Petar Sliskovic paid off as they were vital in creating chances for the side.

Having created 203 chances, the side were able to finish 17.7% of their chances. With 36 goals, the Marina Machans were the joint-second goalscoring team alongside Hyderabad FC and FC Goa. While they were able to find the back of the net regularly, the side’s recurring problems at the back posed a big obstacle in their pursuit of a playoff finish.

=4. East Bengal FC – 5.6 chances With limited opportunities, East Bengal FC have finished off the chances that have come their way.
Ranking at the bottom of the league with 124 chances, the Stephen Constantine-led side were able to finish 17.7% of those opportunities, leading to 22 goals.
Lining up with a 4-4-2 formation, the Red and Golds relied heavily on two players for chance creation and conversion – Naorem Mahesh Singh and Cleiton Silva.

Out of those 22 goals, 12 alone were scored by Silva while seven were assisted by Naorem. =2. Hyderabad FC – 5.5 chances The former Hero ISL champions have had a slight dip in chance creation and conversion as compared to last season. Requiring just 5.5 chances to score a goal, Hyderabad FC have been efficient in scoring goals despite the tweaks made by head coach Manolo Marquez, making the team more compact at the back.

Having created 200 chances this season, the lack of an outright playmaker led the team to create less chances this season.
However, the side were able to net 36 goals from 200 chances, leading to a goal conversion rate of 18%. =2.
FC Goa – 5.5 chances Creating 200 chances in 20 games, the Gaurs were always on the prowl for scoring goals.

However, their two main goal contributors – Noah Sadaoui (18 goal contributions) and Iker Guarrotxena (11 goal contributions) scored the majority of the goals and lacked additional support from the team in order to net more goals. Brandon Fernandes was the prime playmaker with 41 chances followed by Edu Bedia with 37.

Netting 36 goals in the process, the Carlos Pena-coached side had a chance-to-goal conversion rate of 17.7%.
The Goan outfit have not enjoyed their best of campaigns after failing to make it to the playoffs for a second consecutive season but the efficiency of their attackers could provide some solace to their supporters 1.

Mumbai City FC – 4.7 chances It is no surprise to see Mumbai City FC topping the list after a record-shattering and breath-taking Hero ISL 2022-23 campaign. Arguably, the most outstanding side across the league, the Hero ISL Shield winners scored the highest number of goals this season (56).

The entire team was run as a well-oiled machine by head coach Des Buckingham. Four players – Greg Stewart, Jorge Diaz, Ahmed Jahouh, and Lallianzuala Chhangte created more than 30 chances, highest among any other team in the league. Chhangte and Bipin Singh have been menacing down the wings while Jorge Diaz has been multifaceted in the final third, coupled with Stewart’s attacking prowess.

With 263 chances, the Islanders were able to finish off 21.3% of those opportunities, more than any other team in the league. : Hero ISL 2022-23: Ranking all teams in terms of their efficiency in front of goal

Is ATK and Mohun Bagan same?

ATK Mohun Bagan beat Bengaluru FC to become the ISL Champion this season. | Photo Credit: Focus Sports/ ISL ATK Mohun Bagan beat Bengaluru FC to become the ISL Champion this season. | Photo Credit: Focus Sports/ ISL Indian Super League 2022-23 champion ATK Mohun Bagan will be officially renamed as Mohun Bagan Super Giant from June 1, the club announced on Wednesday.

The change in name would happen is something the club owner Sanjiv Goenka had already said after the Mariners beat Bengaluru FC in the ISL 2022-23 final at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa, earlier this year. “From next season the club will be known as Mohun Bagan Super Giant. We were waiting for the win to announce it,” Goenka had said after the final.

The roots of the football club started initially in 2014, when it was named Atletico de Kolkata. The team won the inaugural edition of the tournament, beating Kerala Blasters in the final. That season saw the club bring on former Champions League winner with Liverpool, Luis Garcia in as its marquee player.

In 2020, the club merged with one of India’s oldest football clubs, Mohun Bagan to become ATK Mohun Bagan. It reached the finals in its first full season under the new name. In March this year, the team won its first silverware, beating Bengaluru 4-3 on penalties. Meanwhile, fans of Mohun Bagan have protested against the prefix ‘ATK’ and have staged multiple protests against the same.

Banners reading ‘Goenka Out’ and ‘Remove ATK’ have been seen in the home matches of Mariners. After winning the ISL title, Goenka made teh change known and on May 17, the official Twitter handle of the club confirmed the date for the official change.

Who is the best defenders in ISL?

From Akash Mishra to Anwar Ali: Top defenders to watch out for in ISL 2023-24 “Attack wins you games; defence wins you titles” – this famous quote from Sir Alex Ferguson remains significant to this day, with the team having the best defence often clinching the coveted trophy they’re competing for. The Indian Super League (ISL) have been no exception.

The ISL has witnessed the rise of exceptional defensive talents. Statistics have consistently shown that having a rock-solid defence is pivotal for success in the league. This fact has been clearly illustrated by teams like Mumbai City FC, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, and Hyderabad FC, who have prioritized having a solid defensive unit and dominated the league in recent seasons.

While the ISL have seen several top foreign talents taking charge of defensive duties, Indian players haven’t lagged far behind when it comes to showcasing the art of defending. Names like Anwar Ali, Sandesh Jhingan, and Akash Mishra have become household names among Indian football enthusiasts. Mishra was the most consistent defender for Hyderabad FC over the last two ISL seasons. Whether it’s his positioning, off-the-ball movements, blocking crosses, or making timely tackles, Mishra checks all the boxes. His marauding runs down the left flank, coupled with his defensive solidity, make him one of the top left-backs in the league.

Mishra’s work rate and pinpoint crosses significantly contribute to his side’s attacking prowess. Now, with his move to Mumbai City FC, he will enjoy more freedom to venture forward, as the Islanders’ head coach, Des Buckingham, likes to harness the potential of his full-backs. The Indian international could form a potent partnership with Bipin Singh on the left flank, further enhancing their attacking threat down that side.

Fantasy potential: A full-back with such an expansive attacking skill set, Mishra could be the ideal addition to your team. Anwar Ali (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) The Indian international is renowned for his awareness, distribution, and positioning. He has also demonstrated his success in one-on-one situations. Besides meeting all the criterias for a defender, Ali has showcased his proficiency in scoring from set pieces, which adds another dimension to his contributions on the field.

Last season, Ali scored one goal and provided two assists. Besides, he made 36 tackles, 25 interceptions, 80 clearances, and 34 blocks. The 23-year-old has been in excellent form since his arrival at Mohun Bagan Super Giant, having already notched three goals for his team, and he has been a stalwart at the back during their Durand Cup triumph and in the AFC Cup qualifiers.

Fantasy potential: A goal-scoring defender who has now joined the team that kept the most clean sheets last season, Ali is a must-pick for your team. Mourtada Fall (Odisha FC) Having made 99 appearances in the ISL, Senegalese defender Fall is also approaching a significant milestone this season. The 6ft 3in towering defender will be reuniting with Sergio Lobera at Odisha FC and is set to play a big role for the Juggernauts in the upcoming season.

At 35, Fall has a wealth of experience under his belt, something he would like to share with other players on the team. His commanding presence and game-reading ability will greatly benefit Odisha FC on their new journey under Lobera. Boosted by his excellent heading accuracy, Fall is currently the highest-scoring defender in the league with 17 goals.

His timing and positioning when attacking crosses and corners have resulted in numerous goals for both FC Goa and Mumbai City FC, a trait he aims to continue at Odisha FC as well. Fantasy potential: With Odisha FC strengthening their defence, they can secure more clean sheets this season, and having a goal-scoring defender from that team is a clever move. Jhingan has been a pivotal figure for every club he has played for so far, and at his new club FC Goa, he is likely to continue that gold standard for defenders. Known for his commanding presence, exceptional aerial ability, and composed style of play, he could be an instrumental figure for Manolo Marquez’s side going into the tenth season of the ISL.

His leadership qualities and ability to read the game make him a true defensive stalwart and he is arguably the best Indian defender currently. Jhingan made 22 appearances in the ISL 2022-23 season for Bengaluru FC. Notably, he led the clearances chart last season with a remarkable 165 clearances, leaving the second-best, Odei Onaindia, who is now his teammate at FC Goa, far behind with 94 clearances.

Additionally, Jhingan dominated in aerial duels (118), which was more than double won by the second-best, Mourtada Fall (55). Fantasy potential: With Manolo Marquez earning plaudits for his sturdy defence, Sandesh Jhingan could be a solid pick for your fantasy team. The Montenegrin centre-back is destined for greatness. Damjanovic is proactive, and his physicality and athleticism make him a tough defender to beat. His impeccable reading of the game, combined with aerial prowess, makes him a force to reckon with. Few strikers found a way past this defensive stalwart last season as he stood tall for Mohun Bagan Super Giant during their ISL Cup triumph.

Damjanovic joined the Mariners halfway through last season and swiftly fit into their defence. In the ISL 2022-23 season, he made 22 tackles, 11 interceptions, 38 clearances, and 8 blocks. Now, having moved to Bengaluru FC for the upcoming season, the centre-back would be hoping to continue from where he left off last season.

Fantasy potential: Playing for the new defensive unit in the league, Damjanovic can rack up clean sheet points and occasional goal points. Aakash Sangwan (Chennaiyin FC) Sangwan has rapidly evolved into a highly versatile player during his time at Chennaiyin FC. The full-back is renowned for his dynamic playing style, which showcases a unique combination of defensive stability and attacking flair, making him a standout performer from the previous season.

With a powerful left foot and an exceptional ability to deliver pinpoint crosses, he consistently provides precise passes that create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates. In the ISL 2022-23 season, Sangwan recorded five assists, the highest number among defenders, while also contributing to the defensive resilience of the Marina Machans with 63 tackles, 33 interceptions, 36 clearances, and 41 blocks.

Fantasy potential: His proficiency in earning points from set pieces makes him a valuable asset for fantasy teams. : From Akash Mishra to Anwar Ali: Top defenders to watch out for in ISL 2023-24

Which team has best fan base in ISL?

The Blasters have the biggest fan base in the ISL and they marked their return to the Nehru Stadium in Kochi after a two-year break by painting their faces, singing loudly, and forming a sea of yellow.

It was a night of colours, songs and a return of familiar faces on the pitch and in the stands.
One familiar face was that of co-owner Abhishek Bachchan in an unfamiliar role.

Abhishek stepped onto the sidelines and took over the PA system to read out the names of the Chennaiyin players in the match-day squad, to loud cheers from the local supporters. The loudest fanfare was reserved for skipper Anirudh Thapa, the Dehradun-born footballer, who is into his seventh full season with Chennaiyin alongside Edwin Sydney Vanspaul, the only two players remaining in the squad back from 2020.

Indian Football: Praful Patel bats for parallel Indian Super League and I-League This means that the ISL is no more a private tournament but a recognised league under the aegis of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), AFC and FIFA.

Sportstar analyses the qualification scenarios for the five teams namely, KBFC, ATK Mohun Bagan, Bengaluru FC, FC Goa and Odisha FC. Kerala Blasters (Next fixtures: ATKMB, HFC) Kerala Blasters is in the driving seat for qualification, but has a very slim chance to miss out on the top six.

If it wins at least one of its next matches or draws both games, it should be enough for KBFC to seal a spot in the playoffs.
Even if it draws one match and loses the other, a spot in the playoffs could be clinched for last year’s finalists.
If it loses both games, the results of FCG, BFC and OFC will decide the Blasters’ fate for a playoff spot.

Any team with 31 or more points will then compare with KBFC and in case of equal points (31), the head-to-head, followed by H2H goal difference will finalise the top six. (refer to the ranking criteria) ATK Mohun Bagan (Next Fixtures: KBFC, EBFC) A minimum of four points from two games will be necessary for ATK Mohun Bagan to qualify, which means at least one win and a draw are needed from the remaining matches.

It will have a favourable fate if the win comes against Kerala Blasters. In that case, a loss in the other two matches will see it rely on head-to-head records to ascertain its fate for playoff qualification. (refer to the ranking criteria) Bengaluru FC (Next Fixtures: FCG) The Blues will need four points to cement its spot in the playoffs, i.e.

one win and one draw in the remaining two matches. If Bengaluru beats FC Goa, it will qualify despite earning just three points. If BFC beats MCFC and loses to FC Goa, then its qualification will depend on the h2h records and the results of other teams to decide its spot in the top six.

Bengaluru FC (@bengalurufc) February 13, 2023 FC Goa (Next fixtures: CFC, BFC) If FC Goa wins both of its next games, it is assured of a playoff berth as Bengaluru FC can then reach only a maximum of 31.
If Goa and Odisha end up in the same point (equal number of draws from the next two games) the Gaurs will go through thanks to its better head-to-head records.

(refer to the ranking criteria) Odisha FC (Next fixtures: NEUFC, JFC) The Juggernauts will need two wins to confirm spot in the playoffs. This means Josep Gombau’s side will look for two wins in two games against the lowest-ranked teams in the league this season.

Former Mumbai City FC goalkeeper Amrinder Singh became the first Indian to win the Golden Glove award in 2016 with five clean sheets in six matches.
Interestingly, he played 540 minutes in that edition – the bare minimum to be in contention for the award.
