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.
