Champions Trophy 2017 Fantasy Guide: Do’s and Don’ts for the Champions Trophy Fantasy League
5) Make death bowlers your best friends
Remember, every wicket that a bowler takes has the same number of points. The Fantasy World does not discriminate between batsmen, and thus if you take Kohli’s wicket or Umesh Yadav’s, you’ll end up getting the same number of points. So, it is only logical that you opt for bowlers who get to bowl at least four overs in the death, so that they can chip away with a few cheap wickets.
6) Use the wicketkeeper card wisely
A wicketkeeper who bats in the top 4 is gold dust, use all your money and just jump on that beautiful creature, because he is the one who will help you soar high. Keepers generally end up scoring 30 points for their wicketkeeping skills, being involved in caught behinds, stumpings and run outs. So, if you have to chose between a Hashim Amla and a Quinton De Kock, always go for Quinton De Kock, as he’ll always give you more fielding points than Amla, and Amla would have to score that extra 20 runs to fetch you the same amount of points.
7) Invest in big players, do not fall too much into the ‘differentiator’ trap
You often see people stacking their teams up with players that not many would have picked, just to form a ‘different’ team. And that is where they start digging their own grave. You need to have the obvious match winners in your side, or else you’ll fall too far behind. The differentiator theory has to be used miserly and has to be used on a maximum of one player in 3-4 matches.
8) Follow The SportsRush for the best fantasy tips
This probably goes without saying, but we thought we should just leave it here, as even the obvious sometimes needs to be stated 🙂
