The European RLCS resumes on Sunday morning with two more qualification games. Despite just 12 players to choose from, there are several openings to capitalize on. We take a look at those opportunities below.

Captain options
Chausette45 ($16,200)
Chausette45 has years of experience behind him. He has played 748 games to date, and has been on the winning side for more than half of those. He has averaged 0.66 goals on 2.65 shots per game, along with 1.84 saves. Those numbers over such a long period makes him a worthy pick. His form in the ninth season of the European RLCS has been even better — 0.68 goals on 3.82 shots with over two saves per game.
Ronaky ($15,600)
Offensive-minded is his style. That fits well with his role on the Barcelona team. He is averaging nearly one goal per game (0.97) with 3.43 shots. If an aggressive captain is your choice, then Ronaky will be your pick. He has been taking well over three shots in this season as well.
Freakii ($15,000)
Players with a large bank of games generally will make safe picks for Captain because it’s your most important position in a Rocket League roster. Steady numbers over a sustained period of time allows you to also figure out the style of a player. The German Freakii has 540 games of experience, with 0.70 goals on nearly three shots per game.
High-priced flex options
Flakes ($8,800)
Interestingly, Flakes at a price of $8,800 could easily fit into the value category too. His career statistics will challenge the best in this slate. His offensive capability has been evident, not just over his career, but this season as well. He is averaging 0.70 goals on 2.68 shots along with 0.43 assists. That low assist rate is probably why his price isn’t as high but he’s definitely worth the punt.
Speed ($10,600)
An expensive captain will handicap your flex options. You could pick four of your best players and play around with the permutations to fit within the salary cap. If you avoid picking Speed as captain, there is a good chance you can fit him in your flex spots. He’s worthy of that because he has remained an offensive asset this season with more than three shots per game.
Value flex options
Kuxir97 ($9,200)
If you pick Kuxir97 as the first player on your roster, it opens up so many opportunities to fit your main selections easily. Here’s why he is a valuable inclusion:
· Experience: He has played 887 professional Rocket League games to date.
· Offensive prowess: He has averaged 0.83 assists on 3.10 shots per game.
· Recent form: He averages 3.13 shots with 0.68 goals.
· Price: All this for just $9,200.
