How to Build Your Fantasy Team
- Pick the top-order batters from both sides — they face the most deliveries and carry the highest, most consistent points.
- Include at least one or two genuine all-rounders; they earn from both bat and ball and are the best value per slot.
- Choose bowlers who are guaranteed a full quota / long spell over part-timers.
- Balance Nottinghamshire vs Somerset: aim for a 6-5 or 7-4 split rather than loading up on a single team.
Captain & Vice-Captain Strategy
A top-three batter or a genuine all-rounder is the safest captain in a 50-over game. For vice-captain, look at a bowler who takes the new ball or bowls at the death.
In grand leagues, take one differential captain that most of the field will avoid; in small leagues, stick to the safest top-order or all-round option to protect your rank.
Winning Tips
- Wait for the confirmed XIs before locking your team — late changes can decide contests.
- Note the toss: the side setting a target vs chasing changes which players to load up on.
- Use our generator to create 5-20 variations so you cover multiple captain combinations in grand leagues.
