A Beginner’s Guide to Reverse Fantasy on Vision11

Fantasy sports have taken over our cricket-crazy country, and platforms like Vision11 have made it even more exciting by introducing fresh formats that go beyond the traditional play.

One such format that’s grabbing everyone’s attention is Reverse Fantasy.

Yes, you heard that right.

Instead of picking players who perform well… you actually pick players who may underperform. Sounds a bit strange? Maybe. But it’s also super fun, super smart—and yes, you can win real cash.

If you’re new to this, don’t worry. This blog is your simple, no-jargon beginner’s guide to Reverse Fantasy on Vision11, and how you can use it to your advantage.

???? What is Reverse Fantasy?

Let’s break it down.

In classic fantasy contests, you select players who you think will perform well in a match—score runs, take wickets, hold catches, etc. The better they do, the more points you earn.

But in Reverse Fantasy, it’s the exact opposite. You choose players who you think won’t perform well. And if they don’t—you score big.

It flips the script and gives a fresh twist to the game—perfect for people who know the game deeply and want to use that insight differently.

???? How Does It Work on Vision11?

Vision11 makes Reverse Fantasy very user-friendly.

Here’s how it typically works:

You create a team of real players from the upcoming match.
You aim to select those who:
- May not bat or bowl
- Are out of form
- Bat lower in the order
- Bowl fewer overs or are not frontline bowlers
Your selected team earns points for poor performance (like getting out early, conceding more runs, or not taking wickets).
The lower the actual match performance, the higher your Reverse Fantasy score.

Sounds fun, right?

???? Why Play Reverse Fantasy?

Here’s why it’s catching on with so many users on Vision11:

✅ It rewards deep game knowledge.
✅ It’s less predictable, so skilled users often have an edge.
✅ It offers new ways to win, even if your regular fantasy picks don’t go as expected.
✅ It helps you turn a bad match into a winning opportunity!

Plus, on Vision11, the entry fees start as low as ₹1, so there’s minimal risk—and loads of fun.

???? How to Build a Winning Reverse Fantasy Team

Here are some beginner-friendly tips to start off strong:

1. Target Lower-Order Batters

Pick players who:

Bat at No. 7 or lower
Might not get a chance to bat at all (especially in one-sided matches)
Have poor recent form

Example: A bowler who bats at No. 10 is perfect—chances are, they won’t face a ball!

2. Avoid Main Bowlers

In Reverse Fantasy, you don’t want wickets.

So choose players who:

Rarely bowl
Are part-time bowlers
Bowl in the middle overs without much impact

This reduces your risk of negative points from surprise wickets.

3. Form is Your Enemy

Look at the player’s last 5 matches:

If they’re scoring 50s consistently or taking wickets every game—avoid them
If they’re going through a poor patch, consider picking them

Yes, it sounds weird cheering for someone to fail—but that’s the fun of Reverse Fantasy!

4. Use Weather and Pitch Info

If the match is rain-affected or played on a bowler-friendly track:

Batters may fail more often, so avoid picking weak batters.
Instead, stack up your team with tailenders.

Likewise, if the pitch is flat and high-scoring, weak bowlers can leak runs—and help your team win points.

5. Don’t Overthink Captain & Vice-Captain Picks

In Vision11, captains and vice-captains score 2x and 1.5x respectively—even in Reverse Fantasy.

So pick:

Captain: A player likely to score 0–10 runs or not bat at all
Vice-Captain: A bowler likely to go wicketless or give away runs

This can give your team a major advantage.

???? Play Smart, Play Small First

Like any new format, start with low-entry contests (₹1–₹5) to get a feel for it.

Track your results. Experiment. Make 2–3 versions of your team with slight variations.

And once you get the hang of how players perform in this reverse logic—you’ll find it easier to build high-scoring teams.
