Chennaiyin FC vs Kerala Blasters FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Given both the teams' last couple of games, we can expect this one to be a goal-fest. Abdenasser El Khayati is lighting up the league with Chennaiyin FC, and along with players like Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, Julius Duker, Dimitris Diamantakos, Adrian Luna, and Petar Sliskovic, there are many exciting Dream11 options you can back in this game.

The likes of Rahul KP, K Prasanth, Sahal Abdul Samad, and even Rahim Ali are excellent differentials, and selecting the right combination among them could prove to be the difference. El Khayati and the in-form Dimitris Diamantakos would be my first-choice captaincy picks.

Between Chennaiyin's home advantage and goalscoring form and the quality of this Kerala side, this should be a close, yet high-scoring game.


Fantasy Suggestion #1: Prabhsukhan Gill, Fallou Diagne, Aakash Sangwan, Marko Leskovic, Rahul KP, Julius Duker, Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, Abdenasser El Khayati, Adrian Luna, Dimitris Diamantakos, and Petar Sliskovic.

Captain: Abdenasser El Khayati. Vice-captain: Dimitris Diamantakos.

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Debjit Majumder, Aakash Sangwan, Ruivah Hormipam, Marko Leskovic, Sahal Abdul Samad, Julius Duker, Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, K Prasanth, Adrian Luna, and Petar Sliskovic.

Captain: Petar Sliskovic. Vice-captain: Adrian Luna.
