A Fantasy Cricket League is a skill-based game where one can create virtual teams based on live matches and earn handsome rewards based on how the teams perform in the real game.
One needs to be mindful of lots of things while making a team in the fantasy league. Let us discuss them one by one.
Do the research
One needs more than luck to win Fantasy Cricket Leagues. One can increase their chance to win by researching on the players before selecting them in the squad. Close look at in-depth statistics of each player and consideration of all possible match-ups before picking them are important.
Rely more on statistics than emotions
A common mistake is to pick one’s favourite player. It may work once or twice but not in the long run. During selection, statistics, past records and other tactical aspects should trump emotions. For instance, Rohit Sharma boasts a near-unparalleled fandom, but he should be avoided at any cost against a team with world-class leg-spinners in the arsenal.
Understanding Weather and Pitch Report
The pitch heavily influences the outcome of the game. If the match is played on a slow, stodgy surface, it is always safe to load the line-up with spinners, or pacers who rely on cutters and slower balls instead of pace for such surface. In contrast, on a pacey pitch, one should go for fast bowlers and flamboyant stroke-makers.
Picking Captain and Vice-Captain
The points earned by the captain gets doubled, while for vice-captain, it gets multiplied by 1.5. This often turns out to be the difference between winning and losing, which makes these selections extra important.
Creating Multiple Teams
There are gazillions of permutations and combinations that come into play. This means that multiple teams definitely increase one’s chance to win the contest. One can also pick different captains and vice-captains for each team.
