Captain and vice-captain picks
Who to make captain and vice-captain, and why
- 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.
