The ‘Fantasy Cricket Stock Exchange (FCSE)‘, in place since the MPL 2013 season, has served a two pronged role – primarily a fantasy cricket platform, and secondarily towards calculating how much each team is charged for the players it retains for a given season, based on the players performance from the previous season.
The formula for re-evaluating the (player) stock prices has evolved over the years, and will continue to do so. As always, any updates to the formula to recalculate stock prices, is applied to the next full MPL season – the formula doesn’t change mid-way, during the MPL season.
Volatility in the stock market is a concept everyone is familiar with, and the FCSE is par for the course with stock prices here also equally volatile at times.
With that in mind, let’s review the performances of every player who took part in MPL 2016, from a stock price perspective. Listed below is the legend for reading the table that follows.
Only four player’s had a peak value higher than $30 at some point in the tournament – Ankit Soni ($30.89), Priyank Saxena ($36.29), Udith Hegde ($36.36), and Dhruv Reddy ($37.49). Each of these four players, play as an all-rounder. An all-rounder is said to be very good if he has a stock price that is north of $20. Crossing $30, and getting close to $40 puts a player in a tier well above the rest of the pack.
Priyank is the only player in MPL history, to breach the $40 mark – he had a peak of $40.50 during MPL 2015. Anil Kumar Yedugani who was second behind Priyank, with a peak value of $37.06 during MPL 2014, now slides to third behind Dhruv.
- ‘Offer Price‘: Price paid for a player’s service at the MPL 2016 “Player’s Auction”
- ‘Closing‘: Stock price for the given player after his last match in MPL 2016
- ‘Low‘: Lowest price point for the player’s stock price during the MPL 2016 season
- ‘Peak‘: Highest price point for the player’s stock price during the MPL 2016 season
- ‘Average‘: Average price point for the player’s stock price across the MPL 2016 season
- ‘*’: Indicates a player who was the captain of the team in MPL 2016. The ‘Offer Price’ for the captain for each team for the MPL 2016 season, was the average stock price for the respective player from the MPL 2015 season.
- ‘^’: Indicates a player who was the mentor/vice-captain of the team in MPL 2016. The ‘Offer Price’ for the mentor/vice-captain for each team for the MPL 2016 season, was the winning bid placed by the captain of that team for the mentor/vice-captain.

Notes:
- By nature stock prices were volatile – up and down during the evaluations. Consider an example where the stock prices for two players are at $10 and $20 entering a match, both score a first-ball duck, and do not have any other point earning opportunities. Their stock values as a result drop, but the price-point prior to the match means that they won’t both drop to the same price point, post match. Thus it takes time – multiple matches and performances on the field – for a given stock to reach a certain price point.
- The ‘Closing Price’ is a reflection of where the stock value ended at after the player’s last match – taken in line with the ‘Average’, it indicates how the player performed in/heading into his last match of the season.
- Those who played as an all-rounder had chances with the bat and ball, to push and maintain their stock value around or over the $20 mark. Thus, player’s who performed a single role – either as a batsman or as a bowler – have done well, by definition, if their average stock price was around or over $10.
