Strategy Tips
Choose Your Captain Wisely
Your captain earns 2x points, so select a consistent high-scorer or a player with a favorable matchup. Star forwards often provide reliable try-scoring opportunities.
Balance Attack and Defense
Don’t overlook defensive players. Flankers and locks can rack up tackle points while also contributing to attacking play. A balanced lineup often outperforms an attack-heavy squad.
Monitor Team Matchups
Study upcoming fixtures. Teams playing weaker opponents are more likely to score multiple tries. Defensive players facing strong attacks will accumulate more tackle points.
Kickers Are Valuable
A reliable kicker who takes conversions and penalty kicks provides steady points. Look for fly-halves and fullbacks who are their team’s primary kickers.
Stay Within Salary Cap
You can’t select all the superstars. Find value picks—lesser-known players in good form who can deliver points at lower salaries. This allows you to fit more premium players into your lineup.
Check Injury Reports
Always verify the latest team news before lineup deadlines. A star player ruled out due to injury can sink your contest chances. Have backup options ready.
