Fantasy Scoring Strategy

Understanding the point system allows you to strategically build your fantasy rugby team. Here are some tips to maximize your points:

Forwards Strategy

When selecting forwards, prioritize players who:

  • Have high tackle counts and low missed tackles
  • Are part of dominant scrums and lineouts
  • Are known for breakdown turnovers
  • Score tries regularly (especially for flankers and Number 8s)

Backs Strategy

For backs, look for players who:

  • Generate line breaks and beat defenders
  • Accumulate high meters gained
  • Score or assist tries regularly
  • Have high success rates in their positional roles (kicks, high balls, etc.)

Advanced Point Strategy

Here are some advanced considerations to maximize your fantasy team’s points:

  • Matchup Analysis: Select players who are facing weaker defensive teams, as they’ll likely score more points.
  • Weather Conditions: In rainy conditions, forwards tend to get more involvement, while dry conditions favor backs.
  • Game Importance: Players in crucial matches often perform better than in less significant games.
  • Kicking Duties: Players who handle goal-kicking responsibilities have higher point potential.
  • Form: Consider players’ recent performances rather than just their reputation.
