Goalkeepers

Karanjit Singh: The Chennaiyin FC shot-stopper has been in fine form, helping his team to boast one of the best defensive records of ISL 2017/18. With ATK having scored just seven goals so far, Karanjit has a good chance of extending his clean sheet count.

Defenders

Jordi Montel: Jordi Montel has done well so far for ATK. He has helped his team build from the back and keep all attacking threats under check. The 30-year-old is also a threat on the set pieces and is capable of scoring offensive and defensive points as well.

Henrique Sereno: Sereno has already scored once and also assisted once. The Super Machans captain’s aerial prowess means he is also a threat in the opposition box and can contribute both defensively and offensively.

Jerry Lalrinzuala: The 19-year-old produced a fine performance in Chennaiyin FC’s win against FC Pune City. Last season’s emerging player impressed with his energy going forward. Jerry’s potential at both ends makes him a must pick for your fantasy teams. With ATK’s offensive troubles Jerry is a good bet for your fantasy teams.

Keegan Pereira: The experienced left back has done well defensively, as well as while going forward for ATK. The 30-year-old has made 21 tackles so far, the most by a ATK defender, his nine interceptions are also the second most by a ATK defender.

Ryan Taylor: The Englishman has impressed at the heart of midfield with his calmness on the ball and distribution. The 33-year old former Newcastle player is dangerous with his set pieces and has also contributed defensively making 15 tackles in 6 matches.

Nelson: Despite Chennaiyin FC losing their last match, Nelson was arguably Chennaiyin FC’s best player impressing with his energy, pace and direct running. The 29-year-old will be one of Chennaiyin FC’s threats going forward.

Raphael Augusto: Augusto started the season superbly scoring two goals in his first two matches but has gone off the boil in his recent matches but still produced an assist for the winner for Chennaiyin FC’s win against FC Pune City. The Brazilian’s class and quality means he is a must pick for your fantasy teams.

Forwards

Jeje: Jeje has failed to score in his last two matches but the “Mizo Sniper” has scored six goals so far and is the highest scorer for the “Super Machans”. The 26-year-old will look to score and join Sunil Chhetri as the top scoring Indian this season.

Robbie Keane: Robbie Keane missed the last match due to injury but is expected to return for the fixture. The 38-year-old has proved his quality scoring in each of his last two matches helping ATK collecting four points in the process. He will be ATK’s biggest threat.
