RSL Fantasy is entering its decisive phase, and the intensity is building ever more.
With the launch of the “Third Chance League” last month, both seasoned managers and newcomers have a fresh shot at competing for separate cash prizes during the final rounds.
Now comes a pivotal moment: the final Double Gameweek of the season. Six teams – Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Shabab, Al Khaleej, and Al Fateh – all play twice, making them the clear focus for Fantasy selection.
With that in mind, here’s a more polished and player-friendly breakdown of this week’s top picks as we head into Matchweek 31.
RSL Fantasy is HERE! How to play – explained!

Goalkeeper
Bento – Al Nassr (5.5 million)
The Brazil international has quietly become one of the league’s most reliable goalkeepers. After drawing level with Edouard Mendy for clean sheets, he now leads the league with 13.
Bento may not have started the season as Al Nassr’s first choice, but since stepping in following Nawaf Al Aqidi’s suspension, he has excelled, registering 12 clean sheets in his past 14 appearances.
With two fixtures ahead – Al Qadsiah and Al Shabab – the newly crowned RSL Goalkeeper of the Month is a standout option between the posts.

Defence
Ali Majrashi – Al Ahli (5.3m)
Despite a tough outing this week at Al Nassr, the two-time Asian champion was among Al Ahli’s better performers. The enterprising full-back now heads into a favourable Double Gameweek against relegation battlers Al Okhdood and mid-table Al Fateh, offering potential at both ends of the pitch.
Mohamed Simakan – Al Nassr (6.0m)
One of the most consistent performers in RSL Fantasy, the Al Nassr centre-back ranks second overall for defenders – just behind Theo Hernandez – but leads in points per game (7.9). Simakan’s consistency makes him a premium defensive pick.
Motab Al Harbi – Al Hilal (4.6m)
A true differential option, the Al Hilal full-back is owned by fewer than 10 percent of managers. However, Al Harbi has averaged eight points per game during the past five rounds and now faces Al Hazem and Al Khaleej: two fixtures for title-chasing Al Hilal that could extend his strong form.

Midfield
Ruben Neves – Al Hilal (8.3m)
The Portugal star remains one of the most dependable Fantasy assets. With 233 points, Neves is Al Hilal’s leading point scorer, amassing his haul through goal contributions (19) and all-around play. A 27% ownership reflects his consistency.
Franck Kessie – Al Ahli (6.3m)
With Ivan Toney suspended, the Cote d’Ivoire international could take on penalty duties – significantly boosting his appeal. Expect Kessie to play a central role, especially in the first match of Al Ahli’s double, at home to second-bottom Al Okhdood.

Yannick Carrasco – Al Shabab (7.7m)
Even in a difficult season for the capital club, their captain has delivered consistently, racking up a superb 222 points. Even with tricky-looking matches against Al Taawoun and Al Nassr to come, Carrasco remains a reliable midfield option.
Joao Felix – Al Nassr (7.7m)
The most-selected player in the game (55% ownership), Al Nassr’s brilliant forward continues to justify his popularity. While not among the highest scorers overall, Felix’s consistency and involvement make him hard to ignore – especially with two fixtures ahead for the league leaders.

Attack
Karim Benzema – Al Hilal (11.3m)
The RSL title winner’s season has been unusual; notably, he hasn’t gone two consecutive games without scoring. Recently, Benzema has caught fire again, netting 20-plus points across a short spell. Nearly 30% of managers are backing the Al Hilal striker to deliver big in this Double Gameweek.
Joshua King – Al Khaleej (6.4m)
Al Khaleej’s main goalscorer is hitting form at the perfect time. After netting twice last time out, King will be key as the East Coast club aim to move into the top half of the table. Two fixtures – Damac and Al Hilal – offer further opportunity to add to his debut-season tally.

Feras Al Buraikan – Al Ahli (6.3m)
With Toney unavailable, the AFC Champions League Elite hero is likely to start. While often used as a substitute this term, Al Buraikan brings strong work rate and defensive contribution – along with goal threat. A smart differential for this round.

Final Thoughts
With six teams playing twice, this week is all about maximising Double Gameweek assets. Balancing premium stars like Neves and Benzema with in-form differentials such as Al Harbi or Al Buraikan could be the key to climbing the rankings across this final stretch. Good luck!
