Back into the midweek fixtures! This week we have one game on Tuesday and five on Wednesday. In case you missed it, as with Round 16, there will be no Fantasy Rugby Draft coverage for the midweek rounds (or for any matches played on a Monday…) so if you are here for FRD tips, you can stand down and get preparing for Round 20 (which has just 5 matches, so prepare carefully!). If you are playing in The Rugby Magazine, then read on! This is a bonus midweek FRG weekly tips. For those new to FRG, the weekly pre-match tips are where we analyse the weekend’s lineups, crunch the stats and see what the bookies are thinking to help you optimise your lineups for peak performance this weekend! By the time you finish this article you should have all the insight you need to score big fantasy points this weekend.
Make sure you come back every weekend before finalising your lineups!

Premiership Rugby Injury News
Gaining reliable Injury news for the Premiership is extremely difficult, and while we don’t have a database of the latest injuries at Fantasy Rugby Geek, we would highly recommend The Rugby Magazine’s injuries page which remains the most exhaustive source of Premiership injury news that can be found. Details of this and many other useful Fantasy Rugby resources can be found at our Resources page.
