How the Weekly Bonus Leaderboard Works
The Come Sports weekly bonus leaderboard runs from Monday 00:00 IST to Sunday 23:59 IST, with the leaderboard resetting every Monday morning. The top 10 players by total fantasy points scored across all contests during the week share a Rs 1 lakh bonus cash pool, with Rs 30,000 to first place, Rs 20,000 to second, Rs 15,000 to third, and Rs 5,000 each to places 4-10.
The leaderboard is based on total fantasy points, not total entry fees. This is the key difference from a buy-in leaderboard — a casual player with smart captain picks and 20 contests can win, not just high-volume players who enter 200+ contests per week. The leaderboard is the right place to compete for players with limited time but high skill.
The bonus cash is credited to the winning players’ wallets within 24 hours of the leaderboard finalisation, and the bonus is available for immediate use in any contest. The bonus has a 1x playthrough requirement, the same as the welcome bonus, and the bonus expires 14 days after credit (vs 30 days for the welcome bonus).
Week 6 Top 10 Winners
The week 6 leaderboard saw 847 players qualify with at least 1,000 fantasy points, and the top 10 finalists shared the Rs 1 lakh pool. First place went to Aniket Sharma from Bengaluru with 8,432 points across 32 contests, including 4 captain pick 2x multipliers and 2 vice-captain 1.5x multipliers.
Second place was Priya Patel from Mumbai with 7,891 points across 28 contests. Priya’s strategy was to focus exclusively on the mega contest (Rs 49 entry) and to use contrarian captain picks on 60% of her entries. The contrarian strategy paid off when her captain pick on a bowler in a turning pitch match generated 78 points — more than double the average captain score.
Third place was Rajesh Kumar from Delhi with 7,234 points across 45 contests. Rajesh’s strategy was high-volume, entering multiple small contests (Rs 10-30 entry) with consistent captain picks. The volume approach generated 2-3% ROI on entry fees, which compounded into the leaderboard-topping total.
The Smart Strategies Behind the Winners
The top 10 winners shared three common strategies. First, all of them used the Come Sports AI captain pick engine to generate their initial captain pick shortlist, then applied their own analysis to pick the final captain for each match. The AI suggestion was a starting point, not a final answer.
Second, all of them focused on a single contest type rather than spreading across multiple contest types. Aniket focused on the mega contest, Priya focused on the mega contest with contrarian picks, and Rajesh focused on small contests with high volume. The focus on a single contest type allowed each winner to develop deep expertise in their chosen contest type.
Third, all of them tracked their captain pick accuracy daily. The Come Sports stats dashboard shows captain pick accuracy by venue, opposition, and player role, and the top winners used the dashboard to identify their weak spots and adjust their strategy week by week. The discipline of tracking and adjusting is what separated the top 10 from the 847 other qualifiers.
How to Qualify for Next Week's Leaderboard
To qualify for next week’s leaderboard, you need to score at least 1,000 fantasy points across all contests played during the week. The 1,000-point threshold is achievable with 15-20 contests, depending on the contests and your captain pick accuracy.
The recommended approach is to combine the Come Sports welcome bonus cash with your own deposits. Use the bonus cash for 10-15 small contests (Rs 10-30 entry) and your deposits for 5-10 mega contests (Rs 49-99 entry). The combination maximizes the leaderboard points per rupee spent, and the leaderboard points compound the bonus cash value through the weekly pool.
Track your daily progress on the Come Sports leaderboard, which is updated in real time. If you are below 1,000 points by Friday, focus on the weekend’s marquee matches with high-confidence captain picks. The weekend matches typically generate 40-50% of the weekly fantasy points, so a strong weekend can push you into the top 10 even if you started the week slowly.
