How SPCC Fantasy Cricket works

Squad Build

Pick a legal squad

• You must select exactly 14 players.
• Your lineup must include exactly 11 starters and 3 bench players.
• Your full squad cannot cost more than £100.0m.
• Your captain and vice-captain must be different players.
• Your captain and vice-captain must both be in the Starting XI.

Starting XI Balance

Meet the team and position minimums

All-rounders stay flexible, so they help you satisfy the XI while the minimums above stay locked in.

Transfers and Deadlines

Manage changes each week

• You can make up to 3 transfers per week.
• Your bank is the cash left over after buying your squad, and it updates when you sell and buy players.
• Transfers made after a round starts apply to the next editable week.
• The deadline shown on My Squad and Transfers is the lock time for the round you are editing.
• Your squad still has to be legal after every transfer.
• Wildcard removes the normal transfer cap for one round and can be used once per season.
• Triple Captain boosts your captain to 3x for one round and can be used once per season.
• Bench Boost counts your three bench players as scorers for one round and can be used once per season.
• You can only have one chip active in a round.

Bank and Prices

How squad value changes over time

• Every manager starts with £100.0m to build their first squad.
• Bank is your unspent cash and squad value is the current market value of the players you own.
• Total team value is your bank plus your squad value.
• When you sell a player, your bank increases by that player's current price, not the price you originally paid.
• The top 10 point scorers in a finalized week rise in price, while the bottom 10 players who appeared fall.
• The top two scorers rise by £0.2m, the next eight rise by £0.1m, and the same steps apply in reverse for fallers.
• Player prices cannot go below £4.0m or above £15.0m, even after weekly rises or falls.
• If no eligible players appear in a week, no prices change.

Captaincy and Auto-Subs

How multipliers and bench replacements work

• Captain scores 2x points.
• Triple Captain boosts the captain slot to 3x.
• Vice-captain scores 1.5x points when both captain and vice-captain are active in the XI.
• If your captain does not appear and your vice-captain does, the vice-captain takes the full captain multiplier, including Triple Captain when active.
• Bench order matters for auto-subs.
• Bench Boost counts bench points directly, so auto-subs are not needed in that round.
• Auto-subs only apply once every included fixture in the round is confirmed or locked.
• A bench player only comes in if the resulting XI still respects the required balance rules.

Price Hints

What the squad screen shows you

• Player prices on My Squad and Transfers always show the live market price.
• A small marker beside the price shows the latest weekly rise or fall.
• Hovering or tapping the price area reveals extra context such as bought price, current price, and sale value.
• Transfer summaries show sale proceeds, purchase cost, and what your bank will look like after saving.
