The 2022 Guinness Six Nations concludes with Super Saturday, and there have been more risers and fallers in the world of Fantasy Rugby after a dramatic penultimate weekend.

Values rise and fall depending on players’ performances on the pitch, and Round 4 saw some more changes after another exciting weekend of matches.

Changes for Round 5 must be made before 2.15pm March 19, so there’s plenty of time to ponder your choices and maximise those points.

Risers

Hugo Keenan

After a superb tournament, Ireland full-back Hugo Keenan has been rewarded with one of the most significant price rises in this year’s Fantasy Rugby.

He has seen his value increase from 15 stars to 17.1 stars ahead of the crucial match with Scotland this weekend.

Melvyn Jaminet

France flanker Melvyn Jaminet has been one of the fastest rising stars of this year’s Guinness Six Nations and starred in Round 4 to score 49.8 points.

The 22-year-old has seen his value increase from 14.7 stars to 15.7 ahead of his side’s clash with England with France chasing their tenth Grand Slam.

Harry Randall

Harry Randall is one of the only players not to see his price decrease after last weekend’s 32-15 defeat at the hands of Ireland, meaning he is still available for 11.6 stars.

Ali Price

Following a Player of the Match performance in the 33-22 win against Italy, Ali Price has seen his value increase from 12.4 stars to 14.9 but is worth considering this week as they prepare to visit Ireland.

Taulupe Faletau

Wales No.8 Taulupe Faletau reminded us why he is considered one of the best back rows in the world during Rounds 3 and 4 of this year’s Guinness Six Nations, with his value increasing from 14.3 to 15.

He may have started Rugby’s Greatest Championship on the sidelines, but he could be crucial this weekend when his side take on Italy.

Monty Ioane

Monty Ioane has been Italy’s star performer during the Guinness Six Nations.

He had his best performance of the Championship so far last week against Scotland, recording 76.8 points and seeing his value increase from 13.6 stars to 15.6 as a result.

Fallers

Mack Hansen

After missing out on the Round 4 match against England, Mack Hansen has seen his value decrease from 13.7 stars to 13.4. Ireland name their team to face Scotland on Thursday so players would be wise to wait until then before assessing Hansen’s place.

Gabin Villière

Gabin Villière has been one of the best players in this year’s Championship.

But that has not stopped his value from decreasing significantly after not playing in Round 3 and a quiet performance in Round 4 that saw him record just 32.8 points against Wales.

His value has decreased from 16.4 stars to 15.8.

Maro Itoje

Despite defending well against Ireland, Maro Itoje has seen his price plummet from 15.5 stars to 14, meaning he’s seen his price drop after every round of this year’s Guinness Six Nations.

But fantasy players should not be put off. His electric display against Ireland was one of the best individual displays we’ve seen this year and he is likely to carry that form into the Stade de France on Saturday night.

Josh Adams

Josh Adams may be one of the most exciting wingers in Europe but has struggled for tries in this Championship and has seen his value decrease from 16.4 stars to 15.1.
