Always select your marquee players cautiously. At 11Wickets the players are highly valued based on their form. Always select the in-form players as part of your IPL fantasy league squads. Fortunately, they are likely to be your favourites for the captain & vice-captain selections.

Play clever. Always make an all-rounder your IPL fantasy captain or vice-captain. As for instance, the likes of Virat Kohli will yield you more points than a batsman who is able to score a quick 30.

Stay up-to-date with the changes the teams usually tend to make before every game. Selecting a player who wouldn’t feature in the eleven may cost you the game on 11Wickets.
