The Basics of Fantasy Sports: How It Works

Whether you're playing cricket, football, basketball, or baseball, the core rules of fantasy sports remain the same. Here’s what you need to know:

Team Creation:

Team Creation
  • 1. Select your squad from a pool of available players within the specified budget or draft system.
  • 2. You can choose players based on their real-world performances and stats.
  • 3. Players are assigned positions (e.g., batsman, goalkeeper, etc.) and can only play in those positions in your fantasy lineup.

Player Scoring:

  • 1. Each player earns points based on their real-world performance in matches.
  • 2. Points are awarded for actions like scoring goals, runs, wickets, assists, and defensive stats.
  • 3. Negative points may be deducted for poor performances like missed shots or fouls.
  • Player Scoring
Team Management

Team Management:

Regularly update your lineup based on player form, injuries, or match conditions.

Some sports have a captain and vice-captain system, where these players earn double or 1.5x points, respectively.

Manage your budget and keep an eye on upcoming fixtures to make the best decisions.

Competitions:

Participate in public leagues or create private leagues to compete with friends and family.

Points accumulate over a set period (matchday, tournament, season), and the highest scorer wins.
