Welcome to our latest instalment of our weekly pre-match updates 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!
A reminder that this season we have two games running for Prem this season, Fantasy Rugby Draft and Fantasy Rugby World, so sign up and get picking.
