Chennaiyin FC vs East Bengal FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

This should be another close game between two sides struggling to find form. Chennaiyin FC's home advantage will make a difference for them but they're running out of time to consolidate a good run of wins in order to push themselves firmly toward the playoff places.

East Bengal has the quality in their ranks to finish in the top 6, but the team hasn't come together quite as well as expected.

Rafael Crivellaro, Cleiton Silva, Connor Shields, Nandhakumar Sekar, and Ankit Mukherjee are the only real must-haves for this match, with the likes of Javier Siverio, Rahim Ali, and Farukh Choudhary in attack, and Jose Pardo and Mandar Dessai in defense, quality differentials.

Crivellaro, Cleiton, and Connor Shields are the best captaincy picks on paper.
