How to Play Dynasty Fantasy Cricket
Dynasty is the deepest fantasy cricket format — draft a squad once and compete with friends across an entire series of matches. One draft, sustained competition, cumulative points.
How Dynasty Works
- Create a Dynasty game and select 2–14 matches from any series
- Invite 2–8 friends — they join via your share link or room code
- Draft your squad in snake-draft format (same as single-match Draft)
- Your squad plays automatically across all selected matches
- Points accumulate match by match — highest total at the end wins
The key difference: you're not drafting for one game. You're building a squad to perform consistently over a full series. Fitness, workload, and fixture difficulty all become part of your planning.
Dynasty Strategy
- Prioritise consistency over peak performance — a player who scores 35–45 every match beats one who scores 90 once and 5 twice
- Check workload and availability — elite bowlers are sometimes rested mid-series; all-rounders who play every match are safer bets
- Pick genuine all-rounders — over 5+ matches, a squad with 2–3 genuine all-rounders accumulates more points than pure batsmen or bowlers
- Captain choice is amplified — your captain earns 2× points in every match, so over 5 matches a consistent captain can be worth 200–400 extra points
- Save substitutions for injuries — don't waste substitutions on form dips; reserve them for confirmed injuries or unavailability
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Dynasty different from regular Draft?
In regular Draft, you pick players for a single match and it resets. In Dynasty, you draft a squad once and that same squad competes across 2 to 14 matches — points accumulate match by match across the whole series.
Can I change my squad during a Dynasty game?
You get a limited number of substitutions. If a player gets injured or rested mid-series, you can use a substitution to swap them before the next match. Use substitutions strategically — they don't refresh.
How is the Dynasty winner decided?
The player with the highest total points across all selected matches wins. Consistent scorers who play every match accumulate more than boom-or-bust players who miss games or perform inconsistently.
How many matches can a Dynasty game cover?
The game creator selects 2 to 14 matches. You can run a Dynasty covering an entire T20I series (5 matches) or a portion of the IPL season.
Start a Dynasty league and compete across the full IPL series.
