Captain options
Julz ($16,800)
Julz has been absolutely terrific in the second season’s Let’s Play Live Championship. He has the highest goals per game with 1.30 and comfortably so. In fact, the next on that list is Decka with 0.95 goals. That massive discrepancy makes Julz the most expensive player in this slate. He also has 0.72 assists in this competition per game over 40 games.
Decka ($16,200)
Not far behind Julz is Decka. In 279 games during his professional Rocket League career, Decka has managed 0.71 goals on 2.57 shots per game. His defensive skill also aids his all-round contribution: he has registered 1.33 saves as well. His fantasy average of 185 DKFP could make him a high-value target.
Amphis ($15,000)
Amphis has arguably the most well-rounded numbers during this season’s RLCS competition. In 47 games, he has 44 goals on 139 shots, highest in both metrics. He even has 83 saves per game, making him a vital defensive player as well for Fury. With 0.68 assists as well, Amphis has proved to be a reliable contributor from a fantasy perspective.

High-priced flex options
Scarth ($11,000)
One of Fury’s strengths during this RLCS has been the manner in which they have owned their defensive skill. All of their players have high saves per game, including Scarth who has been averaging 1.60 saves during this tournament. Over 87 games in his career, that averages comes down but only slightly to 1.52 saves.
Requiem ($9,600)
With 146.8 DKFP, the jury is out on whether Requiem satisfies the return on investment criteria. One thing is for sure: he has some serious offensive skill. He has been putting up 0.76 goals per game on 2.35 shots and 1.51 saves as well. He hasn’t been as good as Fever ($10,400) but he is still good enough to make your roster if you’re looking for a more inexpensive option.
Others to consider: Spydoge ($9,800).
Value flex options
KennySalmon ($9,400)
If you’re looking for a stacking strategy, KennySalmon from Fury fits the bill. In the second season of the Let’s Play Championship, he has the most saves with 93. In Fury, he might not be the best offensive player with Scarth and Amphis as his team-mates. However, he is undoubtedly the best in protecting the goal. He has also chipped in with 0.66 assists per game, an under-rated characteristic in Rocket League.
Others to consider: Walcott ($8,800)
