#6 Bengaluru Bulls
Players eligible for FBM: Rohit Kumar, Lal Mohar Yadav, Sumit Singh, Vinod Kumar, Raju Lal Choudhary, Vijay Kumar, Mahender Singh, Sandeep, Ajay, Ankit, Ashish Sangwan & Sanjay Shresth'a
Target players for FBM: Mahender Singh & Rohit Kumar
Mahender Singh has been a wall at the left cover position for the Bengaluru Bulls, having scored 55+ tackle points consistently in every single season since PKL 5. Bulls will be confident in using the FBM card for the Services player in the PKL auction.
Rohit Kumar led the Bengaluru Bulls as the captain in their maiden title victory in PKL 6. Thanks to his immense contribution to the team as a dependable raider alongside Pawan Sehrawat, the Bengaluru Bulls could sign Rohit once again through the FBM card based upon their remaining purse.
#5 Haryana Steelers
Players eligible for FBM: Dharmaraj Cheralathan, Amithossein Maleki, Arun Kumar HN, Naveen Bazzad, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Selvamani K, Ravi Kumar, Vikas Kale, Sunil, Parveen, Subhash Narwal, Vikram Kandola, Kuldeep Singh & Tin Phonchoo
Target players for FBM: Sunil & Ravi Kumar
Sunil was Haryana Steelers' find of PKL 7 as the right corner led the defense with 55 tackle points and three High-5s. Sunil could perhaps be the first name for whom the Steelers will pick up the FBM card.
A veteran since PKL 2, Ravi Kumar had a memorable campaign in the seventh season, where the versatile cover defender scored 52 tackle points and four High-5s. The Steelers will aim to retain the Indian Railways' player to add depth to their defensive unit.
#4 U Mumba
Players eligible for FBM: Arjun Deshwal, Athul MS, Dong Geon Lee, Gaurav Kumar, Rohit Baliyan, Vinoth Kumar, Harsh Vardhan, Anil, Young Chang Ko, Surinder Singh, Sandeep Narwal & Mohit Baliyan
Target players for FBM: Arjun Deshwal & Sandeep Narwal
Similar to Abhishek Singh, Arjun Deshwal was also a revelation for U Mumba as a dependable raider. With three Super-10s and 104 raid points, the Uttarakhand-based raider could be U Mumba's pick through the FBM card.
Sandeep Narwal was U Mumba's most expensive pick in the PKL 7 auction, where the Season 2 champions bought him for a whopping INR 89 lakh. The Haryana-born all-rounder crossed the 300-tackle point mark and also formed a rock-solid pairing with Fazel Atrachali last season. Perhaps U Mumba could target Sandeep Narwal as an FBM pick if he is obtainable at a lower price at PKL Auction 2021.
#3 UP Yoddha
Players eligible for FBM: Rishank Devadiga, Shrikant Jadhav, Monu Goyat, Masud Karim, Ankush, Azad Singh, Gulveer Singh, Surender Singh, Ashish Nagar, Amit, Akram Shaikh, Gurdeep, Mohsen Maghsoudlou, Narender & Sachin Kumar
Target players for FBM: Shrikant Jadhav & Rishank Devadiga
With the defensive core retained ahead of PKL Auction 2021, UP Yoddha could retain the flamboyant Shrikant Jadhav, who has scored more than 140 raid points in each of the last two PKL seasons. It would bolster their raiding unit as the Maharashtrian raider has been superb over the years.
Veteran Rishank Devadiga has been UP Yoddha's top scorer in Pro Kabaddi history with 340 raid points since PKL 5. His immense experience and ability to lead the side with his expressive captaincy could influence UP Yoddha to regain his services through the FBM card.
#2 Dabang Delhi K.C.
Players eligible for FBM: Aman Kadian, Chandran Ranjith, Sumit Kumar, Joginder Narwal, Vishal Mane, Pratik Patil, Ravinder Pahal, Anil Kumar, Saeid Ghaffari, Satyawan, Sombir & Meraj Sheykh
Target players for FBM: Chandran Ranjith & Sombir
Tamilnadu's Chandran Ranjith has been a dependable raider in partnering Naveen Kumar for the past two seasons of PKL. He has scored 271 raid points, which has been crucial for Delhi's offensive unit in both seasons, where they have managed to reach the playoffs. Ranjith could be a solid pick as their first choice for the FBM card this year.
Although Sombir didn't get enough chances in PKL 7, he was sensational to watch as the top defender for the Services in the 68th Senior Nationals. Dabang Delhi can sign this young right corner, who could come as a budget pick through an FBM card for them.
#1 Bengal Warriors
Players eligible for FBM: Sukesh Hegde, K Prapanjan, Mohammad Taghi, Rakesh Narwal, Amit, Naveen Narwal, Baldev Singh, Jeeva Kumar, Viraj Vishnu Landge, Adarsh T, Dharmendra Singh, Amit Dhumal, Mayur Shivtarkar, Sourabh Tanaji Patil & Sunil Dubile
Target players for FBM: Baldev Singh & K Prapanjan
Right corner Baldev Singh stamped his authority as the fifth-best defender of PKL 7 with 66 tackle points. He played a pivotal role with Rinku Narwal in helping the Bengal Warriors clinch the title in PKL 7 and could again be a part of the defensive set-up as a majority pick through the FBM card.
K Prapanjan was the unsung hero for the Bengals in their maiden title victory. Prapanjan was brilliant on offense with Maninder Singh by his side. The raider has scored 100+ raid points in the last three seasons consecutively. It won't be a surprise if the Bengal Warriors reconsider K Prapanjan to strengthen their raiding unit in PKL 8.
