Your captain earns double points, so select a player with high scoring potential. Look for fly-halves with good kicking records or centers known for try-scoring ability in favorable matchups.
While tries are exciting, don't overlook defensive players. A flanker with 20+ tackles can outscore a winger who doesn't get many touches. Build a balanced lineup.
Research matchups and target players facing teams with poor defensive records. Centers and wingers against leaky defenses often produce line breaks and tries.
High-floor players who consistently accumulate tackles, meters, and involvement are often better than boom-or-bust try-scorers. Consistency wins contests.
Late scratches and position changes can impact performance. Check team announcements before lineups lock to avoid rostering players who won't feature prominently.
Teams expected to dominate possession will give their players more scoring opportunities. Target players from teams favored to control the match tempo.
Props and locks typically score through tackles and occasional short-range tries. Flankers and number eights offer more varied scoring through tackles, turnovers, line breaks, and tries. Focus on players in attacking teams for forward positions.
Fly-halves score heavily through conversions and penalty goals in addition to tries and assists. Centers and wingers are your primary try-scorers. Fullbacks can rack up meters and often join attacking plays for bonus points.
Always roster your team's primary goal-kicker. Conversion and penalty points add up quickly and provide a solid scoring floor even in low-scoring matches.
