RSL Fantasy is HERE! How to play - explained!
--------
Goalkeeper
Mailson - Al Taawoun (5.3 million)
The Al Taawoun No.1 feels a standout choice this week. Despite a narrow 1-0 defeat last time out at Al Nassr, Mailson's impressive performance earned him nine points and a nomination for Man of the Match.
Currently, the Brazilian ranks third among goalkeepers in total points. As Al Taawoun prepare to host second-from-bottom Al Okhdood, Mailson’s shot-stopping skills, or chances of a clean sheet, could prove valuable.

Defence
Danilo Pereira - Al Ittihad (6.1m)
Pereira has been a defensive powerhouse, leading the league with 1,294 completed passes and 25 bonus points. His consistent performances make him a reliable choice as Al Ittihad take on Al Fateh. Expect Pereira to contribute both defensively and in build-up play.
Ahmed Hegazi - NEOM SC (5m)
Hegazi is a hidden gem with a selection rate of just 3.5 percent. Known for his goalscoring ability, he’s netted 10 goals in the RSL in his career. With NEOM Sports Club hosting relegation-threatened Damac, Hegazi could be a game-changer for your defence.
Mohammed Mahzari - Al Taawoun (5m)
Mahzari recently hit the 100-point milestone, making him one of only nine defenders to do so in the RSL this season. With a selection rate of 11.7%, he’s a solid option for those looking to strengthen their backline. He’s also a threat in the attacking phase, having scored against Al Fayha in Matchweek 6.
--------
Midfield
Fashion Sakala - Al Fayha (7.9m)
Sakala is back in form, scoring in his past three matches and totalling five goals this term. With Al Fayha facing Al Khaleej at home, he could be poised to add to his tally and boost your Fantasy points.
Sadio Mane - Al Nassr (9.9m)
Mane has been flawless in the league in 2025-26, winning all 10 of his matches. He scored eight points in his recent return after a seven-match absence because of 2025 Africa Cup of Nations duty, and will be looking to capitalise on that momentum at Al Kholood.
Without doubt, Mane's contributions will be crucial as Al Nassr continue to chase the title.
Ruben Neves - Al Hilal (8.1m)
After a brief absence, Neves is back and ready to help the league leaders bounce back from a rare dropping of points in Matchweek 18. With 154 points, he’s among the top three midfielders in the RSL and has contributed to a goal in his past four matches, making him a must-have.
Julian Quinones - Al Qadsiah (10.2m) Quinones is currently the top Fantasy player, boasting 173 points and eight Man of the Match awards - including his past six consecutive appearances. His consistent performances make him a prime candidate for your midfield this week.
--------
Attack
Luciano Rodriguez - NEOM SC (5.5m)
Rodriguez is an undervalued option with a selection rate of just 1.5%. He’s among the top 15 forwards in the league and has made significant contributions at promoted side NEOM SC, with five goals. Look for him to shine against a struggling Damac this round.
Roger Martinez - Al Taawoun (7.3m)
After a four-match scoring streak, Martinez is looking to get back on the scoresheet following his blank at Al Nassr. He’s currently sixth overall for points accrued in Fantasy this season and, up against an Al Okhdood fighting for survival, he has the potential to break through once more.
Ivan Toney - Al Ahli (10.8m)
Toney has been on fire, scoring 10 or more points in seven consecutive rounds. With 15 goals to his name, he ranks second among strikers in the Roshn Fantasy League. Expect him to make an impact yet again as title-chasing Al Ahli look to secure vital points at home to Al Ettifaq.
