Captain and vice-captain picks
Who to make captain and vice-captain, and why
Close call: Ravi Bopara and Sikandar Raza are only 0.1 expected points apart, so either is a sound captain. Ravi Bopara tops this XI more often in our simulations (17% against 15%). Captaining Sikandar Raza is a differential pick that fewer teams are likely to make.
- The captain earns double and the vice-captain one and a half times their points, so these two picks swing a fantasy team more than any other. Put your two highest expected scorers there.
- When expected points are close, prefer the player who tops the scoring more often (the simulated share and the record below), or pick the other one as a differential that fewer teams will have.
- All-rounders and top-order batters are steadier picks: they can score with the bat, the ball and in the field.
