Without any further ado, let's take a look at the three players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today's NOE vs MBG match.
Sahal Abdul Samad (MBG) - 8.5 Credits
The attacking 26-year-old midfielder from Kerala, Sahal Abdul Samad has assisted his teammates on four occasions in this campaign, leading the team’s assists tally. Overall, he is at the second position among the players with most assists.
The 2018-19 season's emerging player of the year Samad is yet to find the net in this edition. However, on-pitch performance so far has been impressive, giving some valuable fantasy points.
Armando Sadiku (MBG) - 7.5 Credits
The ISL champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant have roped in the Albanian attacking talent prior to this season. The center-forward has netted three times in six games with seven shots on target.
The 32-year-old is currently ranked fourth among the players with most goals in this campaign. He's leading his team's tally with 80% passing accuracy, having played 272 minutes. Sadiku is one of the players to watch out for in this contest.
Dimitri Petratos (MBG) - 8.5 Credits
The Mariners would be delighted to see the comeback of their forward Dimitros Petratos, who missed out a few games due to a hamstring injury. MBG is going to strengthen their side with Petrators joining back alongside Jason Cummings, Armando Sadiku, and Suhail Bhat.
With two goals and one assist from four matches, Petratos has had an impressive start to the competition. With four shots on target at an 82% passing accuracy, the Australian forward is the perfect player to have as a skipper in your fantasy XI.
