A deep understanding of the points system is what separates good fantasy players from great ones. Most platforms reward not just runs and wickets, but also extras like strike rate bonuses, economy rate bonuses, catches, stumpings, and run-outs. For batsmen, maintaining a high strike rate (above 150 in T20) can earn significant bonus points. For bowlers, taking wickets with a low economy rate is doubly rewarding. All-rounders offer the best value since they can contribute in both departments. Study the full points breakdown before building your team — a fielding-heavy team on a high-scoring day could leave massive points on the table. Smart team selection begins with knowing exactly how every action on the field translates to your score.
