FC Goa vs East Bengal FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Fresh off a 3-1 win over the Blasters, FC Goa will be eager to pick up another three points from this game and are the favorites on paper. Naorem Mahesh Singh and Cleiton Silva are the only East Bengal players I feel are must-haves.

Meanwhile, the highly influential Iker Guarrotxena, Edu Bedia, Noah Sadaoui, and Aibanbha Dohling are the players I feel are necessary picks from FC Goa. The likes of Redeem Tlang, Brandon Fernandes, Alex Lima, and VP Suhair are differentials with a high points-ceiling.

Cleiton Silva, Noah Sadaoui, and Iker Guarrotxena would be my preferred captaincy picks.


Fantasy Suggestion #1: Dheeraj Singh, Anwar Ali, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Aibanbha Dohling, Alex Lima, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Iker Guarrotxena, Edu Bedia, Redeem Tlang, Noah Sadaoui, and Cleiton Silva.
