Recently a new fantasy sports portal has been launched for Indian players by the founders of online poker website 9stacks. Known as Faboom Gaming LLP it brought an innovative model of playing fantasy sports called rank fantasy. The model discards the requirement of choosing a captain and vice-captain while drafting a fantasy league team and instead requires players to rank all 11 players in order of their preference, based on which a multiplier is applied to the points achieved by the players.

According to the website, this rank fantasy model reduces variance due to extreme outcomes since the points generated in the rank fantasy format do not significantly depend on the performance of one or two players, unlike the conventional format that depends to a large extent on the points generated by the designated captain and vice-captain.
