Step-by-step instructions on how to create a team in Fantasy Sports Dain

Step 1: Download the app

  • To get started, visit the Fantasy Sports Dain website and select the “Download” option to download the APK file to your device. Once the download is complete, the file will be saved in the “Downloads” folder of your device.
  • Next, open the “Downloads” section, locate the file, and tap on it to start the installation process. If your device asks for permission to install apps from unknown sources, go to the settings and enable this feature. Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 2: Understanding the Fantasy Cricket Rules

  • Before you start selecting players, it is important to understand how the fantasy sports system works. The main points are:
  • Budget: You have a limited budget to spend on players. Each player is worth a certain amount depending on their real form and status.
  • Player Categories: Players are divided into several categories such as strikers, bowlers, all-rounders and wicketkeepers. Each player has a value and it is important to balance the team.
  • Positions: Each team must have a certain number of each type of player. Typically, this is 7 fielders and 4 bowlers.
  • Points: Players earn points depending on their real performance (scores, wickets, runs scored, etc.).

Step 3: Building the Team

  • Selecting Players: This is the step where you must select the players for your team. Remember that you need to balance the team and keep an eye on the budget.
  • Pick players who are in good form, but don’t forget about the team as a whole. Sometimes it’s better to pick a few stable players than to take risks with top stars.
  • Consider the current matches, the field conditions and even the last week’s stats.
  • Team Squad: Usually, you will be given the option to pick:
  • 1 keeper
  • 3-5 bowlers
  • 3-5 batsmen
  • 1-2 all-rounders
  • Also, remember to stick to the budget.
  • Transfers: You will have the opportunity to change players throughout the tournament or season. Fantasy cricket platforms allow you to make transfers depending on the players’ form, health and other factors.

Step 4: Team Management

  • Substitutions and Tactics: Throughout the tournament, it is important to regularly check the condition of your players. If any of them are out due to injury or are not playing well, don’t hesitate to make transfers.
  • Including a Captain and Vice-Captain: Each fantasy sports platform allows you to choose a captain and vice-captain for the team. The captain gives extra points for his productivity (usually 2x), and the vice-captain gives 1.5 points. This decision significantly affects the final result.
  • Follow the matches: To get the maximum number of points, it is important to follow the matches in real time. The platform will update the players’ stats, and you will be able to track the progress of your team.

Step 5: Earn points

  • Your players will earn points for the following actions:
  • Batsmen: Runs scored, full runs, high bats.
  • Bowlers: Wickets taken, runs restricted, economical shots.
  • All-rounders: For versatility – both wickets taken and runs scored.
  • Goalkeepers: For successful catches, participation in partnership rounds and wicket-keeping.

Step 6: Monitor the results

  • Every match is a chance to win. Keep track of your team’s stats and adjust your lineup based on the current situation:
  • Player Ratings: The platform will provide detailed statistics about each player.
  • Rating: The platform also has a rating that will show how your team stacks up against other players
