NorthEast United FC vs Chennaiyin FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
This is a very tight game to call, with both teams yet to identify their match-winners. It'll be interesting to see whether Chennaiyin start the match with both Connor Shields and Jordan Murray and which one of them starts up top. Farukh Choudhary also looked really sharp for Chennaiyin and could be an interesting differential.
Asheef Akhtar, Jordan Murray, Parthib Gogoi, and Romain Philippoteaux look like must-haves courtesy their high ownership, with Michel Zabaco potentially joining that list.
Parthib Gogoi, Jordan Murray (or Connor Shields), Romain Philippoteaux, and Farukh Choudhary look like the best captaincy picks.
