Dream11 Trips & Guide
Even the best team can fall short without the right mindset. Below are some evergreen Dream11 strategies that top players use every day:
Finalise After Toss
Build your base team early, but lock it only after the toss. Lineups can change, especially in leagues where rotation is common.
Balance Your Credits
Avoid loading your team with all the top players. Mix high-value stars with budget picks who offer good fantasy potential—like bowlers who bowl in the death or lower-order batters who bowl a few overs.
Don’t Ignore the All-Rounders
All-rounders give you double the scoring potential – they contribute with both bat and ball. Pick at least two quality all-rounders in every team.
Pick Differentials Smartly
In Small Leagues, it’s okay to follow the crowd for safe picks. But add 1–2 differential players with low selection % who could flip the game if they perform.
Captain/Vice-Captain = Match Winners
- Captain = consistent & in-form (ex, top-order bat, ace all-rounder)
- Vice-Captain = potential X-factor (ex, death bowler or explosive opener)
Never risk both roles on wild picks unless you’re playing for Grand Leagues.
Practice With Multiple Teams
If you’re entering multiple contests, tweak the captain, vice-captain, and a couple of players to test variations. This increases your chance of ranking higher.
