Pick your starting XI

From your 15, choose the 11 who play. Only your XI scores points in a match; the other 4 sit on the bench, ready for the next one.

Good to know

There are no automatic substitutes. If one of your XI is not in his team's real playing XI, he scores 0 in that match, so check team news before the deadline.

Choose your captain & vice-captain

Pick a captain and a vice-captain from your XI. Every point they score is multiplied, so this is the biggest call you make each match.

Your captain and vice-captain stay set for every match until you change them, just like your XI.

You do not need to create a team for each match. At every match's deadline, your squad's current XI, captain and vice-captain are copied into that match automatically. Change them any time before then.

Make transfers

Injury, poor form or a player in red-hot touch? Swap players in and out of your squad with transfers. A round is the time until the next match locks.

  • Before the season’s first match locks: unlimited and free
  • The player you bring in takes the outgoing player’s place in your XI
  • Unused free transfers do not carry over to the next round
  • Your squad must still follow every squad rule after a transfer

8 · Pro tips

Play smarter

A few habits that separate the top of the leaderboard from the rest.

Back all-rounders

They can score with bat and ball in the same match, and every role earns from the same points table.

Captain consistency

Your captain earns 2×. A reliable top-order batter or strike bowler is usually a safer bet than a lottery pick.

Spread your picks

With at most 7 from one franchise, a squad that covers many teams has players in more matches.

Check team news

No automatic substitutes: make sure your XI are actually playing before the line-up locks.

Plan transfers

Use your 2 free transfers each round wisely and think twice before taking a −4 hit.

Read the fixtures

Teams that play twice in a short span can earn you points in back-to-back matches.
