ISL Fantasy: Top differential picks for Matchweek 20
Matchweek 20 offers an exciting opportunity for managers to win four signed mini footballs by submitting their fantasy teams before the deadline at 3:30 PM on February 1.

Matchweek 20 of the Indian Super League (ISL) presents a selection dilemma for fantasy managers, with only four fixtures and five teams missing from action.
With key players unavailable from Mumbai City FC, Kerala Blasters FC, Chennaiyin FC, East Bengal FC, and Hyderabad FC, this could be a decisive week in fantasy leagues.
With a reduced player pool, assembling a competitive XI could be tricky, making the Free Hit chip a tempting strategy this week.
Matchweek 20 also offers an exciting opportunity for managers to win four signed mini footballs by submitting their fantasy teams before the deadline at 3:30 PM on February 1. To create your ISL Fantasy Team, clickhere.
However, for those looking to gain an edge, differential picks—lesser-owned players who can deliver big returns—could be the key to success.
Here are the top five differential picks for Matchweek 20!
Iker Guarrotxena – FC Goa (1% ownership)
Another attacking option to watch is Guarrotxena, who ended his goal drought in Matchweek 19. Since returning from injury, he has been a vital part of FC Goa’s attacking setup. He will be determined to make an impact against the Men of Steel, aiming to avenge their defeat in the opening game of the season.
A HUGE OPPORTUNITY IS UP FOR GRABS! 🤩

Liston Colaco – Mohun Bagan Super Giant (10% ownership)
Colaco secured victory against Bengaluru FC with a precise volley and could be in contention for another attacking return when his side faces bottom-placed Mohammedan SC. The Black and White Brigade are coming off a heavy 3-0 defeat, and Colaco—owned by just 10% of fantasy managers—could take advantage of this opportunity to add to his goal tally.
Tom Aldred – Mohun Bagan Super Giant (10% ownership)
Owned by just over 10% of fantasy managers, Aldred remains a valuable differential pick among Mohun Bagan SG defenders, given the high ownership of other options. The Mariners will look to extend their dominance in the Kolkata Derby, having kept clean sheets in all three derbies so far this season. Aldred’s aerial presence also makes him a strong candidate for attacking returns from set pieces.
Guillermo Fernandez – Jamshedpur FC (1% ownership)
Spanish forward Fernandez finally broke his goal drought against Hyderabad FC and will be eager to build on that momentum when Odisha FC host his side. With five league goals to his name, he remains a key attacking threat in what promises to be an action-packed fixture between the league’s two highest-scoring teams. With an ownership of just 1%, Fernandez could prove to be the ultimate differential pick this week.
Pratik Chaudhari – Jamshedpur FC (1% ownership)
Chaudhari opened the scoring with a powerful header against Punjab FC last week, netting his second goal of the season. He will continue to be a key threat in set-piece situations when they host FC Goa on Sunday. The centre-back has been solid defensively while also accumulating points through passes and interceptions.
