We highlight five players who will be part of Matchweek 19 and could prove to be the ultimate differential, giving fantasy managers an edge over their competitors.
Jon Toral – Mumbai City FC (1% ownership)
Toral made his first appearance in the starting XI since November against Mohammedan SC, and he didn’t disappoint. The Spanish midfielder was a dynamic presence in the centre of the pitch, displaying his trickery and ability to thread defence-splitting passes. Although he didn’t record any attacking returns, he was named Player of the Match. With an ownership of just 1%, Toral could be a huge differential in Matchweek 19 against East Bengal FC.

Jamie Maclaren – Mohun Bagan Super Giant (8% ownership)
The Aussie forward has been quiet in the last two games, with his last attacking return coming in the Kolkata Derby win. However, he could return to the starting XI and is likely to be a focal point in attack as Mohun Bagan Super Giant seek redemption after their heavy loss to Bengaluru FC in the first leg. Maclaren will be keen to get back on the scoresheet.
Richard Celis – East Bengal FC (1% ownership)
East Bengal FC’s new signing, Richard Celis, has wasted no time making an impact on the squad, which has been battling injuries for months. The Venezuelan forward came close to scoring against both FC Goa and Kerala Blasters FC, but luck wasn’t on his side. Now, Celis will look to continue his solid form and finally provide some attacking returns for both his team and fantasy managers who have put their faith in him.
Milos Drincic – Kerala Blasters FC (5% ownership)
Drincic has been a solid performer for Kerala Blasters this season, ranking as their third-highest point scorer. The Montenegrin centre-back averages 4.73 points per match despite being involved in just three clean sheets. Kerala Blasters FC will be facing Chennaiyin FC, a team that hasn’t scored in their last two matches, making Drincic a solid differential option for those looking to strengthen their defence.
Andrei Alba – Hyderabad FC (7% ownership)
Andrei Alba sealed Hyderabad FC’s first home win of the season with a spectacular goal against Jamshedpur FC. This week, Hyderabad FC face a tougher challenge away at NorthEast United FC, but Alba will be key to their attacking play, hoping to add to his tally of three goals and one assist.
