Advanced Strategies

Team Selection Strategy

Mastering team selection is key to success in fantasy rugby:

  • Balance your budget – Don’t spend all your salary cap on star players. Find value in lesser-known players who get significant playing time.
  • Study the fixture list – Choose players from teams with favorable upcoming matches.
  • Check team announcements – Always verify your players are in the starting lineup before contests begin.
  • Consider form over reputation – A player in good form often outscores a bigger name who’s struggling.
  • Balance risk and reward – Mix consistent performers with high-ceiling players who could have breakout games.

Player Trends Analysis

Use the app’s analytics tools to inform your decisions:

  • Track player momentum across multiple games
  • Analyze performance against specific opponents
  • Monitor playing time trends
  • Check injury reports and recovery patterns
  • Review point breakdowns to identify consistent scorers

Transfer Strategy

In season-long formats, smart transfers can make the difference:

  • Save transfers for injury crises when possible
  • Target player price rises to build team value
  • Plan transfers weeks in advance using the fixture calendar
  • Consider bye weeks when building your initial squad
  • Use bench players strategically for rotation

Pro Tips for Success

Stay Active

Check the app daily to stay on top of news, injuries, and lineup changes. Active managers consistently outperform inactive ones.

Join Communities

Participate in the in-app forums and community to share insights, get advice, and learn strategies from experienced players.

Manage Your Budget

Start with free contests to build experience before entering paid tournaments. Set a weekly or monthly budget and stick to it.
