Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're new to fantasy cricket or looking to refine your strategy, we’ve got you covered. Below are answers to some of the most common questions to help you navigate Legends Arena with confidence.

What is Fantasy Cricket?

Fantasy cricket is an interactive, skill-based game that allows you to create a virtual team consisting of real-life cricket players who are participating in an actual match. Your selected players earn points based on their real-time performances, including runs, wickets, catches, and other statistical factors. The goal is to build a well-balanced team, make strategic choices, and compete against other users to achieve the highest possible score.

How do I build my team?

To create a fantasy cricket team, you must select 11 players from the pool of cricketers playing in a particular match. You need to balance your selection across different player roles, including batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicketkeepers. Every player comes with a designated credit value, so it's important to strategically allocate your budget to form the most competitive team. Making data-driven decisions by analyzing recent performances, pitch conditions, and head-to-head statistics can help maximize your chances of winning.

What is the role of the captain and vice-captain?

The captain and vice-captain play a crucial role in your fantasy team’s overall performance. The captain earns double (2x) points for every action they perform in the match, while the vice-captain earns 1.5x points. Choosing the right captain and vice-captain requires careful planning—it's best to select players who have a strong track record, are in excellent form, and are expected to perform well in the upcoming game. These multipliers can significantly impact your total score, so it's one of the most strategic decisions you’ll make when setting up your team.

How is the scoring system structured?

The scoring system in fantasy cricket is based on real-life match statistics. Players earn points for batting, bowling, and fielding performances. For example, runs scored, boundaries (fours and sixes), and strike rates contribute to a batsman’s score, while wickets taken, economy rate, and bowling figures determine a bowler’s points. Fielding contributions, such as catches, stumpings, and run-outs, also add to a player’s total. However, negative points may apply for poor performances, such as slow strike rates for batsmen or high economy rates for bowlers.

Can I modify my team after selection?

Yes, you can make adjustments to your fantasy cricket team before the match deadline. This includes changing players, selecting a new captain or vice-captain, and making last-minute decisions based on team lineups and match conditions. However, once the match starts, your team is locked, and no further modifications can be made. It’s important to stay updated on team news, injuries, and playing conditions before finalizing your lineup.

Is fantasy cricket purely based on luck?

No, fantasy cricket is not just a game of luck—it is primarily a skill-based competition that requires strategic thinking, research, and an understanding of cricket. Unlike games of chance, success in fantasy cricket depends on analyzing player statistics, match conditions, pitch reports, and historical data to make well-informed team selections. The most successful fantasy players are those who consistently study player form, understand game strategies, and adapt to dynamic match situations.
