Top picks:

Jorge Pereyra Diaz: Jorge played a crucial role in building up Mumbai City’s game this season and will be one of the best hopes in this match. He is equally good with both feet and creates good chances. His confidence must be high as he netted six goals and assisted once in his last nine matches. He could be a decent pick for captaincy.

Bipin Singh: Bipin has played all nine league matches for Mumbai City this season and scored four goals along with two assists. Recently, he scored a beautiful goal against Northeast United. He will look to carry his excellent form this season to help his team.

Cleiton Silva: Cleiton is known for off-the-ball movement, technical skills, pace, and his ability to score from tight angles. He has recently joined his new club and has scored five goals in nine league matches so far. He is one of the focal points of their attack and could muster some valuable points for your fantasy team.

Captain and vice-captain options:
