And your captaincy choices can make all the difference in climbing the ranks and securing that coveted Matchball. To help you make the most of these two Matchweeks, we’ve rounded up the top captaincy picks based on player form, upcoming fixtures and their potential to deliver massive Fantasy points.

Remember, you can only use one Power Chip across both Matchweeks, so selecting the right captain is critical to maximising your points.

Here are five in-form players to look at who could help you double your points tally.

Alaaeddine Ajaraie (NorthEast United FC)

Matches: Punjab FC (Away), East Bengal FC (Away)

The top-scoring player in ISL Fantasy this season, Ajaraie is an absolute must-have for your team and potentially a perfect choice for captain. He’s already delivered goals in every game so far, and with upcoming matches against Punjab FC and East Bengal FC, two teams that have been struggling lately, Ajaraie could continue his fantastic run. As NorthEast United FC's top threat, he's well-positioned to make an impact and once again could be the difference-maker in your Fantasy team.

Hugo Boumous (Odisha FC)

Matches: Hyderabad FC (Away), Bengaluru FC (Home)

Boumous has been an instrumental part of Odisha FC's attacking force, and with two favorable fixtures in Matchweeks 9 and 10, he’s a strong candidate for your captaincy. He’ll face Hyderabad FC away and Bengaluru FC at home, two teams who have struggled defensively lately, making this a perfect opportunity for Boumous to rack up Fantasy points.

With two goals and five assists to his name already, his creativity and knack for finding the back of the net make him a top option to lead your team.

Nikolaos Karelis (Mumbai City FC)

Matches: Punjab FC (Home), Hyderabad FC (Home)

At just 7.0 CR, Karelis has been a bargain and has quickly become one of Mumbai City FC's key players. With two home fixtures in Matchweeks 9 and 10, the Greek forward has a great opportunity to deliver big returns. He has already scored five goals this season and is also a penalty taker for the Islanders, adding to his appeal as a captaincy choice. Punjab FC and Hyderabad FC have both been vulnerable defensively, making Karelis a prime candidate to rack up points. With Mumbai's attack in good form, he's one to keep an eye on.

Jesus Jimenez (Kerala Blasters FC)

Matches: Chennaiyin FC (Home), FC Goa (Home)

On an impressive goal-scoring streak, Jesus Jimenez has found the back of the net in his last five games and is Kerala Blasters FC's top scorer this season. He’s also the first-choice penalty taker for the Blasters, which makes him even more appealing as a captaincy option. With two home fixtures in Matchweeks 9 and 10 against Chennaiyin FC and FC Goa, Jimenez will be looking to extend his scoring run. His form, along with Kerala's strong attacking display, makes him a valuable asset and a viable captaincy choice.

Jamie Maclaren (Mohun Bagan Super Giant)

Matches: Jamshedpur FC (Home), Chennaiyin FC (Home)

Maclaren is a key player for Mohun Bagan SG, especially after starting the last two matches ahead of Jason Cummings. With two home fixtures in Matchweeks 9 and 10, Maclaren could be involved in the goals as Mohun Bagan SG look to continue their unbeaten run.

The Mariners have won three of their last four matches, and Maclaren has scored two goals. Although he has blanked in the previous two matches, he has shown he is a clinical finisher who doesn't need many chances. If you’re looking for a captaincy pick from a team in strong form, Maclaren fits the bill.
