East Bengal FC vs Kerala Blasters FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
While the Blasters aren't in great form themselves, they enter this game as the favourites. With plenty of regular starters like Sahal Abdul Samad and Alexandre Lima not expected to start, new players could enter the fray as viable Dream11 picks.
Ruivah Hormipam, Adrian Luna, Cleiton Silva, Naorem Mahesh Singh and Rahul KP are the only four players I feel are must-haves. The likes of Jordan O'Doherty, Jeakson Singh, Bryce Miranda and Apostolos Giannou should be good differentials.
Adrian Luna, Cleiton Silva and Dimitris Diamantakos would be my preferred captaincy picks.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Kamaljit Singh, Jessel Carneiro, Ruivah Hormipam, Ivan Gonzalez, VP Suhair, Rahul KP, Bryce Miranda, Naorem Roshan Singh, Dimitris Diamantakos, Cleiton Silva, Adrian Luna
Captain: Cleiton Silva | Vice-Captain: Dimitris Diamantakos
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Karanjit Singh, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Ruivah Hormipam, Sarthak Golui, Jordan O'Doherty, Rahul KP, Jeakson Singh, Naorem Roshan Singh, Apostolos Giannou, Cleiton Silva, Adrian Luna
Captain: Adrian Luna | Vice-Captain: Naorem Roshan Singh
