Fantasy Football Tips Captain Options

• Naorem Mahesh Singh scored India’s goal against Iraq, while the other goal was an own goal. He will once again lead India’s attack and is expected to score a goal or more for the Blue Tigers.
• Bassel Jradi will be the focal point of Lebanon’s attack and he will create problems for the Indian defenders. He is likely to play as the lone striker and will be the biggest goal threat from Lebanon’s side.

Differential Pick

• Nikhil Poojary has been a menace on the left-side. Despite being a defender, his pace has been creating problems for the opposition’s defence and he is very capable of creating goals for his team as well.
