Cheat Sheet and Projections
We've reviewed players from each team in the Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades match-up to help you find the best choices on Monday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Ben Dwarshuis (SYS, BOW) | $16,900 | 50.7 | 3 |
| Value | Daniel Hughes (SYS, BAT) | $9,600 | 34.6 | 3.6 |
| Fade | Josh Brown (MLR, BAT) | $17,600 | 39.3 | 2.2 |

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks offer the most "bang for your buck," meaning they are expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For those needing to stay under the salary cap, "cheapie" options refer to the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.
In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.
The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.
