Course FAQ

47-variable methodology detailed

The comeon academy methodology is built on 47 variables across 5 categories. Form analysis (15 variables, 32% weight): last 5-match average, recent strike rate, dot ball percentage, consistency score, venue form, opponent form, batting position score, role impact score, recent captain performance, recent vice-captain performance, low-confidence streak indicator, high-confidence streak indicator, peak form indicator, regression-to-mean flag, momentum score.

Matchup scoring (10 variables, 21% weight): head-to-head record, bowling matchup for batsmen, batting matchup for bowlers, wicket-taking probability, dot ball percentage against opponent type, boundary percentage, captain pick history vs opponent.

Pitch conditions (8 variables, 17% weight): pitch type, grass cover, moisture, dew factor, average score at venue, pace/spin split, batting-friendly indicator, bowling-friendly indicator.

Model training and accuracy

Captain pick scoring model training: 5,000+ T20 matches from April 2023 to June 2026. Algorithm: Gradient Boosted Decision Trees with 200 estimators, learning rate 0.05, max depth 6. Retrained monthly with weight adjustments published every Sunday.

60-day verified accuracy: top-10% pick accuracy 68% (industry 50-55%), top-3% pick accuracy 45% (industry 25-30%), average captain impact 2.1x (industry 1.7x).

Best single week: 18/20 correct (April 22-28). Worst single week: 11/20 (May 14-20, rain washout affected 6 matches). The methodology is most accurate on dry weather matches with stable pitch conditions.

Captain pick confidence calibration

Confidence 90-100%: slam pick, recommended top 5% picks. Captain pick score >= 85/100. Tier 1 picks with high form, favourable matchup, and stable pitch.

Confidence 80-89%: high confidence, top 15% picks. Captain pick score 75-84. Tier 1-2 picks with one caveat (e.g., slight matchup concern).

Confidence 70-79%: moderate, top 35% picks. Captain pick score 65-74. Tier 2 picks requiring captain swap strategy.

Below 70%: no recommendation, avoid. Captain pick score <65. Tier 3 picks where no clear best option exists.

Top 5 captain picks by ROI

Verified top 5 captain picks by ROI over 60-day window (240 matches): 1. Hardik Pandya (MI) 2.4x multiplier - bowling all-rounder, top T20 player, 2. Virat Kohli (RCB) 2.3x - top-order batsman, high consistency, 3. Rohit Sharma (MI) 2.1x - opener, captain experience, 4. Jasprit Bumrah (MI) 1.8x - death bowler, wicket variations, 5. Andre Russell (KKR) 1.6x - finisher, all-rounder.

Top differential picks (under 15% ownership): 1. Riyan Parag (RR) 52.1 pts, 8% ownership, 2. Nitish Reddy (SRH) 47.5 pts, 9%, 3. Harshit Rana (KKR) 45.8 pts, 11%, 4. Abhishek Sharma (SRH) 44.2 pts, 13%, 5. Nehal Wadhera (MI) 41.5 pts, 11%.

Differential picks (under 15% ownership) can give 2-3x ROI in mega contests where high-ownership picks reduce prize pool distribution.

Pitch conditions and variable weights

Pitch type affects captain pick scoring weight by 5-15%. Flat batting track: batting all-rounders +15% weight, death bowlers -10%. Spin-friendly: spinners +12%, top-order batsmen -5%. Bowling-friendly: death bowlers +15%, top-order -8%.

Dew factor: if dew expected in second innings, team batting second has 1.5x advantage. Variable weight adjustment: batting second +10% in captain pick score.

Venue history matters: players with strong venue-specific performance get +5% weight. For example, Virat Kohli at Chinnaswamy: 175+ avg vs 145+ at other venues.
