Start with evidence
Three questions before any pick
Good fantasy decisions begin before the player-selection screen opens.
01
Is the information current?
Confirm the fixture, squad and publication time.
02
Is the role secure?
Map batting position, expected overs and fielding involvement.
03
Does the risk fit?
Match uncertainty to contest size and a fixed budget.
The method
Opportunity before reputation
Fantasy cricket decisions taught through real match roles, conditions and responsible play.
- Separate confirmed facts from projections
- Use the current role as the base rate
- Challenge every selection with a failure mode
- Update only when new evidence changes opportunity
Match-day workflow
Move in a stable order
Repeating the same sequence reduces recency bias and last-minute panic.
01
Conditions
Read pitch, weather and boundaries before player names.
02
Confirmed XI
Remove non-starters and reassess role changes.
03
Multipliers
Choose captaincy after opportunity is mapped.
Use context
Numbers need a comparable role
Recent points can mislead when format, batting position or bowling allocation has changed. Compare like with like and keep small samples in proportion.
A forecast is a dated snapshot. The toss, final XI or weather can invalidate it.
Audit table

| Projected | Editorial judgement based on assumptions | Show uncertainty and update time |
| Unknown | No reliable current evidence | Do not invent a convenient answer |
Control the downside
Responsible play is part of the method
Set money, time and stop limits while calm. Never borrow, chase losses or treat fantasy play as income.
