The Rs 1 volume strategy
The Rs 1 volume strategy is the single highest-leverage approach for casual players. A Rs 500 weekly budget buys 500 Rs 1 contests.
The volume strategy is not just about quantity. It’s about selecting 3-5 captain picks for the week and sticking to them.
The right volume for a Rs 1 player is 100-200 contests per week.
The 30-minute pre-toss routine
The 30-minute window between pitch report and toss is the most valuable 30 minutes in any fantasy tournament.
The routine is: (1) check the pitch report, (2) check the weather, (3) check the confirmed XI, (4) check the AI suggestion, (5) make your final picks.
The most common mistake in the 30-minute window is to over-adjust based on the latest information.
