Just two crucial games during this weekend’s Oceania RLCS in DraftKings’ slate. We break down some options for Captain along with value and high-priced flex options.

Captain options
Julz ($15,300)
Julz leads Oceania this season in goal scoring (1.19 goals a game). He isn’t the most efficient goal scorer though because he takes nearly four shots per game (3.92). However, that is not a deterrent for fantasy users because points are awarded for shots taken in DraftKings’ point-scoring system.
Amphis ($16,500)
With 1.15 goals per game, Amphis is the second-most proficient goal scorer during this RLCS season. He is so important because he’s extremely solid in most other parameters as well, particularly defensively, where he is averaging 1.67 saves per game. He is arguably the Oceania MVP for this season, thus far.
Fever ($14,400)
Strategy in Rocket League is very different from most other sports. With just four spots to fill, you need to figure out your permutations and combinations to maximize point scoring. Picking a cheaper-priced captain allows you to pick your first three preferred picks. That’s why Fever is a strong choice here. He has been solid on both ends of the field, with 0.63 goals, 0.81 assists (third this season) and 1.74 saves per game.
High-priced flex options
Decka ($10,600)
Decka would be in my first three choices on this slate. He has been terrific in front of goal with 1.12 goals per game this season on 3.42 shots. He isn’t overpriced either for that level of production. After Amphis, he is probably the second-most useful player during the ninth season of the Oceania RLCS.
Torsos ($9,600)
Torsos has been a pivotal cog for Cringe Society this season. He has scored 19 goals this year, five more than the next highest scorer on his team, on 82 shots taken. He’d like to improve that conversion rate, but he has still been handy. Defensively, he has managed to save 38 goals.
Value flex options
Scarth ($8,800)
If you play your cards well, you won’t need to look for a value flex option below $9,000. However, if you’re pursuing the more aggressive route for your Captains, then your value flex option could be Scarth. Considering he has scored 22 goals (ninth best in the RLCS for Oceania) on 65 shots in 27 games with 17 assists, a price of $8,800 is a bargain purchase.
