Fantasy IPL 2018: 3 Top Tips

#2 Make your power player a bowler

Having your main power player as a death bowler is always a good option

In Fantasy IPL, you have a power player who scores double points. For this year, they have also introduced a second innings power player. You choose this player before the start of the match and he will score points in the second innings alone. Since you do not know who will be batting or bowling in the second innings (if the match is locked before the toss), it is a safe bet to make your second innings power player and all-rounder. For the opening match, someone like Shane Watson would make the ideal second innings power player.

However, your main power player should be a bowler if you are looking for long-term consistency. This is mainly because if a batsman fails on a given day then you have wasted a power player. With a bowler, there is always a chance that they can go on to pick up a wicket in the latter stages of the innings, especially if they are bowling at the death. Bowlers have a second chance while batsmen do not. Making your power player a death bowler is always a very good move and can help rack up some big points.
