???? Why Fantasy Points Matter So Much

Think of fantasy sports like a math puzzle with real-life action. The better your selected players perform in the actual game, the more points you get. But it’s not just about runs or goals—each small action counts, like catches, assists, or economy rate.

Knowing how players earn points on Vision11 helps you:

• Choose the best captain and vice-captain
   

• Select underrated players who offer high returns
   

• Avoid overvalued players with low impact
   

So, let’s dive in.

???? How Points Work on Vision11 (Cricket Example)

Vision11 has a simple and fair point system for each sport. Here’s how it typically works in cricket, the most popular fantasy sport in India.

???? Batting Points

• 1 point per run
   

• Bonus points for 30s, 50s, and 100s
   

• 2 points per six
   

• Negative points for a duck (except bowlers)
   

Pro Tip: Openers and top-order batsmen are more likely to score high. Choose them over middle-order batsmen in shorter formats.

 

---

???? Bowling Points

• 25 points per wicket
   

• Bonus for 3-wicket and 5-wicket hauls
   

• Economy rate points (bonus or penalty depending on runs conceded per over)
   

Pro Tip: Bowlers who bowl in the death overs or powerplay often take more wickets—look for them.

 

---

???? Fielding Points

• 8 points for each catch
   

• 12 points for a stumping or direct run-out
   

Pro Tip: Wicketkeepers and athletic fielders like Ravindra Jadeja can earn unexpected points through fielding.

 

---

???? Captain & Vice-Captain Multipliers

• Captain: 2x points
   

• Vice-Captain: 1.5x points
   

This makes captain/vice-captain selection the most important part of your team building strategy.

???? How to Use Fantasy Points to Your Advantage

✅ 1. Choose All-Rounders Whenever Possible

All-rounders score with both bat and ball. They have more ways to earn you points. Think Hardik Pandya, Ben Stokes, or Shakib Al Hasan.

 

---

✅ 2. Focus on In-Form Players

Form beats fame. A lesser-known player in hot form can outscore a popular star. Use stats, recent performance, and matchups to guide your picks.

 

---

✅ 3. Read the Match Conditions

Pitch reports, weather updates, and team news can affect how players perform.

• Flat pitch? Pick more batsmen.
   

• Green pitch? Go with fast bowlers.
   

• Rain forecast? Shorter match = all-rounders or aggressive openers.
   

 

---

✅ 4. Play in Smaller Contests First

Use what you learn about scoring in 2-player or 5-player leagues. You’ll build confidence and understand how certain players earn you points.

 

---

✅ 5. Keep an Eye on Toss Time

Vision11 allows you to edit your team until the toss. Use this time to:

• Check playing XI
   

• Make final swaps
   

• Ensure no non-playing player is in your team
   

This one step alone can save your team from disaster.

????️ Personal Insight: It’s About Smart Play, Not Just Big Names

When I first started playing on Vision11, I used to pick only big stars—Virat, Rohit, Bumrah—and hoped for the best. But I realized something important: smart picks score more than famous picks.

Now I look at each player's scoring potential based on Vision11's fantasy points system. Even a lesser-known player with all-round ability can win you contests if chosen smartly. That’s when my winnings really started growing.
