ATK vs FCG Dream 11 Goalkeeper
Arindam Bhattacharya in his 12 appearances has managed 6 clean sheets which is the second best performance by any goalkeeper in the ISL 2019-20 season. Apart from the clean sheets the ATK goalkeeper has made 27 saves. Bhattacharya has mastered the art of guiding his side on the field, as he was selected as the first choice goalkeeper for ATK this season.
ATK vs FCG Dream11 Defenders
Prabir Das who came out of an injury this season has really turned it over for ATK, with excellent agility and reading dangerous moves, Das has held himself back to defend the opposition and when required also leads the attack from the left wing, in his 11 appearances this season Das has assisted 3 goals so far.
Pritam Kotal provides solidity in the defensive unit and has responded well to all types of attacks this season. His ability to read the moves helps him to stay out of oppositions traps. Kotal has a tremendous ability to clear aerial attacks from the opposition.
Carlos Pena brings solidity to the Gaurs defensive unit. The Spaniard along with Mourtada Fall has established a strong partnership for the visitors this season. The Gaurs duo has scored 4 goals and assisted 2 goals collectively this season.
ATK vs FCG Dream11 Midfielders
Armando Sosa Pena has only made 4 appearances this season, but is expected to start against the Gaurs on Saturday. The Spaniard provides stability to the midfield and also supports the defenders when needed, in just 4 games he has made 18 tackles and 5 interceptions. Mandi possess excellent command over the ball in the midfield area. Javier Hernandez creativity in the midfield has resulted into 2 assists and 7 goals so far this season for the home side. Hernandez is a key player in the ATK set up this season.
Jackichand Singh along with the French lad Hugo Boumous have been in tremendous form for the visiting side this season. COllectively they have scored 4 goals and assisted 7 goals this season. The FC Goa duo are a nightmare for the defenders, Jackichand Singh is expected to assist Boumous in spot kicks for this game as the visitors are missing their ace player Brandon Fernandes due to suspension.
ATK vs FCG Dream11 Forwards
Roy Krishna and Ferran Corominas are two stand out forwards in this tie. I have left out David Williams as I am not sure if he would start today’s game. The duo has scored a staggering 8 goals each and assisted with 2 goals for their respective sides. Both have a similar style of play with an ability to find space in the opposition box on a regular basis.
