1) Formats & Structures
- Classic draft vs. salary-cap: illustrative differences and constraints
- Squad size & composition: bat/bowl/all-rounder/wk balance
- Match phases: powerplay, middle, death overs—why they matter
Work through these step-by-step lessons. Each tutorial includes definitions, worked examples, and a short concept check. All exercises are illustrative and purely educational—no contests or financial features.
Start here. Understand fantasy formats, the idea of roles, and how scoring shapes decisions.
Compare a powerplay specialist vs. a death-overs specialist in a slow deck. Discuss how dot-ball pressure and yorker risk influence volatility. The goal is to learn thinking patterns, not to predict outcomes.
Roles describe how a player accrues points. Identify stability, volatility, and synergy.
| Role | Stability | Typical Risks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anchor | High | Slow SR penalties | Pairs well with aggressor |
| Aggressor | Medium | Early dismissal | Track matchup vs. PP swing |
| Finisher | Low–Medium | Few balls faced risk | High leverage when balls available |
| PP Bowler | Medium | Field restrictions | Wicket bursts vs. leaks |
| Death Bowler | Low–Medium | Yorker miss costs | High wicket chance with risk |
Check definitions in Glossary.
We use generic, illustrative point ideas to explain choices. Always read the actual rules of any platform you study elsewhere.
Why a middle-overs choke bowler can match a wicket-taker on slow decks despite fewer wickets.
Practical checklists that help you reason about balanced selections and avoid correlated risks.
Build a sample combination that covers PP wicket potential, middle-overs stability, and death-overs upside.
Practice adapting to uncertainty. These scenarios focus on reasoning, not prediction.
Use these prompts to practice reasoning. Keep a personal “mistakes log” to speed up learning.
