The 2025-26 Roshn Saudi League is heading into its final five rounds – and with it comes the launch of the "Third Chance" phase in RSL Fantasy.
This mini-league offers a fresh opportunity for Fantasy managers who are no longer in contention for the overall title this season.
Participation in the Third Chance League is open to everyone, whether you’re an existing manager or creating a new account, as confirmed in our official announcement last week.
Managers can register for the Third Chance League via the designated link and start building their squads for the run-in.

Goalkeeper
Luis Maximiano – NEOM Sports Club (4.6 million)
The Portuguese stopper has stepped in impressively following Marcin Bulka’s season-long injury and has quickly become a reliable presence in goal. Maximiano has played a key role in securing NEOM SC’s top-flight status ahead of Matchweek 30, especially after Al Riyadh’s recent defeat to Al Hazem.
With ownership at just 4.2 percent, Maximiano represents a strong differential option ahead of his team’s home clash against Al Hazem.

Defence
Pedro Rebocho – Al Khaleej (5.2m)
The Al Khaleej defender has been one of the most productive defenders this season, registering five assists and amassing 134 Fantasy points. With ownership nearing 13%, he offers both consistency and attacking threat. Al Khaleej face already-relegated Al Najmah, making this a favourable fixture.
Ahmed Hegazi – NEOM SC (5.0m)
The RSL title-winner’s experience has been vital this term for new boys NEOM SC. Despite the Tabuk side facing a high volume of shots, Hegazi continues to deliver solid returns, accumulating 122 points so far. With low ownership (3.5%), he could be a valuable differential.

Moteb Al Harbi – Al Hilal (4.5m)
The Saudi Arabia full-back has contributed to four goals this season, including two of his own, and thus ranks among Al Hilal’s top defenders for attacking returns, behind only Theo Hernandez.
Still owned by fewer than 10% of managers, Al Harbi’s a strong budget option ahead of the title-chasers’ home match against relegation-threatened Damac.

Midfield
Ruben Neves – Al Hilal (8.1m)
One of the standout performers this season, the Portuguese schemer has racked up 228 points – placing him among the league’s elite. Alongside midfield partner Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Neves is one of only two Al Hilal stars to surpass 200 points this campaign.
Yannick Carrasco – Al Shabab (7.6m)
The Belgian baller continues to lead from the front for Al Shabab and ranks among the top Fantasy scorers in the league. With a selection rate of 25.3%, Carrasco remains a popular and reliable pick ahead of their home fixture against Al Fateh.

Mourad Batna – Al Fateh (7.8m)
Our RSL stalwart represents Al Fateh’s standout Fantasy asset, leading the team with 153 points and a selection rate of 16.5%. Batna’s attacking contributions will be key in his team’s trip to Al Shabab.
Georgios Masouras – Al Khaleej (6.2m)
One of Al Khaleej’s gifted Greek contingent, the midfielder offers excellent value for money, delivering 165 points at a modest price. Masouras is also among Al Khaleej’s top scorers (12 goals), making him a smart midfield selection.
Julian Quinones – Al Qadsiah (10.3m)
Hot on the heels of Ivan Toney in the race for the golden boot, the Mexican currently leads the overall Fantasy standings, with 282 points. With 26 goals and 12 Man of the Match awards, Quinones has been one of the most consistent performers this season – and so remains a premium pick.

Attack
Karim Benzema – Al Hilal (11.1m)
The reigning RSL Player of the Year continues to deliver at an elite level, boasting the best goals-per-minute ratio among players with 20-plus goals (one every 105 minutes). Now thriving at Al Hilal, Benzema also leads the league in hat-tricks this season, with four.
Roger Martinez – Al Taawoun (7.7m)
Another chasing down Toney in the 2025-26 top-scorer charts, the Colombian has extra motivation heading into the final rounds, with fifth-placed Al Taawoun pushing for AFC Champions League Elite qualification spots.
Although Martinez’s points-per-game average has dipped slightly in recent weeks, the Buraidah club’s ambitions suggest he could finish the season strongly. And what better place to start than a Matchweek 30 clash with the team directly below them, Al Ittihad?
