Built a free fantasy rugby companion site because PlayFantasyRugby didnt have all the things I was hoping for.
Hey all, I've been playing Super Rugby Pacific fantasy for a while and came from an NFL fantasy background where you have access to a ton of analytics tools. One thing I always found useful was being able to see which teams give up the most points to specific positions (like in NFL fantasy you can check if a defence leaks points to running backs before deciding who to start).
I wanted the same thing for rugby fantasy, couldn't find it anywhere, so had a go at that and it kind of built from there.
Here's what's on it now:
- **Matchup/vulnerability matrix** - see which teams concede the most fantasy points to each position, great for start/sit decisions
- **Player browser** - search and filter all 400+ players by name, team, and position, sortable by price, average points, last round score, and ownership %
- **Player detail pages** - full round-by-round points history, plus a detailed stat breakdown (tries, tackles, metres, lineouts, cards, etc.) for each round
- **Score projections** - a model blending recent form, season averages, matchup data, and player status to project scores for the upcoming round (Careful with using this as I have not been able to dial it in!) ;)
- **Fixtures and weather** - live weather forecasts at kickoff time so you can factor in conditions before lockout
- **Team fantasy scores** - see how each team performed in a given round at a glance
Would love to know if anyone finds it useful, or if there are features you wish existed. Still actively building it out so feedback is genuinely welcome! (And also things might break!)
