Goalkeeper
Albino Gomes (Jamshedpur FC) – 91 points

The Jamshedpur FC custodian ranked highest among the remaining shot-stoppers, with 90 saves—22 more than second-placed Gurmeet Singh. Gomes also saved four penalties during the league campaign, continuing his mastery in stopping shots from the spot.
Defenders
Subhasish Bose (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) – 192 points
Bose outscored everyone during the league phase in terms of points. The Mariners’ captain accumulated a massive 192 points, largely due to his six goals and an assist, in addition to 13 clean sheets.
He managed seven double-digit hauls, including one 20+ pointer, which came in Matchweek 20 against rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club, when he struck a brace, kept a clean sheet, and also accumulated points for interceptions and passing.
Alberto Rodriguez (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) – 166 points
Mohun Bagan Super Giant snatched the League Shield for a record second consecutive season, and their Spanish defender Alberto Rodriguez was one of their biggest contributors.
The centre-back was involved in 13 clean sheets while also finding the back of the net four times and providing one assist—proving his mettle at both ends of the pitch. Rodriguez collected 166 points and, with an average of 8.73 points per game, he is the most in-form player heading into the playoffs.
Mehtab Singh (Mumbai City FC) – 163 points
Singh ranks fourth in the points-scoring chart with 163 points, leading the chart for most points earned through completed passes—78 points, 16 more than teammate Tiri.
His highlight performance came in Matchweek 10, when his goal decided the match against Hyderabad FC, earning him a total of 15 points for his owners.
Tom Aldred (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) – 158 points
Mohun Bagan Super Giant registered a record 15 clean sheets this season, and Aldred was involved in 14 of them—the most by an outfield player alongside goalkeeper Vishal Kaith.
The centre-back combined consistency with explosiveness, recording five double-digit hauls, with his biggest haul coming in a home win against Jamshedpur FC. Aldred scored two goals and provided an assist—highlighting his offensive contributions.
Tiri (Mumbai City FC) – 154 points
Completing the top five defenders list is Tiri. The Spaniard accumulated 154 points, which included ten clean sheets, one goal, and two assists—making his presence felt at both ends of the pitch.
The ever-reliable defender recorded seven double-digit hauls, with his biggest return coming in Matchweek 21, when he scored 12 points against NorthEast United FC, courtesy of his assist and clean sheet.
Midfielders
Alberto Noguera (Bengaluru FC) – 124 points
Alberto Noguera was a key player for the Blues, and his eight attacking returns, which included five goals and three assists, established him as a serious contender to be considered during the playoffs.
The Spaniard was the highest-scoring midfielder among the six qualified teams. His biggest return during the league campaign came against Jamshedpur FC in Matchweek 21 when he accumulated 15 points—thanks to his brace.
Javi Hernandez (Jamshedpur FC) – 122 points
Javi Hernandez finally lived up to his fantasy potential. The Jamshedpur FC midfielder amassed 122 points, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. His contributions were crucial both for the Men of Steel and fantasy managers who had placed their trust in the Spaniard.
His biggest run of form came during midseason when he produced an attacking return in five successive games, including a brace against Hyderabad FC.
Yoell van Nieff (Mumbai City FC) – 121 points
Van Nieff continued to be a reliable asset for both Mumbai City FC and fantasy managers. Despite his role as a box-to-box midfielder, his presence on the ball and role in set-pieces helped him garner valuable points in fantasy terms.
The Dutchman accumulated 121 points, which included two goals and three assists, and given his salary cap of 7.0Cr, he would remain a reliable asset for the upcoming playoffs.
Forwards
Alaaeddine Ajaraie (NorthEast United FC) – 176 points
Ajaraie emerged as the breakout star of the 2024-25 ISL Fantasy League phase. Initially priced at ₹8.0 Cr, the Moroccan forward's stellar performances have increased his value to ₹8.7 Cr, making him the second-highest scorer with an impressive 176 points.
The NorthEast United FC talisman delivered six double-digit hauls, netting 23 goals and providing seven assists. His tally includes seven braces, two of which came against Jamshedpur FC—their upcoming opponents in the Knockouts.
Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC) – 105 points
Bengaluru FC captain and veteran of the game Sunil Chhetri was excellent during the league campaign, and his early-season brilliance helped the Blues make a return to the playoffs.
Chhetri collected 105 points after managing 12 goals and two assists—appearing in all 24 matches. His biggest haul came against Kerala Blasters FC, when he bagged a hat-trick in Matchweek 11.
