Step-by-step instructions on how to create a team in Fantasy Sports Oniken

Step 1:Download the app

  • To get started, go to the Fantasy Sports Oniken website and select the “Download” option to download the APK file to your device. Once the download is complete, the file will be saved in the “Downloads” folder. 
  • Open this folder, locate the downloaded file, and click on it to begin the installation. If your device asks for permission to install apps from untrusted sources, open “Settings” and enable the appropriate option. Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 2: Learn the fantasy cricket rules

  • Learn the fantasy cricket rules on the platform. Each platform may have its own specific rules for calculating points and selecting players.
  • Learn the format of the game: league or single tournament, player selection rules (e.g. how many players can be selected from different categories).
  • Understand the fantasy cricket points system (e.g. for each run, for each out, or for a hit that goes over the boundary).

Note: Platforms may differ in how they calculate points, so read the rules sections carefully.

Step 3: Create your team

  • Go to the “My Team” section.
  • Choose a team from the suggested players (there may be a limit on the number of players from each country or position).
  • There are several types of players in fantasy cricket: batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicket keepers. Each player will be awarded points based on their actions on the field.

Tip: It is important to choose players who are not only well-known but also in good shape, as their performance will directly impact your fantasy sports results.

Step 4: Setting a Budget

  • Every player in fantasy cricket has a price. You need to distribute your budget between the players.
  • Make sure that the balance between stars and lesser-known players is balanced, so that you do not overpay for one player and miss out on other important players.

Tip: Monitor the movement of player prices. Sometimes, player transfer trends can significantly affect their value in fantasy sports.

Step 5: Monitor the condition of the players

  • Before each match, check the team lineups and health news of the players.
  • Make adjustments to your team if any of the players are unable to take part in the match.

Tip: If you have injured players, be sure to replace them before the start of the game, otherwise you will lose points for inactive players.

Step 6: Join a League

  • Once you have created a team, you can join leagues (often both public and private leagues are available).
  • If you want to play against friends, create your own league and invite them.

Note: In private leagues, the rules may be different and there may be special conditions for scoring or creating teams.

Step 7: Game Strategy

  • Pay attention to the current form of the players. Popular players can bring a lot of points, but they can also be in the spotlight and receive more restrictions.
  • Try to choose players who may not be so well-known, but have a high potential for good results in the upcoming match.
  • Use your strategy depending on the conditions of the league or tournament. For example, in some tournaments it is important to have a balanced team, while in others it is the opposite, to bet on stars.

Note: Sometimes it is better to take a risk by choosing lesser-known players who can surprise you and bring you a lot of points.

Step 8: Track the results

  • After the matches, track the points awarded in the “My Team” section.
  • If successful, participate in rankings and competitions with other fantasy sports players.

Tip: Some platforms offer weekly or monthly prizes for the best teams, so always keep an eye on the results!

Step 9: Adjustments and improvements

  • During the tournament, you can make adjustments to your team (for example, replace players who do not bring points or do not play due to injury).
  • Use your resources wisely to improve your team and make it more competitive.

Tip: Be prepared for changes in the team roster in real matches. Sudden changes in the roster can affect the game strategy.

Step 10: Evaluation of results

  • At the end of the tournament or season, evaluate how successful your strategy was.
  • Learn from mistakes and successes to improve your game next season.
