KBFC Vs ATMB Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: New look Kerala outfit strive to turnaround their dreary 2019-20 season.
Although Kerala Blasters managed to claw their way out of the bottom of the league in ISL 6, it did nothing to disguise an otherwise howler of a season from the club. The side was in abysmal touch last term, a club which was in dire need of overhauling ahead of the upcoming edition of the league.
Roping in Vicuna to take over the reigns at the club, the side also indulged in the services of a string of fresh names for the seventh edition of the Indian Super League. Whilst it’s still unknown of how all the new pieces will form into place and assemble for the side, things are looking upbeat for the side.
Partaking in the first contest of the new season today, the side will be looking to leave a solid impression and lay down a marker with a strong showing today. Despite this only being the season opener for them, a win today could end up being a catalyst for the side.
Probable Winner
While Kerala Blasters will impress today, we don’t see them having enough in the tank in only their first match.

KBFC Vs ATMB Fantasy Team Picks
Goal-Keeper
Kerala Blasters’ Albino Gomes will be inducted in our club as the goal-keeper. A worldclass name, he can truly transform the side’s backline and give it the look of a setup to be held in reverence.
Defenders
The club which let in a measly 16 goals last season will see a triad of defenders feature in our side. The likelihood of a cleansheet is extremely high for a side, a narrative which sees us opt for Tiri,
Sandesh and Pritam.
Kerala Blasters on the other hand see us opt for the lone pick of Nishu.
Midfielders
Kerala Blasters’ new signing, Vicente Gomez was reposed faith in by the club owing to his sprawling skill set. He is not only capable of squaring the ball to his counterparts but can come up with some peach of shots as well to make him an ever present threat for defences.
The opposition on the other hand will see us opt for Edu Garcia owing to the 5 goals and 3 assists he pulled off last term with the electric Francisco Javi-Hernandez giving him company for the encounter.
Strikers
The side’s top scorer in the foregone edition with a staggering 15 goals, Krishna will find company in David Williams who helped himself to five goals and four assists to complete the quartet of attacking selection from the club.
The Blasters will feature new entrant Gary Hooper, a player who will be eager to impress on his first start since making an arrival to the side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Krishna’s 15 goals see him captain our team for the day while Williams is the vice-captain.
