ISL Fantasy: Best XI for Matchweek 19
We’ve highlighted some of the in-form players to consider for your Fantasy squad ahead of the deadline on Monday at 6:00 PM IST.

Matchweek 19 of the Indian Super League (ISL) is just around the corner, and fantasy managers are gearing up for what promises to be another thrilling round of matches.
With just five games in Matchweek 19 and four in Matchweek 20, it’s going to be tricky for managers to navigate through the reduced fixture list. FC Goa, Odisha FC, and Mohammedan SC won’t be in action, meaning fantasy stars like Brison Fernandes, Hugo Boumous, and others will be unavailable.

To help you make the most of the upcoming week, we’ve highlighted some of the in-form players to consider for your Fantasy squad.
Goalkeeper
Gurmeet Singh (NorthEast United FC) – 5.2 CR
The NorthEast United FC goalkeeper will host a Hyderabad FC side that has scored just once in their last four away matches. Singh has climbed to fifth among goalkeepers, thanks to his three clean sheets in the last five games.
Defenders
Alberto Rodriguez (Mohun Bagan SG) - 5.5 CR
Rodriguez earned five points just from completed passes, along with a clean sheet against Chennaiyin FC. He still holds the record for the highest average points per game this season and has been involved in all three clean sheets that the team has recorded in their last four matches.
Buanthanglun Samte (NorthEast United FC) – 4.0 CR
NorthEast United FC's left-back has contributed two assists and five clean sheets this season. His set-piece duties and crossing ability make him one of the most dependable defenders in the league.
Subhasish Bose (Mohun Bagan SG) - 5.0 CR
Even though Bengaluru FC is desperate for a win, it’s hard to overlook the highest point scorer of the fantasy league this season. His high ownership rate and potential for attacking returns make him a must-have.
Midfielders
Javi Hernandez (Jamshedpur FC) – 9.6 CR
Hernandez converted two penalties against Hyderabad FC last week, despite his team losing. With the potential for a return, he has become the most-bought player ahead of his trip to Punjab FC.
Noah Sadaoui (Kerala Blasters FC) – 11.4 CR - Vice Captain
Though Sadaoui suffered back-to-back blanks for the first time this season, he remains one of the best picks for the upcoming week. The Blasters take on a struggling Chennaiyin FC side, where Sadaoui scored and assisted in the first leg. He’ll be keen to repeat that performance in a must-win situation.
Greg Stewart (Mohun Bagan SG) – 9.8 CR
Stewart made his first start in the playing XI since October against Chennaiyin FC, but it was a quiet outing. Now, he will be desperate to work his magic and help his side secure three points against Bengaluru FC.
Ryan Williams (Bengaluru FC) – 7.5 CR
Bengaluru FC will aim to make Mohun Bagan SG's night difficult at Salt Lake Stadium. If you're considering a midfielder from the Blues, Williams is the standout option. With his speed and goal-scoring ability, he could prove to be a top pick for the week.
Forwards
Jesus Jimenez (Kerala Blasters FC) – 8.6 CR
Jimenez recorded only his fifth blank of the season in the match against East Bengal FC last week, but he’ll be eager to get back on the scoresheet and deliver big returns for his managers when they face Chennaiyin FC, a team he scored against in the first leg.
Alaaeddine Ajaraie (NorthEast United FC) – 8.4 CR - Captain
Ajaraie, with an ownership rate of 56%, is the most-owned player in the fantasy game. Having already scored 15 goals, the Moroccan will be hungry for more as the Highlanders look to end their four-match draw streak. He’s a strong candidate for the captaincy in their home game against Hyderabad FC.
Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC) – 7.5 CR
Chhetri will look to continue his goal-scoring form when he faces league leaders Mohun Bagan Super Giant in Matchweek 19. With 11 goals already this season, the former Indian captain is eager to help his side break their five-match winless streak.
Substitutes
Muheet Shabir (Punjab FC) – 4.0 CR
Priced at just 4.0 CR, Shabir is a great bench option. Having regained his starting spot, he’s been brave between the posts in recent games.
Nathan Rodrigues (Mumbai City FC) – 4.1 CR
Rodrigues is another affordable defender to consider for your bench. Facing an upbeat East Bengal FC side, the full-back will look to replicate his solid performance from the previous game against another Kolkata club, Mohammedan SC.
Leon Augustine (Punjab FC) – 4.5 CR
Augustine has been deployed in various positions this week and has delivered on his potential. At just 4.5 CR, he's a solid option for your bench.
Muhammed Rafi (Hyderabad FC) – 4.0 CR
Rafi has been reinstated to the starting lineup and has been a solid presence at the back for Hyderabad FC. He scored his first ISL goal in their thrilling victory over Jamshedpur FC last week and will be eager to build on that momentum.
