Cheat Sheet and Projections
We've reviewed players from each team in the Parramatta Eels vs Sydney Roosters match-up to help you make the best picks on Saturday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Mitchell Moses (PAR, FLEX/HH) | $18,090 | 60.1 | 3.3 |
| Value | Daniel Tupou (SYD, OB/FLEX) | $9,270 | 40.8 | 4.4 |
| Fade | Nat Butcher (SYD, FLEX/FWD) | $15,630 | 34.9 | 2.2 |
| Cheapie | Spencer Leniu (SYD, FLEX/FWD) | $8,730 | 37.6 | 4.3 |
According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're 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.

Conclusion
When building your NRL Eels vs Roosters Round 15 teams, consider starting with a value player like Daniel Tupou. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Mitchell Moses is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, take a look at our cheapie options, including Spencer Leniu.
On the other hand, according to our model, Nat Butcher is one of the lowest value options in this game, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if building multiple line-ups.
