As we approach Matchweek 8 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season, now is the perfect time to target some under-the-radar players who can deliver big points for your team in ISL Fantasy.

The top-scoring player in the previous Matchweek was Wilmar Jordan Gil, who is still owned by less than 10% managers and his standout performance helped many fantasy managers make significant gains.

As a result, he remains one of our differential picks for Matchweek 8, continuing to offer immense potential for those who select him. These players are flying under the radar, and picking them up before their ownership numbers rise could give you the edge over other peers in the game.

As a result, he remains one of our differential picks for Matchweek 8, continuing to offer immense potential for those who select him. These players are flying under the radar, and picking them up before their ownership numbers rise could give you the edge over other peers in the game.

Wilmar Jordan Gil (₹9.6 crore - Chennaiyin FC)

After a stellar double Matchweek 7 performance where he scored in both of Chennaiyin FC’s matches, Gil is in fantastic form. With six goals in his last four appearances, the Colombian forward is a serious attacking threat. He was the top-scoring player in Matchweek 7, accumulating a massive 16 points. Gil has proven to be one of the league's hottest properties, and with just 4% ownership, he's a must-have differential for Matchweek 8.

Aakash Sangwan (₹5 crore - FC Goa)

Sangwan is quietly having an excellent season and is currently in the top 10 scoring defenders in ISL Fantasy. Despite his strong performances, he remains under 10% ownership. After a clean sheet in FC Goa’s win over Bengaluru FC and with the defensive reinforcement of Sandesh Jhingan, Sangwan’s stock is rising. Not only does the full-back offer defensive solidity, but he's also contributed two assists this season, showcasing his attacking potential.

Dejan Drazic (₹8 crore - FC Goa)

Drazic is starting to show his true potential for FC Goa after scoring his first goal of the season against Bengaluru FC. With just 3% ownership, he’s still flying under the radar of many fantasy managers but has racked up 16 points in his last two Matchweeks. With Borja Herrera out for the game against Punjab FC, Drazic is likely to take up more attacking responsibilities, making him an excellent differential pick. If he continues his strong form, he could deliver big again.

Connor Shields (₹7.1 crore - Chennaiyin FC)

Shields has been a key player in Chennaiyin FC’s impressive start to the season, scoring his first goal of the campaign in the 5-1 win over Jamshedpur FC. The versatile midfielder has started every match this season, contributing three assists in addition to his goal. With an ownership of just 9%, Shields could be a secret weapon in your fantasy team, offering both playmaking and goalscoring potential. If he continues to build on his all-round contributions, he’s a solid differential pick for the upcoming Matchweek.

Dimitrios Diamantakos (₹11.9 crore - East Bengal FC)

Diamantakos is in sensational form, having scored his first goal of the season against Odisha FC and continuing his impressive performances in the AFC Challenge League with five goals in three matches. As East Bengal’s first-choice penalty taker, Diamantakos is also another attractive option among the forwards category.

With East Bengal facing a struggling Mohammedan Sporting Club in Matchweek 8, this could be the perfect opportunity for the Greek forward to add to his tally. Despite his higher price tag, Diamantakos remains a differential pick with only 7% ownership, making him a smart choice for fantasy managers looking to gain ground.
