Moneyball9 Fantasy Tips: 5 players you should not pick in the playoffs
The Indian Premier League 2016 saw an interesting finish to the league stage as Gujarat Lions, Royal challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders qualify for the playoffs. In a rather surprising turn of events, RCB won their last four matches to finish in the top 2, hence earning the chance to play in the Qualifier 1 along with Gujarat Lions.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, who looked certain to finish in the top 2, managed to slip up their hold at the top and will now face each other in the eliminator. Along with the tournament, the fantasy league is also heating up as all the top players will now step up their game to help their team through to the final of the IPL.
However, there are few players who might not be the best option for your fantasy teams, even though they are almost certain to start in the playing XI and cost considerably less than the top players. Here’s a list of those five players you should not pick in the playoffs.
Varun Aaron
The Royal Challengers Bangalore seamer has had a poor outing this time around in the tournament. The 26-year-old has played 8 matches and has picked up only 2 wickets and has gifted runs to the opposition with an economy of 9.59. Also, his only two wickets came in a single match against Mumbai Indians. The fact that the Qualifier 1 will be played at the Chinnaswamy in Bangalore, which is a batting paradise, makes him a strict no-no for the fantasy teams.
