FC Goa takes on Jamshedpur FC in the first game of Matchday 5 of the Hero Indian Super League 2022-23 on Thursday, November 3, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa.
Despite their recent 1-0 defeat to Hyderabad FC, it's been a good start to the season for FC Goa, who won both their matches before facing the Nizams. They were unlucky not to get anything out of the game, with Alvaro Vazquez's missed penalties adding to their frustrations at full-time.
Meanwhile, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Jamshedpur FC. After inexplicably losing 2-3 to a late comeback from Odisha FC in their season opener, Jamshedpur have been solid in their next two games, drawing against Mumbai City FC before beating NorthEast United 1-0 last time out. They got plenty of chances against the Highlanders and should be scoring more goals.

FC Goa vs Jamshedpur FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
You can always expect a gritty and defensively sound game when Jamshedpur FC take the field, and that's the kind of game that's on the cards when these two sides meet. Both of them look well organized and tactically sound, and we should see an exciting contest, but one that could end up having a 1-1 or a 2-1 scoreline.
The first suggestion is a safer one, with more highly-owned players backed in every department. Edu Bedia, Brandon Fernandes and Iker Guarrotxena are the three FC Goa midfielders I've gone for, with Boris Singh from Jamshedpur as the fourth. The highly owned Noah Sadaoui and Daniel Chima Chukwu are joined in the forward line by Harry Sawyer.
In the second XI, I've retained only Aibanbha Dohling, Brandon, Guarrotxena, and Sawyer on my team. This one is a very differential suggestion and fairly risky at that, with both Bedia and Chukwu not in the team. However, I believe these players have good points potential in them to return.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: TP Rehenesh, Ricky Lallawmawma, Anwar Ali, Aibanbha Dohling, Brandon Fernandes, Boris Thangjam, Edu Bedia, Iker Guarrotxena, Noah Sadaoui, Daniel Chima Chukwu, and Harry Sawyer.
Captain: Edu Bedia. Vice-Captain: Daniel Chima Chukwu.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Arshdeep Singh, Laldinliana Renthlei, Peter Hartley, Marc Valiente, Aibanbha Dohling, Brandon Fernandes, Wellington Priori, Iker Guarrotxena, Ritwik Das, Redeem Tlang, and Harry Sawyer.
Captain: Brandon Fernandes. Vice-Captain: Harry Sawyer.
