I found the squad lists by poking around the AFC homepage. No real surprises, but several players with foreign citizenship are omitted due to differences in squad registration rules between the J-League and the ACL: Bueno, Eduardo (injured) Blue: Foreign Red: AFC Urawa Red Diamonds Goalkeepers 1 NISHIKAWA SHUSAKU 23 IWADATE NAO 25 ENOMOTO TETSUYA 28 FUKUSHIMA HARUKI Defenders 4 NASU DAISUKE 5 MAKINO TOMOAKI 6 ENDO WATARU 17 YU TAMURA 46 MORIWAKI RYOTA Midfields 3 UGAJIN TOMOYA 7 UMESAKI TSUKASA 10 KASHIWAGI YOSUKE 14 HIRAKAWA TADAAKI 15 NAGASAWA KAZUKI 16 AOKI TAKUYA 18 KOMAI YOSHIAKI 22 ABE YUKI 24 SEKINE TAKAHIRO 26 ITO RYOTARO 38 KIKUCHI DAISUKE 39 SHINYA YAJIMA Forwards 8 RAFAEL DA SILVA 9 MUTO YUKI 13 TAKAGI TOSHIYUKI 19 ONAIWU ADO 20 LEE TADANARI 21 ZLATAN LJUBIJANKIC 30 KOHROGI Kashima Antlers Goalkeepers No. Name 1 KWOUN SUNTAE 21 SOGAHATA HITOSHI 29 KAWAMATA SHINICHIRO 31 KOIZUMI YUTO Defenders 3 SHOJI GEN 5 UEDA NAOMICHI 15 YUTO MISAO 16 YAMAMOTO SHUTO 22 NISHI DAIGO 23 ITSUKI ODA 24 ITO YUKITOSHI 28 MACHIDA KOKI Midfields 4 HUGO LEONARDO SEREJO 6 RYOTA NAGAKI 8 DOI SHOMA 11 WEVERSON LEANDRO MOURA 13 NAKAMURA ATSUTAKA 20 MISAO KENTO 25 ENDO YASUSHI 26 KUBOTA KAZUNE 27 UMEBACHI TAKAHIDE 33 MU KANAZAKI 36 TOSHIYA TANAKA 40 OGASAWARA MITSUO Forwards 7 PEDRO JUNIOR 9 SUZUKI YUMA 14 TAKESHI KANAMORI 18 AKASAKI SHUHEI 30 HIROKI ABE Kawasaki Frontale Goalkeepers 1 JUNG SUNGRYONG 24 ANDO SHUNSUKE 30 ARAI SHOTA 31 WILLIAM POPP Defenders 2 NOBORIZATO KYOHEI 3 TATSUKI NARA 4 IGAWA YUSUKE 7 KURUMAYA SHINTARO 17 TAKEOKA YUTO 18 ELSON DE SOUZA 28 ITAKURA KOU 29 MICHAEL FITZGERALD Midfields 5 TANIGUCHI SHOGO 6 TASAKA YUSUKE 8 ABE HIROYUKI 10 RYOTA OHSHIMA 13 MIYOSHI KOJI 14 NAKAMURA KENGO 16 HASEGAWA TATSUYA 19 MORIYA KENTARO 21 EDUARDO NETO 25 KANO KENTA 32 TANAKA AO 41 IENAGA AKIHIRO Forwards 9 MORIMOTO TAKAYUKI 11 KOBAYASHI YU 20 KEI CHINEN 22 RHAYNER SANTOS NASCIMENTO 27 OTSUKA SHOHEI Gamba Osaka Goalkeepers 1 HIGASHIGUCHI MASAAKI 16 TAJIRI KEN 18 FUJIGAYA YOSUKE 19 SUZUKI RYOTA Defenders 2 MIURA GENTA 3 FABIO DA SILVA 4 FUJIHARU HIROKI 5 NIWA DAIKI 6 KIM JUNGYA 14 YONEKURA KOKI 22 OH JAESUK 32 NODA HIROKI 35 HATSUSE RYO Midfields 7 ENDO YASUHITO 8 IDEGUCHI YOSUKE 10 KURATA SHU 15 KONNO YASUYUKI 24 IDE HARUYA 25 FUJIMOTO JUNGO 28 YOMESAKA SHOTA 36 ICHIMARU MIZUKI 38 DOAN RITSU 39 JIN IZUMISAWA 40 RYOTARO MESHINO Forwards 9 ADEMILSON BRAGA BISPO JUNIOR 13 GOYA HIROTO 20 NAGASAWA SHUN 26 SENOO NAOYA 30 HIRAO SO 37 TAKAGI AKITO
No Jeff, as expected. He would require an AFC foreign player slot in the ACL. Even now when Dudu comes back they'll have to decide which of the Brazilians to omit for the knockout stage.
Urawa starting 11: Apart from Kashiwagi (who is injured) the standard line-up from last season. Chemistry!!!
Makino. 3-0. Urawa players are really good at timing with the offside flag, they have not been called for offside much in the game.
Normally J league clubs start slow and end strong, this year they already started winning their first matches. Which of the J league clubs you guys think have the biggest chance of winning ACL btw? They will still have to go through Guangzhou tho.
Good start indeed, let's see if the 2 other teams can follow up later today. Both teams should have decent chances of picking up 3 points, although Adelaide are in-season and Suwon are unbeaten on their last 4 matches played in Japan ( 0-0 vs Reysol, 2-1 vs Urawa, 2-1 vs Reysol and 2-1 vs Gamba). Surprised to see Seoul lose 0-1 at home vs SIPG yesterday, have them as the by far best Korean team this year. Don't think any of the other 3 will go far. Well maybe Suwon can challenge Kawasaki for 2nd behind Evergrande. Muang Thong also picked up a very strong result in Australia!
I think Evergrande should be the favourites to win this year based on past results but would really like to see a J league team preferably Kashima win this year.
Gamba goes ahead on a towering header by Nagasawa, assisted by a perfectly placed cross from Oh Jae-Suk.
Like every year - Reds or Gamba. Reds had to play against Guangzhou last year and it didn't look like there was any gap between both teams. But they choked in the final minutes during away game in South Korea which they should get past and get to the next round. I'm pretty sure that Frontale won't be too competitive this year after big changes. Antlers might go with the flow from the end of the last year but a home win against Ulsan doesn't say too much about their strenght in my opinion.
Kawasaki does have the weakest squad imo. I think Gamba will go further than Reds because Kenta Hasegawa is the best cup manager in the league maybe other than Moriyasu imo.
there's no such a thing as a "cup manager". They crashed out miserably last year and their team is even weaker this season.
