ISL Fantasy: Best differential picks for Matchweek 4
Planning to add new players in your team for the upcoming Matchweek? We've identified some differentials that could score big.
Indian Super League (ISL) Fantasy managers face new challenges as Punjab FC, one of the two unbeaten teams in the league, has a blank game week in Matchweek 4. Key players like Filip Mrzljak, Nikhil Prabhu, and Nihal Sudheesh are popular choices, creating a dilemma for those who own them.
Similarly, table-toppers Bengaluru FC, the other unbeaten side, have a tough away match against Mumbai City FC. This situation requires managers to tread carefully with their strategies.
However, with plenty of tough fixtures in the Matchweek, we have handpicked some players that could score big for your team.
Devendra Murgaonkar (Hyderabad FC) - 4% ownership
Murgaonkar is one of the cheapest playing forwards in the game, priced at Rs 4.5 CR. If you have him in your squad, it may be worth considering starting him in the upcoming Matchweek. He has started both of Hyderabad FC’s matches so far and has been involved in several promising chances. With Thangboi Singto’s side demonstrating a flair for attacking football, you can expect the young forward to play a significant role against a wounded Chennaiyin FC side.
Borja Herrera (FC Goa) - 6% ownership
Herrera stole the spotlight in Matchweek 3 with a remarkable hat-trick against East Bengal FC, stepping up admirably in the absence of Armando Sadiku. While Sadiku may return for the match against NorthEast United FC, Herrera has proven that he can not only be a creative orchestrator but also a significant goal scorer for the team.
Ahmed Jahouh (Odisha FC) - 8% ownership
Jahouh remains a significant differential in the game, especially with his teammate Boumous being the highest-owned midfielder. Despite not registering a goal or assist in the match against Jamshedpur FC, Jahouh still managed to earn eight points, highlighting his potential to contribute significantly in future fixtures.
Madih Talal (East Bengal FC) - 9% ownership
Talal scored his first goal of the season from the penalty spot against FC Goa, earning eight points in Matchweek 3. He is currently one of East Bengal FC's top-scoring players in ISL Fantasy, alongside Anwar Ali. With the extent of Dimitrios Diamantakos's availability unknown, Talal appears to be the preferred penalty taker at the moment and could add value to your team despite being one of the more expensive midfielders in the game.
Franca (Mohammedan Sporting Club) - 4% ownership
For those willing to take a risk, adding Franca to your Fantasy team could be a smart move. He has developed a strong partnership with Alexis Gomez in attack and has started two consecutive matches. If he can capitalise on his chances against a struggling Mohun Bagan Super Giant side, he has the potential to deliver significant points.
