Competitions 2023 IPL RDT Fantasy- RD6: Monday 17th April- 11:30pm AEST
- Thread starter Connoisseur
- Start date
Just a quick reminder of all the changes between this format and BBL:
BATTING: basic scoring is identical, including the 20 run threshold, unfortunately. No 50/100 run bonuses.
BOWLING:
* 25 points per wicket (up from 20). No bonus for 3 or 5 wickets in a match.
* 20 points for a maiden over (up from 15)
* No points for dot balls (or penalties for extras)
* Economy bonuses remain but are slightly more valuable. They kick in at 8 RPO, but start at 10 points, up to 5 RPO being the maximum of 25.
FIELDING:
* Catches are 12 points (up from 10)
* Every player involved in a run out scores 20 points - including the keeper if they break the stumps
TEAMS/SQUADS:
Teams named at the toss, 30 minutes before game start (11:30pm AEST most nights, 7:30pm if an early game). This year this will include an Impact Player - like the X Factor, but much more versatile - so teams are effectively 12 players instead of 11.
Squads have up to 25 players, up to 8 of which are OS. Teams have a maximum of four OS slots, including the new Impact Player.
PRICE CHANGES:
Prices don't move until three games have been played. This is distinct from three rounds - it doesn't apply this year but if a team had a double in the first two rounds, their prices would move before everyone else's.
Have I missed anything?

I haven't replied to any of these because it's just too subjective. As long as you're on top of team drops and all your guys front up round 1 you're likely to be okay.
I'm probably not the best person to give team advice because I like to play this game different to most of the others - I use more intentional donuts and effectively use a squad of 13, which lets me use loops to grab strong scores (and from better players on average) but gives me less DGRs all else being equal.

Excellent summary, thank you.
For me the key thing for a new coach to remember is that there are some world class players that will not get a game because only four of them can be selected - so don’t just fall for the “brand”. Sometimes the Indian alternative player is close enough in a particular position (eg their spin depth is good) that a very high quality international doesn’t get selected.
If you’re going to pick an international, I think you want to be pretty confident that they are clear best XI, as well as having a good role. It’s a fairly high threshold. A lot of international players also aren’t as good on Indian pitches.

Gee that is very similar to my side! I just reviewed who was getting games for India a short time ago, and made the following changes.
Samson, Hosein, A Patel
=>
Kohli, Sundar, A Singh
That takes my team a fraction away from yours, but those tweaks might be worth considering if you’re unsure on any names. I wouldn’t profess to have thoroughly researched roles or even each viable player, but I did check basically all the recent Indian international players who had a decent role. Most look good for the IPL, except a few who are a bit dear for their usual output, or maybe sub-elite.
