Pick a team, set your captain, enter the contest
How fantasy cricket and fantasy football contests work on COMEsportsdaily - selecting a squad, picking your captain, and reading the rules before kick-off.
How to play, in three steps
Pick a contest
Open the contests tab on the live board and pick from free contests, practice contests, paid head-to-heads, and large-field leagues.
Build your team
Stay inside the salary cap. Pick eleven (cricket), five (football) or whatever the contest format asks. Set your captain and vice-captain.
Enter and watch
Submit the team before kick-off. The live board tracks your points in real time. Settled contests pay within 24 hours of the match closing.
The rules you should know first
Each contest format has its own ruleset. The general rules are below; each contest card has the specific ruleset.
Roster rules
Standard cricket contests ask for eleven players from a 22-player match list, with a salary cap. Standard football contests ask for five players from a 15-player list with a salary cap. Multi-entry contests allow multiple lineups in the same contest; single-entry contests allow only one.
Captain and vice-captain
The captain's points are doubled for the match. The vice-captain's points get a 1.5x treatment, used only if the captain is later ruled out of the contest.
Settlement
Contests settle within fifteen minutes of the official match closing. Prizes are paid as cash or site credit, depending on the platform's policy. Withdrawal requests are usually processed within twenty-four hours.
