Round two of the Six Nations is upon us, and with a great set of fixtures to get stuck into now is a great time to start making changes to your fantasy team.
Gabin Villière was the best player of round one with 125.4 points but faces a tough test against Ireland this weekend and may not get the same chances he enjoyed while scoring his hat-trick against Italy last week.
A player named 'Mr Rugby' tops the standings after round one and you can see his team here, but all could be set to change this weekend with Wales vs Scotland, France vs Ireland and England vs Italy all to be played.
This year there are lots of exciting talents to choose from and some interesting rules that come into play, making for an exciting experience for any fans following the tournament.
This means that the neutrals have something to cheer for even when their team is not playing. Even those who don't regularly watch rugby can make a team to have something to talk about in front of the games in the pub.
Here we take a look at all the key things you need to know for playing this year's Fantasy Six Nations game:
How do I play Fantasy Six Nations?
It's easy to set up a team and can be done on the official Six Nations website - it costs nothing to play and you can set up leagues to play with your mates and colleagues.
What are the rules?
Player selection:
You can modify your team between rounds and as long a player's match has not kicked off you can edit your team should any last minute injuries occur.
Budget:
Each team starts with 205 stars to build their team - the lowest player value is James Ratti of Wales (six stars) with the highest being new France captain and World Player of The Year Antione Dupont (19 stars).
Player values will evolve throughout the tournament, so you may be looking at smart investments whose value will rise before selling them on to get a higher rated player.
Player limit per nation:
You are only allowed four players from each nation.
Positions and composition:
Each team must have 1 full-back, 2 wingers, 2 centres, 1 fly-half, 1 scrum-half, 3 back-rows, 2 second-rows, 2 props and 1 hooker which is automatically organised when selecting your XV so don't worry if those positions are meaningless to you.
Captain and supersub
Each team can pick a captain, who will have their points total doubled each round and also a supersub, whose points will be tripled should they come off the bench.
If they start or do not play then their score will be divided by two like the other subs meaning that you will need to pick your bench carefully.
The rest of the rules can be found here.
Who should I pick for round 2?
Matt Fagerson (Scotland)
Fagerson was named Player of the Match in his side's Calcutta Cup win and was one of the top-scoring forwards, with 58.5 points, making the fantasy team of the week in the process.
The Number 8 made 54 metres from eight carries, averaging 6.75 meters per carry but it was in defence where he shone, making 13 tackles against a strong English attacking performance.
His ability to shine both in attack and defence and with a low price of 11.8, he could be a fantastic signing for your team ahead of his game against a struggling Wales side.
Mack Hansen (Ireland)
A quite incredible display from the 23-year-old Connacht winger yielded 82.1 points earned him a nod for Six Nations Player of the Round but he faces a tough task against France this weekend.
The former Brumbies man, who moved to Ireland to play for Connacht and the country of his mother's birth produced a barnstorming attacking display against Wales.
However, the biggest selling point for your fantasy team is a price of just 11.5 stars which sets him apart from some of the more established backs.
Freddie Steward (England)
One of the few shining lights for England at Murrayfield was Freddie Steward who looked more than comfortable under the high ball and solid in all other aspects of the game.
For a player who looked world class against world champions South Africa in the autumn, a value of 12.7 stars is incredibly good value and could be a sound investment with his price sure to go up.
Should England play to their full potential against Italy, Steward will be at the centre of a high-scoring performance and would be among the highest scorers of Round Two.
Finn Russell (Scotland)
Finn Russell was at his mercurial best as Scotland beat England at Murrayfield last weekend and with a game against out of form Wales to look forward to, it could be a big weekend for the fly-half.
Despite his natural flair, it was his tactical kicking and unerring place-kicking which took the game out of England's grasp at Murrayfield and he could have a similar effect against Wales.
He will likely kick all of Scotland's points from the tee and with Wales' defence in question, the flamboyant Racing 92 man could secure a big haul of points, despite modest numbers in week one.
Andrew Porter (Ireland)
The Leinster front-row is fast becoming one of the more notable units in the game right now and all three components, Tadgh Furlong, Ronan Kelleher & Andrew Porter averaging 30.4 points.
Porter's name perhaps went under the radar with Furlong alongside him but his 12.8 price tag makes him one of the big stars to watch out for in round two.
He averaged six metres made across five carries at the Aviva against Wales, which are huge numbers for a prop - helping into the Fantasy Team of the Week for Round One.
