Kerala Blasters FC and FC Goa kick-start Round 9 of ISL Fantasy at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Tuesday, and it’s time to welcome a few players who have stamped their class in the AFC Cup for Bengaluru FC and will now look to ignite Hero Indian Super League 2016. You wouldn’t want to miss out on these highly gifted players. Check them out here.Amrinder Singh (Mumbai City FC, Rs 5.0 crore)Amrinder Singh was rock solid between the sticks for Atlético de Kolkata in Hero ISL 2015. The 23-year-old custodian was difficult to beat last year as he notched up forty saves. He registered one clean sheet in his thirteen starts and finished second in the race for the Golden Glove award. Amrinder is in good form and will be coming in on the back of solid performances in the AFC Cup. Mumbai currently lie at the top of table and have some solid defenders like Lucian Goian and Aiborlang Khongjee in their ranks, automatically making Amrinder a smart pick for your team.Keegan Pereira (Atlético de Kolkata, Rs 4.5 crore)Keegan Pereira will be playing his second season in the ISL. In 2015, he made six appearances for Mumbai City FC, impressing one and all with his neat passing. The 29-year-old left-back has improved vastly since making his national debut in India’s 6-1 thumping of Laos earlier this year. Pereira will be playing for ATK this year and the team will surely be delighted to welcome back the in-form player in their squad for the remainder of the season. His experience and skills will make him a likely starter for ATK.Eugeneson Lyngdoh (FC Pune City, Rs 8.5 crore)Eugeneson Lyngdoh was bought for an impressive Rs 1.05 crore by Pune in the auction last year. He repaid that faith by having a great debut season and scored two goals besides providing two assists. The midfielder can surely be the spark that Pune need in their quest for a semis spot. The 29-year-old is highly adaptable and can strike up a deadly partnership with Mohamed Sissoko in the middle of the park. The exceptional Indian should be a first-choice pick in every ISL fantasy team.Sunil Chhetri (Mumbai City FC, Rs 10.5 crore)Sunil Chhetri is an undoubtable legend of Indian football. A household name, he is one of the few to have played professionally outside the country. India’s all-time leading goal-scorer was in sublime form last season. Finishing with seven goals in eleven starts including a hat-trick to become the leading Indian goalscorer, Chhetri joins the league with goals galore both for the national side as well as Bengaluru FC. With Diego Forlan and Sony Norde by his side, Chhetri is someone you would not want to leave out.
