Managers need to pay close attention real soon

Calling all RSL Fantasy - it’s time to start planning ahead as the upcoming rounds of the 2025-26 Roshn Saudi League promise major opportunities - and potential pitfalls - with both Double and Blank Gameweeks on the horizon.

So, here’s a few pointers to keep you on track.

Gameweek 31: Double opportunity

Gameweek 31 will feature a significant Double Gameweek, with six teams playing twice:

  • Al Nassr vs Al Qadsiah and Al Shabab
  • Al Hilal vs Al Hazem and Al Khaleej
  • Al Ahli vs Al Okhdood and Al Fateh
  • Al Shabab vs Al Nassr and Al Taawoun
  • Al Khaleej vs Al Hilal and Damac
  • Al Fateh vs Al Ahli and NEOM Sports Club

With so many teams in action twice, this Gameweek presents a key opportunity to maximise points. Thus, loading up on players from these sides could make a major difference, especially with captaincy and chip strategies in play.

Gameweek 33: A Double - and a Blank

Gameweek 33 brings a different kind of challenge…

  • Al Ittihad are the only team with a Double Gameweek, with the RSL champions taking on Al Ettifaq and Al Shabab.
  • Al Nassr, meanwhile, will not play at all - making them the only team with a Blank Gameweek.

Of course, this creates a tricky balance for Fantasy managers. While Al Ittihad players could offer strong returns, having too many Al Nassr assets could leave you short-handed.

Plan Ahead

These schedule changes could have a considerable impact on the final weeks of the season. Smart squad planning - and well-timed use of chips - will therefore be crucial to navigating both the Double and Blank Gameweeks successfully.
