How to use the fantasy cricket team generator

1) Select Home and Away team

Add the home and away team name before you start adding players. You could also import, export your existing progress, or clear the game from this section.

2) Add players to the teams

Add player name, type, which team the player belongs to, and comma-separated past scores with the most recent score at the beginning.

You can edit the players from the players pool when the teams section is expanded. When collapsed, the teams section will show comma separated player names.

3) Generate teams

Once you have added the player pool you are satiafied with, the tool is ready to generate teams for you. Use the Generate Teams button to generate teams.

4) Understand what “weighted randomness” means

Batttle uses weighted selection so players with stronger recent scores appear more often, while randomness keeps outputs from selecting the same XI repeatedly. Higher randomness increases variation; lower randomness makes the generator more deterministic.

Use high randomness when you want more differentiation across multiple teams. Use moderate randomness when you want variation but still want the best signals to dominate.

5) Captain and vice-captain picks: treat them as candidates

Captain/VC selection is also weighted, which helps surface obvious picks. But fantasy outcomes are sensitive to last-minute lineup confirmations and role usage (death overs, powerplay usage, batting order, etc.). Use the suggestions to generate players, then apply your own match context.

• Confirm playing XI and batting order (when available).
• Prefer players with stable roles over volatile part-timers.

6) Use “min different players” to avoid clones

When generating multiple teams, it’s easy to end up with near-duplicates. The “min different players” setting forces diversity by limiting overlap. This is especially useful when you want multiple distinct strategies instead of a single strategy repeated with cosmetic changes.
