Ryan Williams (Bengaluru FC) - ₹7.5CR

Williams could be a hidden gem for your fantasy team. The winger scored a goal and provided an assist, earning an impressive 12 points in their dominant win over the Islanders. His involvement in the team's late surge is undeniable, and his ability to challenge defences will be a major concern for FC Goa, who might struggle to handle his threat.

Subhasish Bose (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) - ₹5.1CR

Subhasish Bose’s performance this season has made him one of the most valuable defenders in ISL Fantasy. With six goals and 13 clean sheets, he’s a constant threat from set pieces and an essential pick for anyone looking to strengthen their defense for the semi-finals.

Jamie Maclaren (Mohun Bagan Super Giant) - ₹11.6CR

Mohun Bagan Super Giant forward Jamie Maclaren is a must-have for your fantasy squad in the semi-finals. After a slow start to the campaign, the Aussie player has been in outstanding form, playing a key role in their League Shield success and providing strong fantasy returns. With 11 goals and two assists to his name this season, including five goals in his last four matches, he’s in excellent form.

Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC) - ₹7.5CR

Despite coming off the bench against Mumbai City FC, Chhetri had a stellar outing, netting his ninth goal in the ISL Playoffs. The 40-year-old remains a significant threat in the tournament, and his wealth of experience, current form, and set-piece responsibilities make him impossible to overlook as we head into the final stages of the season.

Stephen Eze (Jamshedpur FC) - ₹4.2CR

Jamshedpur FC adopted a defensive strategy in the Knockout round, and they will aim to maintain that solid backline when they face the Mariners in the two-legged semi-final. The Nigerian centre-back has been solid at the back and even scored the opening goal in their victory against the Highlanders. Eze, who scored a brilliant solo goal against Mohun Bagan Super Giant, will be looking to contribute in attack again while ensuring his defensive contributions stay strong.

Brison Fernandes (FC Goa) - ₹4.7CR

Brison Fernandes has been the standout performer of the season so far. The FC Goa winger has impressed with his attacking contributions. He has already scored seven goals and provided two assists, and despite a quiet end to the league campaign, Fernandes will be eager to make a significant impact for his team in the crucial fixture against Bengaluru FC.

Albino Gomes (Jamshedpur FC) - ₹4.5CR

For a reliable goalkeeper choice, Albino Gomes is the top pick. The Men of Steel's shot-stopper leads the saves chart with 93 saves and is expected to remain busy between the posts, especially in matches against the League Shield winners. This makes him an excellent candidate for your fantasy squad.
