BBL Fantasy Planner: Fixture Grid, Player List and Transfer Helper

How to use the free BBL Fantasy Planner: see every club's fixtures on one grid, compare players and get transfer suggestions that update as matches finish.

A BBL Season Fantasy team lasts for all 44 matches, so the question is rarely "who is good?" It is "who plays next, and is a transfer worth it?" The BBL Fantasy Planner answers that on one page, for free.

Open the planner and see your next move.

1. The Fixture Grid

Every club sits on one row and every match day on one column. Green is a home game, amber is away, blue is a neutral venue, and each cell names the opponent. Tap a game for its IST start time and venue.

  • Clubs with the most games in your chosen period sit at the top.
  • Pick the next 7 days, the next 14 days or the rest of the season.
  • If you have a team, a chip shows how many of your players each club holds.

Use it to spot a club with a run of games coming up, and one with a long gap. That is usually where your next transfer should go.

2. The Player List

Search or filter all BBL players by role and club, then sort by games, record, season points or price. Each player shows the next three fixtures, games in your period, season average, career BBL numbers and ownership once enough managers have joined.

Warnings appear on players who are not playing or are missing from a confirmed XI, so you can see a problem before you lock.

3. The Transfer Helper

Log in and the helper reads your own team. It suggests up to three swaps, and every suggestion is checked against your budget, role and the 8-player club limit.

  • Players who are out, or missing from the next confirmed XI, come first.
  • After that it looks for players with fewer games coming up than a same-role option you can afford.
  • Once the season has started, season averages are shown so you can weigh form as well as fixtures.
💡

The helper only suggests. Nothing changes until you make the swap in My Team, and transfers are counted net, so a change you reverse before the lock does not cost you.

It Updates by Itself

The planner moves with the tournament. Live and finished games drop out of the grid, season averages update as scorecards are finalised, and confirmed XIs are picked up as they are announced. Suggestions follow that data, so check it again before every lock.

Extra for BBL

The BBL player list also shows average batting position from BBL|15, which helps you see who faces the most balls. Some players have changed clubs, so use it as a guide. Players with a known availability question, such as a Test call or a missed run of games, carry a warning and are left out of suggestions.

A Simple Weekly Routine

  • Open the grid for the next 7 days and find the busiest clubs.
  • Check the helper for anyone out or short of games.
  • Compare options in the player list before you spend a transfer.
  • Make your swaps in My Team, then set your captain and vice-captain, which is free.
