Fantasy sports with Selenium
Pick 11 players under a 100-credit budget with a 7-per-team cap and role minimums/maximums — every blocked + explains why — then choose captain and vice-captain, save, and see your leaderboard rank.

Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
Account login
BeginnerUsername + password (fx-login-id, fx-password, fx-login). Teams and rank belong to the signed-in account; fx-logout signs out.
- 2
Counters
BeginnerEach pick updates players-selected, credits-left, count-IND/AUS and role-count-*.
- 3
Disabled with a reason
IntermediateWhen a rule blocks a player, pick-<id> is disabled and its title / block-<id> text says why.
- 4
Budget rule
IntermediatePick expensive players until “Not enough credits” appears.
- 5
Team cap
IntermediateAfter 7 IND players, every other IND pick is blocked.
- 6
Role limits
AdvancedRole max and “leave room for other roles' minimums” both block picks — test both.
- 7
Captain rules
IntermediateThe same player can't be both C and VC; projected-points recalculates with multipliers.
- 8
Countdown lock
Advancedlock-countdown-* ticks every second; the semi-final shows locked-m2 and a disabled button.
- 9
Leaderboard sort
Beginnersort-points toggles order and aria-sort; your team is highlighted with my-rank.
Sample Selenium suite
A working starting point that finds elements every way Selenium can — by role, label, text, id, name, CSS, XPath and data-testid — so you practice them all. Pick your language, switch to data-testid only to compare, or try your own in the Locator Playground.
