Cheat Sheet

We have reviewed players from each team in the Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters match-up to help you find the best selections on the slate.

Selection	Player	Salary	Proj. Pts	Pts/$1K
Stud	Kalyn Ponga (NEW, OB/FLEX)	$18,850	61.3	3.3
Value	Dylan Lucas (NEW, FLEX/FWD)	$12,050	50.7	4.2
Fade	Terrell May (SYD, FLEX/FWD)	$16,270	42	2.6
Cheapie	Fetalaiga Pauga (SYD, FLEX/OB)	$8,000	32.7	4.1

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is expected to score the most points across the entire slate, while "value" picks offer the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.

Conversely, a "fade" is a player deemed less valuable due to a poor projected score relative to their salary, and for those needing to fill their line-up while staying under the salary cap, "cheapie" options refer to undervalued players at lower price points.

Lastly, 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.
