Here are 3 players who could be the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the MCFC vs KBFC match of the ISL 2020-21 season.
#3 Hugo Boumous
Since joining Mumbai City FC from FC Goa in the off season, Hugo Boumous has continued to show his quality. With his tenacious play and ability to take on any defence in the ISL, Boumous is a lethal asset for the Islanders.
Boumous is always in the thick of things when it comes to the majority of the goals for the Mumbai side. He has four assists so far and is a good choice as the captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team.
#2 Jordan Murray
Kerala Blasters' Australian import Jordan Murray scored the second goal of his debut ISL season against Hyderabad FC. Head coach Kibu Vicuna is likely to prefer Murray over Gary Hooper in the attack.
The Blasters have an enterprising cast of midfielders comprising of players like Rahul KP, Vicente Gomez and Sahal Abdul Samad. Murray will be expected to thrive in the attack alongside Facundo Pereyra and add to his goals tally.
#1 Adam Le Fondre
Mumbai City FC No. 9 Adam Le Fondre is having a stellar debut campaign for the Islanders. In seven matches, the Englishman has notched up five goals and has established himself as the go-to man in attack.
With his lethal movement in and around the box, Le Fondre is always a threat in the Islanders' frontline. His penchant for goals makes him our top choice for the Dream11 captain or vice-captain of your team.
