Top Picks for Matchweek 10

Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC): Chhetri has been in fine form this season, having already scored three goals and provided two assists in the seven matches he has played. The Blues will be playing twice this week, and having Chhetri is a very safe and reliable bet.

Greg Stewart (Mumbai City FC): The lynchpin of Mumbai City FC's attack, Stewart, is another solid pick for Matchweek 10. The Scottish playmaker has one goal and two assists to his name, and he would like to increase this tally with two matches scheduled this week. However, Stewart has also accumulated three yellow cards, and if he picks up another one against FC Goa, it would mean he will miss their second fixture of the week against East Bengal FC

Jorge Pereyra Diaz (Mumbai City FC): The Islanders are eager to continue moving up the league table. Diaz, as always, will lead the charge for the attacking-minded Mumbai City FC side and could provide a valuable advantage for fantasy owners.

Top Differential Picks for Matchweek 10

Abdenasser El Khayati (Mumbai City FC): The Dutch playmaker was handed his first league start this season against Bengaluru FC, where he not only provided his spark but also scored the opening goal for the side. He has now scored in the last two games for the Islanders across all competitions, and a player of his calibre with only 2% ownership could be a real steal for managers looking for a differential pick this week

Curtis Main (Bengaluru FC): The English forward may not have had a great start to his career with Bengaluru FC, but he emerges as another potentially significant differential this week with just a 2% ownership. The Blues would be keen to bounce back, and them playing twice this week makes transferring in Main more tempting.

Kwame Peprah (Kerala Blasters FC): The Ghanaian forward netted his first goal against Chennaiyin FC and would be eager to help his side again with goals after missing out on the scoring chart against FC Goa. Peprah, with a 2% ownership, could be another top differential pick for Matchweek 10.

Captaincy Pick: Jorge Pereyra Diaz

The Argentine is in fine form and has netted a goal in their last two league matches. With Mumbai City FC playing twice this week, captaining Diaz becomes even more tempting, as he is not only a sure starter but could also be on penalties. He will be the prime focus for scoring goals for the attacking-minded Islanders’ side.
