East Bengal FC vs Bengaluru FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
This game is another hard one to call with neither side in particularly good form heading into it. The lack of point-scoring midfield options means that I'm restricting myself to pick only three midfielders in both of my suggestions. Namgyal Bhutia, Javi Hernandez, Alexandre Lima, Roy Krishna, and Cleiton Silva are the five players I feel are must-haves for this game.
I would not experiment too much with the captaincy for this match and keep it between Cleiton Silva, Javi Hernandez, or Alexandre Lima.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Kamaljit Singh (GK), Sandesh Jhingan, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Namgyal Bhutia, Charalambos Kyriakou, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Alexandre Lima, Javi Hernandez, Cleiton Silva, Sunil Chhetri, Roy Krishna.
Captain: Javi Hernandez. | Vice-Captain: Cleiton Silva.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (GK), Ivan Gonzalez, Lalchungnunga, Namgyal Bhutia, Aleksandar Jovanovic, Naorem Roshan Singh, Alexandre Lima, Javi Hernandez, Cleiton Silva, Roy Krishna, Semboi Haokip.
Captain: Cleiton Silva. Vice-Captain: Roy Krishna.
