What “Fantasy Cricket” Means Here

Same sport you love, but simplified into decisions: which players, in which roles, under which conditions.

You’re drafting a cricket model, not a dream team

You don’t “buy” players with money. You work with a fixed budget of points. Every player has a cost, and you decide which roles matter most for the fixture you’re targeting—early-order batting, death bowling, all-rounder volume, or fielding upside.

Outputs come from real match events

Runs, wickets, boundaries, catches—everything is mapped to points through a published scoring matrix. There’s no hidden multiplier, no mystery formula, and no “spin the wheel” gimmick behind the scenes.

Your rank is your scorecard

EdgeLineup doesn’t hand out cash payouts. Your reward is where you finish on the leaderboard: consistently high finishes signal that your reading of the game is ahead of the curve.

How scoring works

The exact numbers can change as we refine balance, but the structure stays stable: every core action has a clear, published value.

Batting events

  • Runs: base points per run.
  • Boundaries: bonus for fours and sixes.
  • Milestones: thresholds like 30+, 50+, 75+, 100+ can unlock step bonuses.
  • Strike-rate bands: efficient scoring can add points, extremely slow innings can lose some.
  • Dismissal penalties: ducks or ultra-low scores can carry a light negative.

Bowling events

  • Wickets: core wicket points, with additional weight for key dismissals.
  • Maidens: reward control in limited-overs formats.
  • Economy bands: tight spells are rewarded; extremely expensive overs lose points.
  • Milestones: 3-for or 4-for type hauls can add a clean bonus.

Fielding & keeping

  • Catches: steady value for each catch.
  • Run-outs: shared credit where appropriate.
  • Stumpings: wicketkeeper-specific impact.

Why this model favours skill

Because all of this is transparent, the edge isn’t “being lucky on the day”. It’s understanding who is likely to deliver those events given the match context.

You’re rewarded for context, not celebrity picks

Sometimes the right call is a high-usage star. Sometimes it’s a specific role player—powerplay seamer, middle-over anchor, finisher, or specialist fielder. The scoring system is built so role understanding matters at least as much as raw popularity.

Good process shows up over multiple fixtures

Across a set of matches, random spikes even out. Users who consistently understand tempo, roles, and conditions tend to stabilize near the top of leaderboards—even without perfect scores every game.

No “hidden” edge from payment behaviour

There’s no deposit pattern, no bonus structure, no “VIP” tiers. Everyone plays on the same free grid, with the same rules and the same scoring model. Your advantage is how you read cricket, not how much you’re willing to spend.

Building better lineups

Same rules, different fixtures. The gap is how you use context.

01 Start with the venue

Before you pick names, think about the surface and ground dimensions. Is it historically high scoring? Does it assist swing up top, or slow down for spinners later? Your batting/bowling split should match what the ground usually offers.

02 Then map roles

Openers see more balls. Death bowlers see more high-impact moments. Middle-order anchors can stabilize tricky chases. All-rounders touch both disciplines. Treat your XI as a portfolio of roles, not just a list of “big names”.

03 Use budget to express conviction

Player pricing inside EdgeLineup is built to force trade-offs. Spending more on a key role means you accept “thinner” picks elsewhere. That’s the entire point: your budget tells us where your actual conviction lies.

What EdgeLineup does not do

Clarity matters. Here’s what you can stop worrying about immediately:

No deposits or payments

You don’t fund an account, you don’t add cards, and you don’t handle any payout flow—because there is none. EdgeLineup is not built as a money-moving product.

No cash prizes

Leaderboards are about standing, not winnings. You get recognition, data, and a record of how your calls perform over time—not cash.

No betting language, no “odds” layer

You’re not placing bets, you’re not backing outcomes at odds. You’re assembling a cricket lineup under a scoring model and watching how it performs. That’s it.

Responsible, by default

Even without payments, we treat this as something adults should use thoughtfully.

Age and geography limits

EdgeLineup is intended for users aged 18+ and based in parts of India where fantasy sports is permitted. We do not offer participation in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, Telangana, or Tamil Nadu.

No pressure loops

There’s no “chase losses” narrative here because there’s nothing to chase. Play when you feel like testing your read of the game, not because you feel pulled back by money.

Clear privacy stance

We don’t need tracking cookies or ad tech to make this product work. Review our Privacy Policy and Responsible Gaming pages for a deeper view of how we handle data and behaviour.
