Player selection framework
How to evaluate a player for your fantasy XI.
A simple four-step framework for evaluating any player before adding them to your fantasy XI.
Role clarity
Does the player have a clear role in the XI? Players with role clarity of 4 or 5 are reliable picks. Players with role clarity below 3 are higher variance.
Form
What is the player's recent form? A rolling average of fantasy points per match over the last 10 innings is a useful baseline. Weight the most recent 3 matches at 1.5x.
Venue record
How does the player perform at the upcoming venue? A player with strong venue-specific records is a better captain pick than one with strong overall records but weak venue records.
Match-up
What is the match-up against the opponent? Some players have strong historical records against specific teams. Cross-reference the opponent's likely XI before finalising your captain pick.

FAQ
Common questions about player profiles.
How is form measured?
Form is the rolling average fantasy-points-per-match over the last ten innings, weighted toward recent matches. We weight the most recent three matches at 1.5x.
How is venue record calculated?
Venue record is the player's career fantasy-points-per-match at that specific venue, minimum five innings to qualify. Used as a tiebreaker when projecting captain picks.
How often are profiles updated?
Within 24 hours of the player completing a match. Form, venue record, and role-clarity ratings all reset on each update.
What is role clarity?
Role clarity is a 1-5 rating of how predictable the player's role in the XI is. A role clarity of 5 means the player bats at the same position in every match. A role clarity of 2 means the position shifts based on conditions.
