Fantasy players get five free transfers ahead of the final, with a cap of eight players from a single team. If you’re wondering who to pick, we’ve got you covered with the best picks for the big game— players who could decide the outcome both on the pitch and in your fantasy league.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (Goalkeeper) – Bengaluru FC

There is little to choose between the two goalkeepers, but Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has been outstanding in the playoffs for the Blues. Sandhu has accumulated 17 points in three playoff games, while Vishal Kaith has eight points from two. Gurpreet could well be the busier of the two, having earned points for saves in both the knockout match and the second-leg semi-final.

Subhasish Bose (Defender) – Mohun Bagan Super Giant

The Mariners have kept seven consecutive clean sheets at home, and playing the final on familiar territory could give them the edge. Subhasish Bose, who is the highest-scoring fantasy player this season, is a must-have for your fantasy team and is also the most in-form player heading into the final.

Rahul Bheke (Defender) – Bengaluru FC

For Bengaluru FC, Rahul Bheke has been a rock at the heart of their defence and boasts a solid form rating. His added attacking threat from set-pieces gives him the edge among Blues defenders to consider for the final game.

Alberto Noguera (Midfielder) – Bengaluru FC

Noguera is an obvious choice for the midfield position from Bengaluru FC—not just because of his form, but due to his overall involvement in the game. The Spaniard has played a major role in attacking transitions and also contributes defensively, making him a valuable asset.

Liston Colaco (Midfielder) – Mohun Bagan Super Giant

The Indian international has had a quiet playoff run in fantasy terms but could play a crucial role down the wings in the final. Colaco scored the winning goal from the edge of the box the last time these two sides met in the league at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. He will be eager to repeat that feat on Saturday.

Jason Cummings (Forward) – Mohun Bagan Super Giant

Jason Cummings has hit form at the right time, scoring in both legs of the semi-finals. His involvement in set-pieces and consistent performances make him the top pick in his position. He has earned seven points in each of the two legs.

Edgar Mendez (Forward) – Bengaluru FC

Cummings’ counterpart, Edgar Mendez, has also stepped up during the playoffs. The Spanish forward has scored in two of their playoff matches so far. With Bengaluru FC known for their aggressive approach, Mendez could play a vital role at the No. 9 position once again in the final.
