Jamshedpur FC vs Mumbai City FC: JFC vs MCFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - March 8, 2024
Jamshedpur FC (JFC) take on Mumbai City FC (MCFC) in the final fixture of Matchweek 18 of ISL 23/24 on Friday, March 8, at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur.
Jamshedpur FC are currently placed in seventh place on the points table, with 20 points in 18 matches, and they're involved in a six-team race for the sixth and final spot in the playoffs. Every game from here on is crucial for Khalid Jamil's side, especially after the Steelers' 3-0 defeat against MBSG last week.
Their opponents, Mumbai City FC, meanwhile have a gilt-edged opportunity to go to the top of the ISL 23/24 points table with a draw or a win in this match after Odisha FC's shock defeat against Chennaiyin.
The Islanders will be wary of the hosts in this match, especially after their tough previous outing against Punjab FC, where they had to claw their way back to secure a 3-2 win. Iker Guarrotxena's brace completed the comeback for MCFC, but the Spaniard suffered a hamstring strain that could keep him out of this one.

Jamshedpur FC vs Mumbai City FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Jamshedpur FC will certainly go into this game as the underdogs, but backing their attacking stalwarts Jeremy Manzorro and Daniel Chima Chukwu is a must, especially with the MCFC defense looking porous. With Iker Guarrotxena out, the Islanders should be going with a front three of Vikram Pratap Singh, Bipin Singh, and Chhangte, and having a minimum of two out of those three are essential.
This should be a goal-filled contest, and going with a three-man defense should be ideal. Jeremy Manzorro, Vikram Pratap Singh, Daniel Chima Chukwu, and Chhangte are the best captaincy picks.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: TP Rehenesh, Tiri, Rahul Bheke, PC Ladinpuia, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Alberto Noguera, Yoell van Nieff, Jeremy Manzorro, Daniel Chima Chukwu, Vikram Pratap Singh, and Bipin Singh.
Captain: Jeremy Manzorro. Vice-captain: Lallianzuala Chhangte.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Phurba Lachenpa, Pratik Chaudhari, Rahul Bheke, Akash Mishra, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Lalengmawia Ralte, Elsinho, Jeremy Manzorro, Daniel Chima Chukwu, Vikram Pratap Singh, and Bipin Singh.
Captain: Vikram Pratap Singh. Vice-captain: Daniel Chima Chukwu.
