IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Gujarat Lions vs Mumbai Indians

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Steve Smith, Rahul Tripathi, Manish Pandey

Transfer in: Jos Buttler, Nitish Rana, Jasprit Bumrah

Now, I already have Suresh Raina in my side for this game.

The first player that I get in is Jos Buttler. With Mumbai playing two games in 3 days, it would be criminal if you don’t get in the in form Buttler. The only bowler that could probably trouble Buttler is Tye. But he mostly operates in the death overs, so Buttler should be off his radar.

I would bring in Rohit Sharma only if he opens the batting for Mumbai, because if he does, he could tear apart Gujarat today, but if he doesn’t, he is bound to get a little bogged down during the middle phase. If Parthiv is dropped, you can expect him to open the batting, but if Parthiv is playing, don’t get in Rohit.

The second transfer that I’ll be making for this game is getting in Bumrah, but I’ll do that only if Mumbai bowl first. Bumrah’s death bowling skills always helps him to get 2 wickets, which at this point is a good enough transfer. With Mumbai playing twice in 3 days, he should be able to give me at least 120 points before I transfer him out.

Brendon McCullum and Aaron Finch don’t find a place in my side, as all my overseas players are featuring either today or tomorrow, and Buttler seems a better choice, because GLs bowling line up isn’t as threatening as MIs

For the uncapped player, I would get in one from Basil Tampi and Nitish Rana. My team combination does not allow me to get in Thampi, hence I’ll opt for Rana.

Captain: Jos Buttler
