The Rules
You have a budget of 100 and must select 11 players. You can pick a maximum of six players from any IPL franchise. Overseas players are denoted in the player list by the aeroplane icon and you may only select four overseas players in your team. Your IPL Fantasy team, at any given time, must be composed of:
- Between four and five batsmen
- One wicket-keeper
- Between one and four all-rounders
- Between two and five bowlers
When you select players into your team, it is possible to filter by country, category, value and by a name search. It is also possible to only show players you have space for in your team and are able to afford.
When you have found a player you would like to have in your team, please click on the green + button. The player will be added to your team. If you regret a player purchase (before saving), simply click on the red ‘x’ button next to the player and he will be removed again.
Once you have selected your team, you must select a Power Player, who will score double points.
When you have finalised your team and Power Player, you must select a team name and the team that you support. Press ‘Submit’ and congratulations – you have entered the game!
