Top Tips for Building a Winning Fantasy IPL Team

1. Consistent performance by players: Fantasy cricket lies somewhere between selecting the best players and selecting those who have performed well in recent matches.



2. Incorporate all the best players: We all want our favourite player to perform well, but that's not always the case. Therefore, it is advisable not to think emotionally but practically while selecting players.



3. Leading your team (Captain and Vice-Captain): Choosing the right captain and vice-captain is crucial as the captain will get 2X points for the same performances as other players, while the vice-captain will get 1.5X points.



4. Give way to talented players: There are some players who, even after having potential, remain underrated and go unnoticed. Make sure to give them a chance and make your team stand out from the rest.



5. Give bowlers a chance: Along with picking the best batters, it is equally important to choose your bowlers wisely. Bowlers could help you gain points even if your selected batters did not perform well.



6. A team of 11 players: To win big, one must choose the right combination of players. You can pick a maximum of 7 players from one team. Remember that you only have 100 credits to make a fantasy team, so pick wisely.



7. Uncapped players: An uncapped player is like an ace of spades; Every player must include one in their playing 11. If this player gives an awe-inspiring performance, your team will score a lot of points.



8. Environmental factors: When creating a team, the weather, pitch, and play timings are strongly taken into consideration as they can impact the performance of the team as well as the match result.



9. Some of the famous fantasy apps are: Dream11, My11Circle, Howzatt, MPL Fantasy Cricket, MyTeam11, etc.
