Value Picks
If you are looking for good value players in the low end of the budget for your team, then the following players, all valued at 12 stars or less, should deliver for their price…
- Carys Phillips (Wales) – Hooker – 12 stars
- Teani Feleu (France) – Back Row – 11.5 stars
- Lleucu George (Wales) – Centre* – 11.5 stars
- Silvia Turani (Italy) – Prop – 11.4 stars
- Valeria Fedrighi (Italy) – Second Row – 11.4 stars
- Vittoria Vecchini (Italy) – Hooker – 11.3 stars
- Erin King (Ireland) – Back Row – 10.6 stars
- Seraphine Okemba (France) – Prop* – 10.4 stars
- Anna McGann (Ireland) – Back Row* – 10.3 stars
- Sara Seye (Italy) – Prop – 10.2 stars
- Morgan Bourgeois (France) – Fly Half* – 10 stars
- Aoife Dalton (Ireland) – Centre – 9.9 stars
- Montserrat Amadee (France) – 9.8 stars
Supersub Strategy
For those playing the Official Game, we look at potential options for the SuperSub role.
Ultimately SuperSub is a bit of a lottery. You could luck out if one of the starting XV needs to go off in the early stages of the game, but likewise you could be at the mercy of a coach who decides to leave their backs on the bench for the entire 80 minutes, so you have to play the percentages and consider the risks.
As covered in detail in a previous post, for me the key areas to consider in a SuperSub are…
- Will they come on, and will they play a significant period of time
- How the team has used their bench in previous games
- The split of subs on the bench
With this in mind, I will be looking to the following candidates to give the SuperSub selection to in Round 1…
- Abi Burton – BR – England
- Amy Cokayne – H – England
- Cliodhna Moloney – H – Ireland
- Maud Muir – P – England
