Daily Fantasy Rankings are back with another bumper season of game-by-game previews, providing analysis of team changes, news, injuries and how each match will pan out.

Also available on DFR is their free use of their Data Tools. Deep dive into stats going back to BBL07 with team-by-team Draftstars scores + look who gives away the most fantasy points in their ‘Points Against’ and ‘Venue’ tables. Very handy to find out which ground scores more fantasy points than the other. You will be surprised to see which ground is a batsman paradise…
