NPL on Team 11: How to Play, How to Join & Build Your Fantasy Team

The excitement of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) is about to get even more interesting.

Watching your favorite players score runs, take wickets, and make match-winning performances is already exciting. But what if you could create your own fantasy team using those real NPL players and follow their performance throughout the match?

With Team11, you can create your own virtual cricket team, select real NPL players, and earn Fantasy Points based on their actual performance on the field.

Whether you are completely new to Fantasy Cricket or already familiar with it, this guide will help you understand what NPL Fantasy Cricket is, why you should play, how to join, how to create your team, and what strategies you can use while selecting players.

What is Fantasy?

Fantasy is a skill-based game where you create your own virtual team using real players participating in the Nepal Premier League.

Before the match begins, you select players from the teams playing that match. Once the match starts, your selected players earn Fantasy Points based on their real performance.

For example:

• A batsman scores runs → Fantasy Points
• A bowler takes wickets → Fantasy Points
• A player takes a catch → Fantasy Points
• An all-rounder contributes with both bat and ball → Fantasy Points

This means your Fantasy Team's performance is directly connected to what your selected players do in the real match.

The better you understand the game and the players, the better you can plan your Fantasy Team.

Here’s the complete NPL Season 3 match schedule, featuring all league-stage fixtures along with the playoffs and grand final, including dates and match timings.

Why Play NPL on Team11?

1. Make Every NPL Match More Exciting

When you create your own Fantasy Team, every run, wicket, and catch becomes more interesting.

You are not just watching the match—you are also following the performance of the players you selected.

2. Put Your Cricket Knowledge to the Test

Fantasy Cricket gives you the opportunity to use your knowledge of:

• Player form
• Batting performance
• Bowling performance
• Player roles
• Team combinations
• Playing XI
• Match conditions

Instead of selecting players randomly, you can research the match and make your own decisions.

3. Build Your Own Fantasy Strategy

Every NPL match can be different.

One match may favor batsmen, while another could give bowlers more opportunities. Some players may be in excellent form, while others may have a different role in their team.

Your job is to analyze the available information and create a balanced Fantasy Team.

4. Follow Real Player Performance

Team11 Fantasy Points are based on the real performance of the players you select.

That means your Fantasy Team score changes according to what happens on the actual cricket field.

This makes player selection and match analysis an important part of the Fantasy Cricket experience.

How to Create Your NPL Fantasy Team?

Now comes the most important part—building your Fantasy Team.

You need to select your players from the teams playing that particular NPL match.

Your team generally consists of:

• Wicketkeepers
• Batsmen
• All-rounders
• Bowlers

Team11's NPL fantasy format uses a credit-based player selection system, so you need to build your team within the available credit limit.

The key is not simply to select the biggest names.

Instead, try to create a balanced team based on player roles, recent form, and match conditions.

Captain and Vice-Captain: Why Are They Important?

Captain and Vice-Captain selections are an important part of Fantasy Cricket.

Captain – 2X Fantasy Points

The Fantasy Points earned by your Captain are multiplied by 2X.

Vice-Captain – 1.5X Fantasy Points

The Fantasy Points earned by your Vice-Captain are multiplied by 1.5X.

Because of these multipliers, Captain and Vice-Captain selection can have a significant impact on your overall Fantasy score.

When choosing them, consider factors such as:

• Recent form
• Batting position
• Bowling role
• Consistency
• All-round contribution
• Expected involvement in the match

How Are Fantasy Points Earned?

Your Fantasy Team earns points according to the real performance of your selected players.

Depending on the applicable Team11 Fantasy Point system, points can be associated with actions such as:

Batting

• Runs
• Boundaries
• Strike-rate related performance

Bowling

• Wickets
• Economy-related performance

Fielding

• Catches
• Run-outs
• Stumpings

Other Match Contributions

Players can also earn points through other qualifying performances according to the applicable Team11 points system.

How to Build a Strong NPL Fantasy Team?

Creating a Fantasy Team is not about simply selecting your favorite players.

Here are some useful factors to consider.

1. Check Recent Form

Look at how players have performed in their recent matches.

Consider:

• Runs scored
• Wickets taken
• Consistency
• Strike rate
• Economy rate
• Overall contribution

A player's current form can be useful information when making your selection.

2. Look at Player Roles

Understand what role each player has in their team.

For example:

A top-order batsman may get more opportunities with the bat.

A death bowler may have more opportunities to take wickets.

An all-rounder can contribute in both batting and bowling.

Understanding player roles can help you build a more balanced team.

3. Consider All-Rounders

All-rounders can contribute in multiple areas of the game.

For example, if an all-rounder scores runs and takes wickets in the same match, both performances can contribute to their Fantasy Points.

This is why all-rounders can be an important consideration when creating your Fantasy Team.

4. Check the Playing XI

This is one of the most important things to check before the match begins.

Always check the confirmed Playing XI before finalizing your Fantasy Team.

A player who is not included in the Playing XI may not get the fantasy points you expected.

So, before the deadline:

Check Playing XI → Review Players → Review Captain/VC → Finalize Team

5. Consider Pitch and Match Conditions

Different cricket grounds and conditions can influence how a match develops.

Consider whether the conditions could favour:

• Batting
• Fast bowling
• Spin bowling
• All-rounders

You can use available match information to make a more informed selection.

6. Check the Toss and Final Updates

The toss can provide useful information about the match.

Before the Fantasy deadline, check:

• Toss result
• Playing XI
• Batting order
• Bowling combination
• Any last-minute team updates

Then review your Fantasy Team before confirming it.

A Simple NPL Fantasy Strategy for Beginners

If you are playing Fantasy Cricket for the first time, you don't need a complicated strategy.

Start with these simple steps:

Research

Check the player form and recent performances.

Balance

Don't focus only on batsmen or only on bowlers. Build a balanced combination.

Check Playing XI.

Make sure your selected players are actually playing.

Choose Captain & Vice-Captain Carefully

Look at players who are likely to have a strong involvement in the match.

Stay Updated.

Check the latest team news and toss and match conditions before the deadline.

Imagine an NPL match between Team A and Team B.

Before creating your team:

Step 1: Check the confirmed Playing XI.

Step 2: Identify players who have been performing consistently.

Step 3: Look for top-order batsmen who are likely to get enough batting opportunity.

Step 4: Consider all-rounders who can contribute with both bat and ball.

Step 5: Select bowlers based on their role and recent performances.

Step 6: Complete your team while staying within the credit limit.

Step 7: Select your Captain and Vice-Captain.

Step 8: Review your team after the toss.

Step 9: Confirm your Fantasy Team before the deadline.

Once the match begins, follow how your selected players perform and watch your Fantasy Points update according to the applicable scoring system.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't Select Players Only Because They Are Famous

A famous player may not always be the best selection for a particular match.

Look at their current form, role and expected involvement.

Don't Ignore the Playing XI

Always check whether your selected players are actually playing.

Don't Forget Captain and Vice-Captain

These selections have point multipliers, so give them proper consideration.

Don't Build a Team Based Only on Personal Preference

Supporting a particular NPL team is different from building a Fantasy Team.

Fantasy selection should be based on player performance, roles and match analysis.

Turn Every NPL Match Into Your Fantasy Match

NPL becomes even more engaging when you start looking at the game from a Fantasy perspective.

While watching the match, you may find yourself asking:

Who will score the most runs?

Which bowler could take the most wickets?

Which all-rounder could contribute in both departments?

Who should be my Captain?

Who should be my Vice-Captain?

That's where the real Fantasy Cricket experience begins.
