Cheat Sheet and Projections
We have reviewed players from each team in the Parramatta Eels vs Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks match-up to help you make the best selections on Thursday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Mitchell Moses (PAR, HH/FLEX) | $19,240 | 58 | 3 |
| Value | Brendan Hands (PAR, FLEX/HH) | $8,000 | 36.5 | 4.6 |
| Fade | Blaize Talagi (PAR, FLEX/OB) | $10,030 | 12.4 | 1.2 |

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 budget-conscious strategies, "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 Sharks Round 13 teams, consider starting with a value player like Brendan Hands. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Mitchell Moses is a strong option. If you're looking for budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, explore our cheapie options, including Joe Ofahengaue.
On the other hand, according to our model, Blaize Talagi is one of the lowest value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if building multiple line-ups.
