Start with the roles
How roles decide a Hero11 fantasy side before you pay
Start from involvement: who bats high, who bowls the hard overs, who keeps, then look at form, pitch, toss, and the room.
If the final XI is not on the screen yet, keep the fee in your pocket. Guessing a late name is an expensive habit to repeat.
Role steps
- Pick a match whose roles you understand.
- Shortlist players who touch the ball in more than one phase.
- After the XI, remove anyone without a job.
- Captain the role that should last longest.
- Pay a fee that matches how sure those roles are.
Role risk in the roomA steady role can sit in a smaller field. A fragile role needs a room you can afford to miss.
Captain from a role
Two scoring paths beat one famous shot.
When a role vanishes
If the XI takes the role away, take the name out.
Fee versus role certainty
A thin role read belongs only in a cheap room.
