Following on from Tuesday's top five tips, 2012 Fantasy Super Rugby champion Daryl Johnson runs the rule over three dos and don'ts for this season's competition.

Daryl has revealed several key dos and don'ts to help bolster your roster and maximise your points for each round.

DOS

1. Do try to ensure that your reserves have a realistic chance of playing most weeks. Having Hugh Pyle ($250K) as my reserve lock last season was one of the main reasons I won the competition. He came on for my team when Nathan Sharpe injured his back. He scored 2 tries in 5 minutes and those extra points catapulted my team into the lead.

2. Do try to pick a captain and vice-captain that are reliable. It's imperative they can make you thirty points even on a bad day at the office.

3. Do a check of the weather and playing conditions. This may effect who you pick as captain or play as a reserve. Fantasy coaches love a dry track and attention to this detail may get you that extra couple of points.

DON'TS

1. Don't keep players who are underperforming in your squad. Unlike your personal favourite Super Rugby XV there is no room for sentimentality with Fantasy coaches. Conversely, not picking a player who you despise but is playing at the top of his game is also a recipe for disaster.

2. Don't pick backrowers whose primary role is pilfering the ball for their team. If they fall foul of the referee, penalties will kill their score. David Pocock ($425K) is the exception to this rule, sometimes.

3. Don't fill your team with players from the bottom half of the ladder. They may be cheaper but there is usually a good reason why, apart from first year rookies.

ROOKIES TO WATCH

1. Ardie Savea ($100K), Hurricanes, backrow

New Zealanders take their backrowers very seriously. This younger brother of All Black, Julian Savea, is being touted as a future international. The flanker has performed well during trial games and will undoubtedly get a run this season, sooner rather than later.

2. Bundee Aki, ($80K); Charlie Ngatai, ($125K), Chiefs, centres

These two young barnstorming centres are fighting it out for the position left vacant by Sonny Bill Williams. Another factor to consider is that All Black centre winger Richard Kahui ($275K) is one hard tackle away from his seventh shoulder operation.

3. Johnny McNicholl, ($75K), Crusaders, winger

Crusader's winger stocks are running low with Zac Guildford in rehab, Sean Maitland playing overseas and Kurt Baker injured. This young speedster knows how to find the tryline and should get the call-up in the early fixtures.

In conclusion, I would like to wish all Super Rugby Fantasy managers good luck for the season.
