The latest in a series of game overviews to give you the ins and outs of the available games in place for this season’s Six Nations. If any new games pop up, please let us know at fantasyrugbygeek@gmail.com or @frugbygeek on Twitter.
Next under the microscope is Superbru. Back for another season, SuperBru is the same format that they have in place for the Champions Cup, Prem and URC. You can check it out here.
THE PREMISE
While Superbru is well known to many Fantasy Rugby fans, the game had a massive reboot last season, and is now a salary cap style game in which you have a budget of £100m to build a squad of a 23 players, with one in each field position plus one reserve for each grouping (So your squad is four outside backs, three centres, two fly-halves, two scrum-halves, four loose forwards, three locks, two hookers, three props), unlike some other fantasy rugby games, you do not get any points for the players on your bench (although if one of your starters isn’t playing then your bench players will come on), so choose your starting XV wisely.
You are limited to six players per team, and once the tournament gets underway, you can make four transfers each round (any extra transfers incur a 6 point hit).
Full scoring info is available in-game and looks to be largely the same this season compared to last season.
You are also highly recommended to download the Superbru Rugby mobile app so you can access all their Rugby fantasy and predictor games on the go. You can check it out here for iOS and here for Android.
THE KEY POINTS
- Squad Size: 23
- Team size: 15
- Double scoring captain?: Yes
- Designated Kicker?: Yes (Can’t be the same player as your captain)
- Transfers: 4 free transfers per round
- Max players from one team: 6
THE EDGE
Plan ahead
Keep an eye on the fixture list when making your transfers to ensure that you get the best bang for your buck and that the players in teams with favourable runs of fixtures are in your side
Double check your XV is starting before the round lock
Once the gameweek lock has passed, you cannot change your team. Lineups are usually all announced by Friday afternoon, so keep an eye on the lineups and make sure your XV are all starting.
Out-of-position players are worth their weight in gold
Keep an eye on players who are classified in one position but end up playing in another position that may well provide greater returns (think a winger classified as a centre, a loose forward classified as a lock, etc).
Players who like to run with the ball have the potential to score big
With 0.5 points on offer for each 5m covered, you will be well rewarded with players who run the ball in from deep and can take on and beat players, so load your team up with fullbacks and wings who like to run with the ball. Some of these stars from last year are well worth looking into…
