Step-by-step instructions on how to create a team in My Basket Squad

Step 1: Download the app

Head over to the homepage of the My Basket Squad website. Once you’re there, look for the “Download App” button — you can’t miss it. Give it a click, and the APK file (our Android app) will start downloading straight to your device. Easy peasy!

Once the download is complete, open the APK file to install the app. After installing, launch the app — and you’ll see a registration form. Here’s where you can create your account:

You’ll need to provide a valid email address and a phone number, or you can simply log in using your social media account like Google or Facebook — whatever’s easiest for you.

After registering, check your email inbox (the one you used during sign-up). We’ll send you a confirmation email with a link — just click that link to verify your account. This step helps keep everything secure and makes sure it’s really you signing up.

Now you’re all set to log in! Just enter the email/phone and password you used during registration (or log in via your social media), and boom — you’re inside the world of fantasy basketball. Start building your dream team and get ready to play!

Step 2: Study the players and their current form

• Analyse the statistics:
• Study the current form of the players: their runs scored, wickets taken, average in matches.
• Look out for changes in the team line-up and injuries to players.
• Read the match news:
• Keep up-to-date with the latest news about the matches, weather conditions and player fitness. This will help you make informed decisions about player selection.
• Look out for team combinations:
• Some players may be more useful if they play in certain combinations (for example, some batsmen perform better when playing with certain players on the field).

Step 3: Form the team

• Pick 11 players:
• You need to pick 11 players, out of which usually 1-2 will be goalkeepers, 4-5 will be batsmen and 2-3 will be bowlers. Choose a balanced team.
• Allocate the budget:
• Each player has a value. You have a limited budget to assemble your team. Optimize your spending by choosing stars and mid-priced players.
• Appoint a captain and vice-captain:
• The captain and vice-captain will get extra points (usually 2x and 1.5x respectively). Pick players who have a high chance of winning the match.
• Pick players by match type:
• Consider the format of the match - T20, ODI or Test. Different formats require different strategies.

Step 4: Monitor changes and updates

• Check squad updates:
• It is important to monitor the latest news and updates to know if players have changed their form or are injured.
• Pre-match changes:
• Some platforms allow you to make changes to the squad just before the match starts. Use this opportunity to improve your team.

Step 5: Join a league and follow the matches

• Choose a league or tournament:
• You can join free or paid leagues. Join the league that interests you the most.
• Follow the matches:
• While playing, keep an eye on your players’ performance in real time. This allows you to quickly understand how you are doing and make changes in the future.

Step 6: Evaluate the results and improve the team

• Evaluate the team’s success:
• After the match or tournament is over, analyze your team and evaluate which players brought in the most points.
• Learn from the lessons:
• Learn what decisions worked well and what could have been better. This will help you improve your team in the future.
• Participate in other leagues and tournaments:
• Participate in new leagues and tournaments, applying your knowledge and strategic insights to build an even stronger team.

Step 7: Repeat the process

• Regularly update the roster:
• Continuously monitor the players’ condition and update the team’s roster depending on their current form.
• Use analytics:
• Study statistics, monitor new trends and apply them in the process of building a team.
