Build Winning Fantasy Teams with 11Wizards’ Player Research & Player Spotlight Tools

Fantasy cricket is as much about strategy as it is about passion, and crafting a winning team requires more than just intuition. It demands insight into player form, past performance, and predictive analytics. This is where 11Wizards revolutionises the game with its Player Spotlight and Player Research Tool. These features provide in-depth, data-driven analyses to help you select players who can maximise your fantasy cricket points. From detailed historical records to upcoming match predictions, 11Wizards arms you with the stats that truly matter. Let’s explore how these tools can make your Dream11 team unstoppable.

Why Are Fantasy-Specific Stats Important?

Fantasy-specific stats are critical because they focus on metrics that directly translate into fantasy points, unlike general cricket statistics that provide a broader view of player performance. For instance, in traditional cricket analysis, a batter’s strike rate or a bowler’s economy might be less significant in Test and ODI matches, where the focus is on resilience and long spells. However, in fantasy cricket, these metrics can be crucial, especially in the T20 format where rapid scoring and economical bowling are highly rewarded. Stats like average fantasy points, Best XI%, and top score% offer insights tailored to fantasy cricket, helping you identify consistent point-scorers and high-impact players.

This distinction becomes even more vital in a competitive environment where small margins determine success. General cricket stats provide valuable context, but they lack the precision needed for informed fantasy decisions. A player with an illustrious career might be a poor fantasy pick if they’re out of form or less suited to the current pitch conditions. Fantasy-specific stats bridge this gap by offering real-time insights as well as long term records, such as fantasy performance averages from the last two years and the past five matches, enabling players to optimise their teams. These specialised metrics allow fantasy enthusiasts to fine-tune their strategies, ensuring selections are driven by actionable insights rather than fame or reputation.

Player Research Tool

The Player Research Tool provides a quick and comprehensive overview of essential fantasy cricket metrics for every player in a particular match, all on a single dashboard. To access it, simply go to the Lineup Wizard and tap on the “Explore Player Research” tab.

Player Spotlight

When you tap on a player in your fantasy team, the “Player Spotlight” section opens. Here, you’ll find detailed fantasy information tailored to the specific app you’re using—be it Dream11, My11Circle, MyTeam11, or Vision11. The insights are organised into four key categories and may vary slightly depending on the scoring rules of each app:

• 11Wizards Predictions: Key predictions and stats from 11Wizards to help you gauge potential performance.
• Historical Data: A summary of the player’s performance over the past two years.
• Upcoming Match Data: Current match stats, including player selection percentages and frequency of captaincy picks.
• Recent Fantasy Performances: A breakdown of the player’s most recent five fantasy games, with detailed point analysis and easy to understand graphs.

Let’s explore the details available in each category:

11Wizards Predictions

Your go-to for data-backed forecasts about a player’s potential match performance.

• Expected Points: The total points 11Wizards predicts the player will score in the upcoming match based on the algorithm and match conditions. The higher this number is, the better the player is predicted to perform.
• Expected Best XI %: The probability that this player will be in the best fantasy XI for the upcoming match. A higher percentage suggests more reliability.
• Expected Top Fantasy Scorer %: The likelihood that this player will score the highest fantasy points in the upcoming match according to 11Wizards’ predictions. This can help you identify game changers and potential captain/vice-captain picks.

Historical Data

Track the player’s long-term fantasy performance across past matches.

• Matches Played: The total number of matches the player has played in the specific format over the last two years.
• Average Points Scored: The player’s average fantasy points across these matches, calculated based on the scoring rules of the platform you’ve selected.
• Best XI %: The percentage of matches where the player was part of the best possible fantasy XI (dream team) over the past two years on the selected platform. On an average, players have a 50% chance of making it into the Best XI. A higher percentage indicates consistent top-level performance.
• Top Fantasy Scorer %: The percentage of past matches where this player scored the most fantasy points. On an average, players have a roughly 5% chance of being the top scorer. Higher percentages suggest repeated ability to showcase standout performances.

Upcoming Match Data

Insight into how players are valued and selected for the upcoming match.

Recent Fantasy Performances

A snapshot of the player’s form based on their last five fantasy games. This section provides both a summary with an easy to understand graph and in-depth analysis of the player’s last five fantasy performances. The chart displays total fantasy points on the Y-axis and the last five matches on the X-axis. It highlights how often the player was included in the top XI and their corresponding fantasy score for each match. You’ll get a breakdown of fantasy points earned, including stats like:

• Rank: The player’s position among all players in the match, based on total fantasy points earned.
• Fantasy Points: Total points accumulated by the player during the match across batting, bowling, and fielding actions.
• Best XI: The player’s inclusion in the best fantasy XI for those matches.
• Selection %: How frequently the player was selected in teams for those matches.

Additionally, you’ll find detailed performance stats in categories like batting, bowling, and fielding, offering a complete picture of the player’s recent form.

With this information, the Player Spotlight helps you make informed decisions, ensuring you select the best players for your fantasy team based on both data and predictions.
