Captain and vice-captain picks

Who to make captain and vice-captain, and why

CaptainDavid Warner KGExpected 33 points, so about 67 as captain (2×)Top scorer of this XI in 27% of 4,000 simulated matchesTop scorer of the match in 9 of 68 T20s
Vice-captainWill Bosisto KGExpected 25 points, so about 38 as vice-captain (1.5×)In the XI's top two in 31% of 4,000 simulated matchesSecond-top scorer of the match in 5 of 22 T20s (4 of 12 in the NPL)
  • 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.
