🕵️♂️ How to Spot Underrated Fantasy Players Before Everyone Else
Winning fantasy cricket contests isn’t just about picking popular stars—it’s about finding underrated gems before the crowd catches on. These low-selection players can score big, cost less, and give you the edge in both small and mega leagues.
In this blog, we’ll break down how to identify underrated fantasy players on RadhaExchange—using stats, match conditions, and a little game sense.
🎯 What Are Underrated Players?
These are players who:
- Have a low selection percentage
- Are priced lower than top picks
- May not be in the limelight but deliver solid points
They’re the ones who quietly win contests while everyone else is focused on big names.
🧠 Why Underrated Players Matter
- 🔄 Help balance your team’s credits
- 📊 Offer differentials that help you stand out in mega leagues
- 🧨 One good performance can skyrocket your ranking
On RadhaExchange, teams with smart underrated picks often beat those stacked with expensive, overused players.
🔍 5 Ways to Identify Underrated Players
1. Check the “Player Form” Tab on RadhaExchange
Players who’ve been consistent in domestic games or T20 leagues often fly under the radar. Use the form tab to see:
- Last 5-match scores
- Bowling economy
- Recent fantasy points
2. Look for Players Promoted Up the Batting Order
A No. 6 batter who suddenly starts batting at No. 3 = potential jackpot.
Pro tip: Monitor team news and toss-time surprises to catch batting order changes.
3. Track Venue-Specific Performance
Some players are specialists on certain grounds.
Example:
- A spinner who dominates at Chepauk
- A pacer with great economy at Eden Gardens
RadhaExchange shows ground-wise player stats—use this to your advantage.
4. Watch for Comeback Players
Players returning from injury or after a break often start cheap and with low selection. But if they have past records, they’re worth the risk.
Use them in:
- Small leagues for surprise wins
- Mega contests as X-factors
5. Monitor Weather & Pitch Conditions
A bowler who suits a slow pitch, or a batter who excels on bouncy tracks, may not be a crowd pick—but they’ll earn you serious points.
